Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

I don't think it would survive in my climate. I believe I'm too far North.

My sister in law lives in Florida and she has avocado trees she started from seed herself. I don't believe the tree has produced anything yey, though.

We have three self-seeded avocado trees and only one has fruited. It took about 8 years to do so!

I am trying to sprout avocado pits.

So far it’s only two weeks. I’m waiting. And I have five more pits to set up.

Very cool. Good luck!

I just noticed she is starting to get some gold feathers on her neck.

I love a beard and muffs. Very exciting!

Sorry kids, but Arizona pooped on my laptop and I'm trying to fix it

I hope you had some kind of protection on the keyboard!

Look who is feeling better enough that she is back to roosting at night. 2nd night she's got up on the roost herself. This morning when I turned the hooligans loose she was still on the roost so I got her down myself. She may want to roost, but I'm still worried the jolt of hopping down on her own will be too much for her. She's also been free ranging all day now for the past week, she is sticking to area's that are safe and if she needs to can get under cover easily. Her limp is improved but it is still there. I think from here on out she will always have a bit of a limp.

Breeze, just a lump is an amassing outcome from where she was. That is incredible.

Funny you should say that; it’s raining avocados here at the moment! (Probably due to the cockatoo in the avocado and lemon trees atm!) Video to follow…

I can't wait to see that video!

When made tight it really is. Delicious!

"Tight"?

Cocky in the lemon tree. When he’s on the roof I imagine it sounds like Fatbird on Shad’s roof!

Not a problem. I have a spare, I'm using right now

They were and the big hens all took a nap in the sun/shade
