Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I don’t know. They are foam, so they’re a bit squishy. It packs a pretty good punch, though, so I think it would sting if it made contact. Maybe. I’d kind of like to shoot myself to see how bad it is. Lol!

NO, don’t do it! Life is too precious to be ended, and your family needs you!
You know I’m kidding.

GASP!!! Alex! I am soooo sorry! I thought I was up to speed, but did not know she died. I knew she was unwell, but missed this part. I am so very sorry.

Thanks Michelle, yes it hurts me really bad to have lost her.

She’s roosting right next to her new friend Rocks-Anne tonight. but I heard Jaffar gurgling his throat again, so he’s inside with me tonight. (Movie night I guess) I gave him some moxicillin in his meally worms. Seems to stop respiratory illnesses in most cases for my babies. He’s resting completely comfortable on my shoulder at the moment.

So for lucky here, but most of my gang is young, except old Nellie, she will be 6 this Spring. Been told chickens can live to over 12 yrs!

How old is Jaffar? He looks really good in photos u posted

Honestly I don’t know? He was older when I got him. (Miracle meeting with Jaffar too)

Do you think that those would scare off a fox? I am mostly wondering how hard those balls are. I had a persistent fox last summer who was coming around during the daytime and I was considering getting a slingshot, but ended up just letting out my dogs who chased it off and I never saw it again although I am sure it is still around. When we got our first few snowfalls, I could see tracks that paced the fence of my chicken run.

It will leave a bruise on a human if fired at to close a range. Will that deter a fox? I don't know.

Well the paintball gun definitely sent the fox running away fast.
