Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Aurora's voice is grating for certain. I get it. It's like she smoked 3 packs a day for years.

I have to say, for all she is a pretty delicate looking alien, Lulu's voice is quite annoying! Maggie is loud as all hell but I don't find her voice grating. I hope Lulu grows out of this stage!

Muppet?

Does this pullet not look like a Muppet?

No one is thirsty today as we finally have some real rain! I'm so thankful! So this is a photo from a few days ago. As usual chosing the dirty water bucket over the clean one.

Big To Dos at Fluffy Butt Acres

I can't believe that everyone accepted my explanation for the refurb of the prefab. It did come out wonderfully (if I do say so myself).

Look closely at where it is placed.

It is in the corner behind the magnolia tree. That is so I can use it as........

A QUARANTINE COOP!

While I cannot create a full 30 foot quarantine environment, I can isolate new chickens and fence off my tribe from them.

So BY Bob, if you are setting up a quarantine coop you must be anticipating new chickens.

Why yes I am. They arrived today.

Everyone meet the newest residents of Fluffy Butt Acres. None of them have names yet.

This young lady is a Jubilee Orpington. Hopefully he and Hattie will have some adventures together.

This young lady is a Buff Laced Polish (and already Mrs BY Bob's favorite).

Here are all three starting to move about their new home.

Obviously tons of more photos and videos to come!

I'm a bit late to the party but WHAT! I really thought you were doing this just because of Mrs BY Bob's whim . Congratulations, that's quite a few new arrivals, things should be fun for a while for you and your animal family !

I really wish you could get a good night's sleep. You would feel so much better.

Thanks you and me both...

Have to say though, there is something to be said for the splendors of the night

I should try to dig up some of my northern lights pics. Maybe @Lexicon also has some me to share

Glad you're getting some rain, I hear Europe has been crazy hot and dry.

My hens also like muddy dirty water to drink, and it freaks me out when my horses drink from puddles in the field!!!!! Ewwwww!

Also blaming you… and karma. Definitely enabler karma… be careful it may come for you and Barb too. You might find an orphaned Camel out on a pipeline job, adopt it, and bring it home!

Oh I already got a cat that way... Missy was found up behind the headlights of one of our inspectors truck, the guys thought it would be 'fun' for me to have cat to keep me company in Brandon Manitoba hahaha.

When I was up north of Wapasu AB they guy tries to catch a wild horse for me hahaha - and don't get me started on the little black bear!!!

A camels would be nice though!

It is never dull around here without new chickens.

Now growing and integrating will keep me busy well into the fall.

I would love to see those. I will waive any Northern lights tax as well.
