Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Good job then! Besides mowing the lawn, you need to wash the car!

I never wash my truck hahaha

Unless I travel on logging roads with knee deep mud

I don’t want to jinx anything, but I am now obsessively watching got birthing videos and checking on the Goatlings every couple of hours. Someone has a bit of an udder developing… fingers crossed everyone, neither of us has done this before (cows are so easy to manage… oh look a calf)

She (her body) knows what to do

Likely only one first time around... Usually. Oh I am excited!

Well I got the stalls cleaned, water done, hay down, the window out and half-arse done (chicken wire and mosquito mesh up), sprayed weeds (we shall see if Scott's weed be gone works). But I didn't get the grass mowed .

I think I might take a few vacation days Thursday and Friday.... If it doesn't rain!

Well done. For my part I cobbled together a ground level Hooligan enclosure so now I need them to go to sleep so I can transfer them over. I hope this works and gets them out and about. Bernadette's leg is no better, but also no worse and I am convinced it is holding them all back because they won't go where Bernadette can't go.

Maybe you will find out, when you wash the “truck” that it’s actually a car under all that mud!

I don't drive no car

I found I couldn't fit a round bale in my Ford Fusion!!!

Got me a honking big truck - no way I am gonna wash a truck. I sweet talk the guys on site to do that

Hello to all followers of this huge wonderful thread and to @BY Bob who kindly invited me to participate.
I have something to confess...I've been silently lurking here for a while. I feel kind of guilty as if I had been spying . I'm probably not going to post very often as this thread is already very dense, and I already ramble far too much on Shadrach ex-batts thread, but I did want to introduce myself and my chickens. I will feel more at ease to like or comment on some of your posts.

I am a french city gal that moved in summer 2019 to the country, in my partner's family old house in the prealps. In January 2020, we got six three months old ex-battery hens as livestock. They quickly became our new friends. Meet Blanche, Nougat, Caramel, Cannelle, Brune and Vanille.

Last December a farmer gave us a couple of bantams : a teenage awkward cockerel and a feral girl. Théo turned into a pretty bullying young rooster bigger than a bantam, Chipie stayed feral. Integration was a disaster but no one died and now they are more or less part of the flock.

I must add that we got two sibling barn kittens, Hibou and Tila, in November 2020 to solve a mice problem.
A year went by and they had become my partner's spoilt children.

Our next addition will be two ponies but we still have a bit of work to get our settings ready before that.
I've been way too long but at least I won't feel so creepy now when I read about all of you . Have a nice Friday and week-end everyone.

How lovely to see you over on this thread!
