Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ChicoryBlue]

It's Caturday here but I haven't seen any Aussies posting cats.

I must rectify the situation.

Two pictures of Noodle.

What a nice set of whiskers on Noodle!

That is a very good outcome considering the type of injury.

I agree!

Now, if he would follow doctor’s orders, rest, elevate and take his nerve pain blockers, that would help, too.

I shared this on pests and predators thread and wanted to share here on Bob’s busy thread... I got these bug zappers and they have diminished the mosquitoes by about 85%...

She could be thinking about it. She is grouchy, but she didn't puff up or shriek. Has she started the broody ticking time bomb cluck yet? I know you have ceramic eggs, maybe place all of them in that nest that phyllis is in. If she does sit, let her sit on them 3 or 4 days to make sure before you swap them out for the real thing. Knowing that you will make sure she will get a drink and eat the entire time sitting a couple days longer then the 21 will not hurt her.

Yes, she hasn’t reached the ‘fluffy screeching pancake’ stage yet.

I hope everyone had or is having a good day. It was so hot here today. I got up to about 110°F down close to the ground (chicken height) in the sun. It’s a little trickier to support them in the heat when I’m letting them free range. When they’re in their run, I can control things a little more. They chose to spend most of the day under my neighbors tree. He had hosed it down so hopefully the crowned was Koolish. At one point I did end up running a hose across the street and facing a found Mr. under the tree. I bought them frozen watermelon, cool water, cool poultry electrolytes with ice cubes in it, and a soupy mash fortified with buttermilk, Nutra drench, and a tiny bit of homemade electrolytes.

I also bought two 9M sections of misting line that’s ready to use and just attach to the hose. I have one wrapped around a side and a half of the chicken run, and the other hanging off the dog’s tether line that stretches over the patio. They are glorious! The one in the chicken area gets things a little too wet, but I’m still happy to have it.

Bob, my new Opolar order still hasn’t shipped! How about yours?

At this point I would add them to mine and take care of them myself. There are only 6.

Me too.

Starting with Blue Eggs,

Oh my gosh, you're going to be over the moon when your first blue egg arrives! I have all my fingers and toes crossed for it.

I know a lot of you on here don’t use it but you gotta love seeing a Facebook ad for a $89 coop and run that they are selling at tractor supply for $899 Damn I wish it was a legit seller though!!!
