Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

You must have a more delicate strain of mouse than I do.
I put peppermint oil on little cotton swabs and the mice ate the cotton!

Jersey mice are tough!

I also had Roxanne L'oeuf and Stanley Stallion Chicken; Roxanne turned out to be a Rocky - but he was so used to Roxanne it stuck. Both were killed by a fox one evening which broke my heart. And meant the end of my chicklet roaming.... At that time I then only had the 3 McNugget triplets left.

Then I ended up with the Chick-fil-A foursome, followed by my cousin's Golden Girls (Blanche, Sophia, and old Penelope Cruz).

All this since last April 2021 ! Seems so long ago now

Of course four more chicklets hatched here this Autumn (Rose and Dorothy to complete the Golden Girls, and two roosterlets - Thang1 and Thang2) and before I knew it I have 14 sqwaking clucks here!!!!

The 2 Thangs will have to go unfortunately, apparently u can't geld chickens like you can male horses..... I will likely process them as the thought of them going somewhere being mistreated and then inhumanely killed for meat would haunt me....

To think this time last year the horses and I were bored with nothing to entertain us....

Chickens sure are entertainment.

I’ve got two and a half hours sitting in a car, I’m determined to catch up again!

Yup, if I had know how much fun they r, I would have got some yrs ago!!!! Though not really practical with my work schedule... Thankfully got the barn cams hahaha.

 

[Ponypoor]

Me either. Just know people who do.

Snowboarding... Dangerous stuff, I worked at a large ski resort here and my office looked out over the snowboard hill with all the jumps and stuff - it was very distracting seeing people go flying - usually head first - and eat dirt... Or snow in this case

Good thing they wear helmets! Hahaha.

I'll stick to slippery chicken doodoo tho...

I just heard snakes referred to as ‘danger noodles’!

 

[Ponypoor]

Yup
Misty Chick-fil-A
whiskers Chick-fil-A
buttercup Chick-fil-A
And
Pangoo Rooster-brat Chick-fil-A

After I posted this I wondered if those outside northern America know what Chick-fil-A is...

It's a restaurant chain in the US, they have these funny billboards along highways with slogans like 'Eat more Chikin' with cows holding up signs, play on the word chicken.
They don't server burgers, but do have fish sandwich along with Chikin .

They r also CLOSED Sundays and Christmas holidays. An unusual business strategy and hence Feathers reference to 'Sunday' .

There r a few in South Ontario here but non were I am. For which I am sure my Chikins are happy - hahahaha !!

Just wanted to share a video I took yesterday; the Willy Wagtails were giving the crows some aggro. There’s chickens in there too so I don’t owe tax.

I wonder if the wagtails have a nest nearby?
