Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I think maybe your soil retained too much moisture for them. They can live for months without water and their roots only need a rinse with water. They will rot if they stand in water.

Here’s a photo of the tree from further back, it’s the one on the left. The one on the right isn’t fruiting.

Here’s our original one that self-seeded about eight or nine years ago. It’s never fruited.

And because this is a chicken forum, here is a video of a grooming session.

Sweet little hens!

Here's my snow picture. We ended up with about 3 inches. I realized that I need to put up a center post for the netting. Hopefully it holds until then.

We have frangis too. They were slow to establish but doing better now, though still not flowering. Avos are everywhere here. The farm down the road has about 6 different varieties as well as Lychees but unfortunately most of the mangoes are the stringy ones.

It's like a painting. Very cool.

What a sweet grooming session. Those trees are really cool. I've eaten a lot of avocados without ever knowing what the trees look like. Thanks for educating me.

We beat you. We're are at 4 inches. Beautiful storm though. Her's a look around my backyard right before dark.

And the dwarf maple in my front yard after night fell.

That’s probably what happened. Cranky about that! Not only were they $50 each, one was red and the other was orange, so different to what we normally have around here.
