Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Kris5902]

I would love to get another silkie Roo but not if I have Pangoo, not fair to him.

But they sure were cute with their fluffy feathers and fluffy legs hahaha .

The solution is usually more chickens… or more goats, etc. You can certainly have another rooster you just need to add a whole bunch more hens!

Where was Betty in the video?
Poor Phyllis, still getting pecked around and having to do evasive maneuvers, just for being interested in the feeder! There is no rest for her.

Betty was under the big coop grooming. If you look in the background you can see her.

I learnt that lesson with horses haha!

Down to 4 geriatrics now...

Nope the amt of chickies I have is enough!

Esp with my working lifestyle, I am away from home way too much at times!

Well -17C now... Sun just blazing out there ! Got the horses standing broadside to get their solar radiation . Was going to see if I could entice the gang up Mount Poopmore for a bit... Take my cuppa tea out there, sit on a bucket and watch them

How nice

It's been pouring with rain here since last night

Bright and sunny, well above freezing out there… 8 Celsius would be my guess, so not T shirt weather, but just fine for today’s projects

Not really!

I think that is only for the NE/New England coast....but I could be wrong.

Isn't it amazing what a little sunlight does for Lilly's color (and most black girls!)
I just love the irridescence the sunlight brings out!

Lovely - remind me how he came by his name?

My mom gave him his name. We were all thinking of Dusty and she claimed everyone and their grandma had a horse named Dusty. She likes unusual names and decided he was Dirt. When she threw out that in all the shows we worked or attended had we ever saw a horse named Dirt we could not argue with her. I did not like it at first but it grew on me over time and he's Dirtman. I should also point out that before we got him her favorite mare that frequented the shows and won just about everything was named White Trash.

Have real guilt where they r concerned, darn hard lesson learnt. They were the ones killed by a fox - now I don't let anyone roam too far for too long.

Un fortunately many of us came into this without proper predator knowledge. Sometimes even knowing doesn't help. You are not alone.

Ah yes, Kris the enabler.
