Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

It's Pony Sunday!! I will take new pictures today, but for now I have dug through the archives.

First up Dirt.
First picture I have of him when he arrived to the barn 4 months before we bought him and to me his official baby picture. He was 16 or 17 months old here.

He turns 5 this spring and finally, finally there is a brain between those ears of his.

Congrats on being our first Pony Sunday poster. He is a handsome fellow for sure!

Don’t you find the jigsaw burns through the smaller batteries a little quickly? I had to trim a hurricane tie strap someone set a little off kilter in the concrete today and my angle grinder sucked a 4ah and half of a 6ah battery dry in no time! Nice saw too… I have been looking at them, but will see if I can get my craftsman mitre running first, you’re going to have to give a tool review on it now for me!

Nothing drains batteries faster than the jig saw. You are so right. Not even the nail gun or hedge clippers. I bought the miter saw out of frustration just yesterday. I couldn't take the handsaw/miter box combo any longer. It may be the best money I've ever spent on a tool. I'm in love with it.

He is a very handsome boy!

Yes, just like any animal (dogs, CHICKENS, etc...they take a while to 'grow up' and get beyond those teenage hormone years and settle into being the semi-calm, intelligent being that they can be.)

Hmmm...looks like Betty has already figured out what the cracked corn is kept in!!! Wonder how long before she figures out how to pry the cover off??

Wonderful! I love chickens in the house!

Gorda is looking for a treat. We use to feed her on this chair before she was integrated into Cholo's flock. For a while she would come peck on the door and come inside to visit and lay her eggs.

It's Back!

64°F (17.7°C) yesterday and the ladies and I woke up to this in the morning!

The drop door is up and the tribe is mixing today.

Phyllis and Betty were exploring under the big coop.

Here is video of the 5 hens together with Betty hanging under the main coop.

Can you hear the song bird? It seems I have at least one back! I love the sound. I have missed it.

Lovely - remind me how he came by his name?

Well I can see where I need to come for power tool advice - between you and @Kris5902 I suspect you are roughly 10,000 times more competent and experienced (and that is probably an under estimate).

My friend JD was over last night for dinner and he was also admiring the saw. He said he always wanted one but could never spend the money. Now he had one he can borrow!
