Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Alex, there is a misunderstanding here. I am not at all offended… just teasing like you do.

That’s okay, you can call me Alex, or Alexander, or even Allen. Just don’t call me late for dinner

I’m taking Marie (new airplane name) out for a flight today. I just sent my neighbor Marie to Walmart to buy meally worms for my chooks. She also takes care of my chickens while I’m away . Rest In Peace Jeanette (I miss you terribly)

Oops, I meant Lorie not Marie. Why do I have Marie on my feathered mind lately?

So, you are taking Lorie out and having Marie go to Walmart, right? lol

One mistake and the whole world learns of it!

I’m just glad my roo Jaffar has my back! You BYC people are ruthless!

Oh yes. I am well aware of that.
But it is all outside the Chicken Palace now so when they are inside the Palace they should be secure.
The ditch is well outside the Chicken Palace and crosses the arbitrary line of deer fencing enclosing the long grass and preventing the Princesses from straying into the truly wild world of the field and the woods.
I don’t consider the long grass secure from predators so I am out with them or at least in the area.
Once the drainage is done then I can electric wire around the long grass which will be better, but never really secure because of the massive hawks that are around.

Oh. That's much better. I was concerned. They are clever girls though, aren't they?

Aww, that is so cute, ?Sylvie 'grooming' Legertha?, (I think I have them correct. my apologies to the girls if not!)

Yes. That's Sylvie.

I decided not to fly today, but I hugged my plane, Told her the new name I warranted her with, and am heading to see my Chaco . Yes I love my horse too!

I'll join you two waiting on winter layers.

Me 3. Storm is due around Christmas.

Indeed! Most clever to realize that the big open field the surfaced in was waay less safe than the long grass and the Chicken Palace.
Nearly done with this phase and then I need a good rain shower so I can check everything is draining well and can decide how much further away to pipe the water. I am at the end of this pipe and not yet at the surface so will likely have to add a pipe - meanwhile I will put a critter barrier on the end to stop anyone crawling up it.

Edited to add: Yipee - rain tomorrow during the day so I can go out and inspect how well the water flows and whether I need to extend my pipe a little or a lot.

It’s still dark outside, but I let out Dakota and Arizona. And just opened the coop door. And yes, held me wonderful rooster Jaffar. He’s looking fine today! A quick breakfast, then I’m off to hug my horse Chaco. Maybe I’ll send a mugshot of her today as well. (But she’s not a chicken)

You know Alex, have you considered building a second coop for Arizona and Dakota sort of like the current Phyllis situation?
