Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Your Wayback Machine sound effects are so fun I had to go look up "Mr Peabody's Improbable History" on YouTube.

I was a bit disappointed. Your sound effects are much better.

That's so funny. Thank you. I guess I remember it differently than it was in the cartoon.

Did James Bond do disguises much? I thought that was more of an Inspector Clouseau thing.

Bond does not do disguises. But he does hide and observe. Clouseau and Sherlock Holmes did disguises.

Not really no, but I was rushing through some emails at the time and didn't give the spy music much thought

I think it is perfect as she hiding and observing not disguising. But that's me.

You have a week left.

Loved this as a kid! I was quite shocked to rent the video at age 20 and see all the racy bits they cut out!

What a great laugh to start my day. Thanks!

Poor Phyllis. I hope the heat breaks. You’re doing great with her! My fan doesn’t drop the temp like that. Are you pushing the hot air through a good vent? My coop is well ventilated, but there’s no tunnel effect to push air through. Trying to figure out how to utilize my fans more effectively.

Both fans are running. The fan in the main window pushes air into the coop and out the back vents. The misting fan pushes air down the roost perpendicular to the window fan.

Stay Away!

Phyllis is getting more protective. This video shows how she reacts when any other hen comes within 3 feet (1 meter) of her.

New trial with my turkeys and rooster. My Bramha rooster and my two Tom's are starting to fight. I just stood there and watched to make sure the turkeys don't kill my rooster. Obviously it's two against one. I got scared and picked up my rooster to get it to stop but he wasn't having any of that. As soon as I put him back down on the ground he went after the turkeys again. So the watching continued. The turkeys hit the rooster a few times with there wings and tried to use a bit of feet action but they used there wings more then anything. My rooster was not impressed with there ninja skills. So he showed the two turkeys what a real ninja looks like. It was amazing. The rooster knocked both of them on there feathery butts and the turkeys came running to me to protect them. was funny in away. Anyway the turkeys backed down and now know not to mess with Roscoe the rooster. Thor and Odin the turkeys are giving Roscoe his dew respect .

97°F (36°C) in the coop yesterday. I have started taking her off the nest in the afternoon now to get her out of the house. I take her out and deploy the mister fan to drive the temp down.

Wow, that is insane. Have you thought of deploying a patio umbrella to give the whole complex more shade?
Over this summer I have really grown to appreciate how fortunate I am that the Chicken Palace is situated in some quite good shade from a tulip tree - it seems to be worth about 10 degrees which is amazing.

I got a fan (not a misting one) but can't figure out how to use it. Doesn't yours stir up a lot of dust?
Whenever Maggie does one of her 'see I can fly too' imitations there is a lot of dust and when the Roadrunners actually fly for real there are clouds of it. I am struggling to see how I can get the benefit of a fan without a dust cloud.
Maybe the mister is the key and I should get one of those. I like the fan a lot and have it on me when I sit out in the chicken yard with them but I haven't actually used it for the Princesses yet.
