Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[micstrachan]

Tomorrow is “Opening Day,” which is the welcome back for the teachers and staff. I’ll be up bright and early!

That is the the largest pupil I've seen on a chicken....are you sure she's not high?

Wouldn’t they be pinpricks if she was? Not that I have any experience with these sorts of things.

Just popping in to say Hi! I’ve not forgotten about everyone… I got a new phone and have been having a really hard time getting on line with it (buying a signal booster thing, very soon) I wanted to let everyone know we are mostly doing ok, and working on raising some more funds to get the house up. FIL’s friends now want cash in addition to lots of Goat meat for life, thanks to yet more family drama. I’m getting close to having the house at least weather tight for winter, I hope.

Chicken news… we have some more new chicks and I’m getting more hatching eggs from my friend. My roosters can’t really cover the flock right now and all my Brodie’s keep trying to sit on dud eggs. We lost Cass to a raccoon, and my friend lost 8 of his hens to a mink (we eventually got the mink trapped and taken care of).

Arduinna keeps going into heat and attempting to go find herself a boyfriend. So we are now on leash at all times outside until she’s actually old enough to breed.

Our Summer markets have resumed, so we are quite busy with sausagemaking. And I’m now selling all my eggs through our general store, which is helping keep things more manageable.

I hope everyone is doing well, and that I can get our internet situation worked out soon and get back in touch more regularly.

Wonderful to hear from you Kris. I was wondering how you were. It’s good that things are moving right along. Good luck with the markets.

Jaffar has not crowded yet, I know he had a busy rooster day yesterday but I’m concerned. He’s usually my alarm cluck!

Poor baby. She is not as bad as Hattie but that is certainly a tough one. I would send her hugs but they would hurt.

Send her walnuts instead.
