Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Kris5902]

Hey I live in the country, u phone me when I am bored u get pulled into my warped entertainment

So for a little bit I was was watching these small poultry farm livestreams from goldshaw farm in Vermont … and they were on Facebook. Then I would get these random friend and chat requests (not a bot, but an actual scammer-because there’s no way a bot would have been able to deal with my responses) I was a little bored one day so I played along for a bit, sent lots of pictures that couldn’t be used to make another fake account, and constructed some pretty elaborate backstories and plot twists. My favourite was the one where I started out conversing like an evangelical sort of missionary, about our “Lord” then spun it to a satanist angle on day two of the “chat”… and there was the prepaid CC I finally gave him the number for $200, with $2.50 left on it that took him over ten hours to get. The first account I also spammed the heck out of his wall with scammer alert messages (that account had 300 friends all females, and had been active for almost a year) eventually I got bored, but it did provide for some good comic relief

My neighbor gave me a box (4 lbs) of vegan butter, yesterday. What am I doing to do with vegan butter?

Bake with it?

Personally I would probably fix it with fire… I don’t do fake stuff… I don’t mind vegetarian or vegan fare, as long as it’s actually vegetables and not pretending to be dairy or meat. So many great vegetarian recipes out there… why anyone would want to eat such a highly processed, wasteful product pretending to be something they are morally against is just boggling to me.

This is my fifth attempt at coop integration with this bird. So far I haven’t heard anything furious, and no screaming either.

I integrated one of my jerk cockerels into the free range flock’s coop last night (I named Him Spike and he’s been mingling more with the flock than his little bachelor Tribe anyway) so today he decided to hang out with the guys all day instead! but he did go up to roost in the Chicken Trailer all on his own tonight so I don’t know… but he was squeaking and almost alarming and stressing everyone out. Didn’t like my intrusion for the bedtime head count at all.

Thank you. Both of these are a bit big. I have 3 different groups, so something that was maybe a quart - 1 for each group ...but it definitely gave me an idea of where to look/ Thank you!!!

you're welcome. The 2nd link had at least 1 more same shape in a later listing, smaller but otherwise same thing. I've seen more like it (different store, no website), assorted sizes. Some were marked for rabbit? feeders. 1-2 qt sizes exist....and a pic is worth a thousand words.

Without the bugs

What? No grasshoppers?! Sad chickens around here! Those are the best part of summer! (And entertaining to watch the hunt/chase, too)

Here it is “your SIN (social security number? I think is the American equivalent) is being used for illegal purposes and you will be arrested if you do not immediately…” or an “illegal package addressed to you has been held by border services and to avoid jail time” and of course all the banks I don’t use are constantly having problems with my non existent accounts, as is Netflix… I hope they don’t actually get people with these scams

The SSN gets used as does the "IRS is reporting you to the authorities. To avoid jail time, verify...." Sadly they do get enough people to give them information (or even just a recording of your own voice saying "yes": from the "to speak to a representative say yes) to make it worth the time. The other frequent one: Grand(ma/pa), I've been arrested while on Spring Break/vacation/out of the country, please send bail money. I've taken to answering in languages ither than English. Responses have included: "What language are you speaking?" And "Is there someone in the house who speaks English?" Mental response to both: "If I don't speak English, what makes you think I would understand EITHER question? Can I sell you some beach front property on the Great Plains?"

Tax:

Storm, Cuckoo, Nellie, Cuckoo, Cheetah, PITA
Blanche behind them, Twirp right edge

She's grown her back feathers again, but still got bare elbows. We've had very little sun in the last three weeks, but that's a good point.

It’s not fake. It’s peanut butter made from cashews. Delicious. Send it to me any day!
