Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Devils Flower]

I'm thankful my chickens don't make this much noise. My ducks are very chatty but nothing like my turkeys.

Aww, sweet!

No Chicks Today

They are not here yet. Looks like they are still in Cleveland.

Oh no, I am catching up after a day away. I’m sorry they didn’t arrive yet but tomorrow is nearly on you

 

[Scrambles83]

I am not dealing very well. I'll head out to the coop in a bit and start refining it.

So beautiful

I didn’t answer her question, (I don’t expose my sources in the airlines) but I know a few.

That's OK Alex, I don't need to know the source, but a description of the incident could be entertaining

True! I love the image the half-cow is bringing up! ... I'm afraid by us, even a bit of meat scrap in the garbage will bring a bear by in the night, besides coyotes and feral cats and the general raccoon / possums. We don't put anything out until the morning of pickup. Wouldn't one have vultures circling overhead by day?

The other thing is, could encouraging maggot flies to hang around the chickens increase the chances of flystrike?

I may worry too much, sorry.

Was it @Kris5902 who showed pictures of how she raised live mealworms or crickets or something in drawers? I like that idea better.

She did. She raised worms in drawers under her coffee table, which was an ingenious use of space.

And meal worms don't have much of a smell!

Look at you turkey mum with your turkey babies! They are so cute! (and they sound nothing like chickens )

 

[Ribh]

Aww, Ribh, thanks for sharing! They are darling and the Vorwerks look huge!

The Vorwerks are much bigger than I imagined they would be.

You have access to so many lovely breeds.

I've had to wait on most of them becoming available. They are rare here for a reason...
