Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

They were doing just fine when I got home, still in the area of the rocks. Started to follow me out to the coop (Mama Jess is trying to claim the whole thing), got strung out, and retreated to under the deck, by the wood pile. Headed inside. Working at the table/prepping dinner when I see them headed around the other side of the house.....ABSOLUTLEY NOT (no adults) I head out the door, feather footy kid heads out opposite side door, and loops around behind them (no instructions, just does it). Grabbed a bit of scratch on the way by the garage and I led while he "pushed" from behind. got all the way to the chicken door, they started inside, Jess had a fit and scared them right back out......hmmm.....how to work that.....open big door, toss pinches of scratch into EVERY corner of the coop. Close door, back around, herd babies....she lets them in and they headed for food. It's late enough they're likely to settle in somewhere as the adults start to head in within the next hour to 1.5 hours. Even if she stirs them back out, they likely won't go far, and we'll go back out to see how things are and close it. No idea on eggs today, haven't looked yet. She's getting feistier.

Wow lots of drama!

You're obviously a pro at herding cats

Mr. Bunny

Mr. Bunny was spotted in the yard today. With Éowyn outside so much it is no surprise that the bunnies have been absent.

Well, Mrs BY Bob let Éowyn out and Mr. Bunny had to be fished out of the pool. It's a good thing that Éowyn is not a real experienced hunter at this point.

Wow !! Glad you got to Peter Rabbit

This is wonderful. I love seeing them outside.

Me too. Here's to hoping they'll head out on their own tomorrow

Cats can also be in the shot. It's really about the mug.

Mine from this week.

[rural mouse]

I was thinking it...at a guess, she's thinking about it.

Don't herd cats: they have claws and fangs

I believe I will start with a double batch and add some fresh blackberries

Yep mum does a double batch. Blackberry would be awesome

I told mum and she will try that also next time.

Oh that is so awesome

I am so glad it's worked out, we expect pics of Basil and his ladies along with Mr Butthole Goat and his gang (Pony Sunday...?)

Hi, ummm can I get some pictures of Basil with your goats? See there this chicken website and on Sundays we post pictures of our Horses, and now goats and cows, and I don’t have any goats so… @RebeccaBoyd I can just totally hear this conversation

 

[Kris5902]

Heyyyyy

It's what I tell the gals so they don't get a cannibal complex

Don’t worry they don’t get those complexes… you should see them play tag while running around with a drumstick in their beak.

Looking over the mug of cappuccino, at the city below, I hear the theme song in the background!

Not a cappuccino, no foam. And the foam of a cappuccino is different from that of a latte, and practically no one can actually tell the difference here. The cup is too big for a proper espresso, unless it’s a bit of a perspective thing??? So @BY Bob what was the beverage of choice? Ah fond memories of Elvis Costello and his darn macchiatos (I’m an awful barista, but had no issues being the coffee bar cashier, or even getting abandoned there, right up until someone would go and order something I didn’t know how to make) espresso sure I push the button, Americano? Tilt and add water. Foam some milk and hope for the best? Sure. But please don’t make me have to google the darn drink to make it! Turns out a macchiato is literally just espresso with a dash of steamed milk… dude, why didn’t you just order that?
