Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Indeed she is.

Ok, that's it. I'm going to have to list the two of you on my CV now

I'm not sure how I managed to fool you and Bob yesterday, but I'm glad I did!

Ah, well. I was having a gullible day... Game to you!

 

[MaryJanet]

And I called you sensible...

Well, the Margarets & Helens and the Leonards & Henrys method is certainly a unique approach to sexing wilbirds.

You know I'm secretly delighted, don't you and embarrassed. Hence all the whimsy.

Why? It's funny. I should have known better. I know your predilection for telling stories. And my curiosity is insatiable. I still want to know how to tell the difference ~ but I won't ask you!

I will trade you... I’ll take the rodent problem and you can have my cow infestation... I love them, but they are making mornings impossible! Just a few more days and I will be kicking them out of here!

I have to say, though, I think I have a good pasture recovery/improvement plan going. First graze the cows to knock down the greenery to a reasonable height, then run the chickens intensively for fertilizer and weed control (they love 2/3 of the worst of the weeds here) then run the cows again feeding hay, which re-seeds the pasture with desirable grasses and adds organic material to increase loam and water retention.

Awesome strategy!

I honestly can't tell the difference. For all I know Henry could be Henrietta

This time I should have read ahead.

I'm glad I saw the joke twice

I caught her, before she had a chance to taste any grout

Good deal.
