Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Unlike Flash, I have to tear the cherry tomato a bit before they'll try it. Katydid likes to lick all the juices out and they nibble away at it as a group. Perhaps this will change when they are bigger, but watching them drink out of the tomato is amusing.

I would love to see video of that!

They are soooo cute!

Bob, are they eating bedding? Just in case, and not to stress you out, I’d be checking their crops in the morning and providing chick grit, just in case.

They have a supply of chick grit. I will need to check their cups now. Thanks for the warning. I did drop some meal worms in that spot yesterday for them. I figured that's what they were eating but now you have me worried.

Hi everyone! Great news, the house is scheduled to be closed in at the end of September. We’ve had some ups and downs here, but I’ve gotten a cell signal booster and can get back online a bit again. I just have to rewire things a bit for 12V. Still on our big to do list, the trailer: installing the diesel heater for winter, refurbishing the toilet and bathroom for winter, and requiring our solar system and replacing our batteries.

Arduinna gave me a huge scare, a week ago she broke out of her crate while I was out putting up the chickens, and ate a Remembrance Day poppy! I just finally found the pin today, with my foot, and have never been so thankful to step on a sharp object. She should be getting a domestic Sangeen (milk breed) boyfriend in December, and hopefully another doe friend. So a temporary under the tow pin of the 5th goat barn is also in the works (I’m still stockpiling my pallets, but have a rough design now).

Also, I’ve had quite a few broodies hatching out chicks, including a second round by all my first broodies to hatch out babies. One of which manages to set under my trusses, safe from the humans, but not from the mink or raccoons. Three weeks of worry over predators and she finally hatched out 11!!! Chicks. Getting them all out from the trusses was an adventure in gymnastics and through stinging nettle, but she’s safely set up now with all here babes in a meat tractor.

Apparently I still need to get a WiFi connection to upload pics though… sorry

So wonderful to hear from you Kris. That is super exciting about the house. I assume you will work on the inside through the winter. Perhaps even move inside at some point.

That is quite the lucky goat you have there. You have gone above and beyond for her.

It is so wonderful to here from you. You have been missed.

Whenever I see the name Fenton, I think of this video

How did you ever come across that! Hysterical.

She's a mixed small girl and I really don't know I'm sad to say

She a "chicken". Or as @RoyalChick loves, a "bitsa"

You need true grit (John Wayne style) for those peeps of yours!
