Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

I haven't found leaves yet that match the pictures. But this seems likely, with different local varieties. We have something called a sorrel here, it has tangy leaves. We used to call it sourgrass when I was a kid. I will find some and dig it to see if it has these tubers. But hey, has no one but me actually tasted this, either the leaves or the tubers? And why no curiosity, if not?

I never have! But I am going to sow some and if it thrives I will try it.

This is a first for me!!!!! As soon as I tied down the animal carrier to the back seat of my SkyHawk, I noticed Beethoven-Hen had laid her egg . Had to have been the time between my car, and loading her on the plane. She seems to be okay. (I hope that I didn’t scare her too much) and I hope that I didn’t scare any of you either. Sorry I’m taking her home now. But I’m having her sleep in the house with me tonight.

I ate some as a kid and it was sour.

Yes, it’s very persistent here. Though I didn’t plant it; it was here when I arrived. The deer love it, too.

You mentioned deer. My brother had this visitation today at his house in Washington.

Fly safe.

Didn’t have to! Yay.

I’m driving now, but using voice text. I’m very glad that my wonderful Beethoven is going to be healthy.

This is the variety I think I have, definitely not native to my area, which is why I am keeping it in pots now. I hope to get some native this next year. The area I live is highly contaminated, but was once all wetland prairie, I have been adding in what natives I can bit by bit.

And actually, because of all this stress and drama, I now have Jaffar (my emotional support rooster) in the chickens room. So we have ;
Me,
Arizona and Dakota,
Beethov-Hen,
And yes, the magnificent Jaffar (special rooster) .ready for a good night’s sleep (until 04:30, when Jaffar decides to be a rooster again)

Hopefully someone who gets paid a lot!

He gets paid in LOTS of eggs.

Jaffar, says “good night BYC.” He didn’t like that flash of light!
