Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Yep that's hot!

How do u keep your chickens cool? We get hot and humid here (+35C and very high humidity), and o find it challenging to keep horses and chickens cool ... Fans full tilt in the barn.

I ice their water (using silicone mini loaf pans for the ice blocks) and run fans and/or misters in the run.

Alex, how do they get down from the rafters? Bridge is almost six and doesn’t love jumping down from high places. When she was a pullet, she LOVED to climb and jump up to the top of the play structure (now their coop) and jump/fly off the top. It was INSANE!

There are ladders and ramps inside the coop. But there are also several 3-4 ft high items to hop up on to get closer to the rafters. I haven’t had any complaints except for Jaffar. He can’t get up there.

It’s such an awesome day!

I always love your videos. This one in particular is just full of happiness.

Someone once asked me why I named my little hen Arizona. I don’t really know, but it’s an original name, and fits her.

I’m up tonight, talking with her about starting her egg laying soon. I’m not sure if I am getting my point across

Good to know for summer here.

Weather seems strange today. Overcast and foggy out, but air quality is rated poor. Makes it hard for me to breathe

Good morning

How's the weather today, it like spring here for now. Even the lady birds are about
