Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I cannot believe that I can’t find any replacement birds in this Central Valley CA. Hens are being hoarded (I’m down to three hens, and two Roos). Not good

I find it amazing as well. When did chickens become so valuable. You would think some people would have bit off more than they could chew and would be looking for a way out at this point when they have stopped laying. Amazing.

For Christmas this year I decided to surprise Mrs BY Bob by replacing the fish plates we have been using since the children were little. Of course I went looking for something chicken themed. I found these on Wayfair.com, otherwise they would have been way out of my price range. Luckily, she loved them.

My new Son in Law has arrived to celebrate the holidays. He wants to learn how to make pasta by hand and so Mrs BY Bob started his education last night. My daughter and myself are very lucky as we got to enjoy the fruits of that education. Homemade pasta, Mrs BY Bob's sauce (gravy), and her meatballs which the two of them made together on her new Italian plates. Add a little Chianti and it was almost like we were back in Italy last night!
