Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

@BY Bob, I am so glad you are starting to turn the corner...hope you keep improving. Hope also that, though physically taxing, it was emotionally gratifying to be with your girls for a bit.

@RoyalChick seems like you are on the mend, being able to eat - I am sure you are aware that heavy, greasy/fatty foods aren't the best after what you went through, so limit those meal worms

@featherhead007 please follow Dr. orders. somehow you seem to only sort-of-kinda follow them. We like having you around reading your puns, so take care of yourself! Your chooks need you, and we need your levity.

Yes. I know you are right. But it was a real craving - wake up in the middle of the night craving sesame noodles kinda thing!
Now I am back to limiting mealworms.
Beautiful tax pics.

Update on the poor pussycat in the very small box we won't need to go find me anymore because he found yet another comfortable location

This darkest picture is his bottom vertically on my poor dog's head.

Oh the life of that cat.

Thanks Ribh. I tried my best but I didn't have enough knowledge.

Experience makes us wiser. What would be the point of the proverbial 'wise man' if we already knew everything? Hard lessons are the ones we remember...and learn the most from.

I have learned, that “experience is what you get, when you don’t get what you want” I think there’s some truth in that!

OK sorry no pictures of the Buckeyes standing on the Omlet roost bars, but I did measure them (This pic is the bars on storage bins.) The gang spent all their time out and about in both runs, scratching and whatnot, had no interest in visiting when I opened the coop back to clean, and when I went skiing they were beginning what must have been a pretty wild dustbath party because everything in the vicinity of the dirt/ash/peat/rocks/sand pool is now coated with dust.
The platform is 30" deep, and each bar is approx. 1 1/8 inch wide, and each space between a squinch smaller, like 1 inch wide. Two bars and a space make about 3 inches. (Great old ruler, was my mom's. The "Phone" number just says "150")

Thank you so much!

What is that at the back of her head, that red patch? Or is it something behind her?

It's a piece of red binder twine - I removed the hook latch and gerry-rigged the twine to hook the door when it half open so the wind doesn't keep banging and crashing the door good eyes!

This is the smaller of the two you can buy here.
I have these scattered around the place.

BFTP:

okay, @Shadrach, I'm feeling really ignorant right now. How do you fill it? I'm assuming it holds maybe a liter...or two of water inside the large clay portion ? (hard to judge the size)

That's called camouflage
