Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

Well it's freezing cold here so not me!

Any of our Aussie friends? Where it's summer and warm ??

I have nothing like that much free time, sorry. Also they're loving me so much right now I imagine we would end up in a huge cuddle puddle.

Oooooh, are Betty & Lilly having a conversation?

Yes they were. Lilly was telling Betty to stay away from her pasta or she would get the beak.

It is!!

Being worried all the time about vandalism, flat tires, stolen chickens, hurt or killed roosters. Sadly I have to have the sheriff on speed dial. Many of my pictures are of people out of place in the area. (No telling what I would do, if I caught a trespasser breaking into my yard)

I'm sorry that this has happened to your neighborhood.

You be careful, protect you chooks but everything else can be replaced, you can't be!

I've had similar thoughts: and add extra calories in fall/winter when forage isn't available. They know when the ants start turning up (had a swarm of flying ants last fall: they went bonkers for those) and in spring, tear up much of the ant hill. As more insects wake up, they eat much less of the ants (also depends upon the type of ant: they don't like carpenter ants). They also spend more time digging through the horse manure in the paddock below us in late winter/early spring on warmer days: chance of bugs. In high summer, I still provide a little bit of scratch mix to get them started in the cool morning air and have pellets available to them....For the most part, they ignore the pellets and forage all summer. so far, no snakes or ground squirrels, but a few mice, lots of grasshoppers (some pushing locust sized)and whatever else catches their fancy. I haven't seen them going for mosquitoes, but those are so fast and come out at bed time, that I don't think they've tried them. I did pick up (on clearance) a rechargeable mosquito zapper to try this summer: "crispy fried bug snacks". Testing will probably start may/june.

I can't wait for those big fat juicy June Beetles

Yes I’m kidding! Nobody eats Pangoo!

Well as much as I like having him around (his frequently attacking me aside) he will need to be contained when my cousin's kids are around, he could do real damage to small child.
