Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Yep I don't have an issue as long as it's not my pet.

I am the one helping my BIL clean rabbits... 30 seconds to clean one

That's impressive. You must have dressed a lot of them.

Peach trees are sensitive, even if you don't hit the roots if you disturb the plant and stress it that can be enough.

Oh dear ....

I might have kept this bit of knowledge to myself.

They think their insides are delicacies.

Of course they do. They are little dinosaurs!

This is what I have found for Canada, importing eggs for personal use. Apparently can import up to 2 dozen for personal use (excluding broiler eggs...?), So wonder if I can get some polish eggs brought up here

I may need to check on importing again. Things may have changed. I do not need any more chickens, but Marans from France is something I one day hope to have.

I just love it! Is that a sky light? It looks great! You must be thrilled!

Yes, they have a skylight. I am really happy and I’m looking forward to them moving in.

I will say this once, I'm disappointed in you. You knew this trip was coming so you had plenty of time to line up exporting eggs from a breeder of the Italian Leghorns. Incubators could have been found and ready. If I ever get a opportunity to go to France, you can bet I will do my best to have everything ready and in hand to import some Marans eggs. They were developed in France and some of the best looking Marans are found in France. They are not referred to as French Copper Marans for nothing.

*I am joking just a bit on the disappointed part*

I have researched extensively how to legally import the original Italian leghorn. To say even getting eggs is not easy is an understatement. If it were just a little simpler it would be done.

However, it is my retirement plan to reintroduce the original Italian leghorn to America. I will do this someday.

It looks lovely!
Where is the roost?

It’s a bit hard to see but there are two. I was a bit concerned that they might not be strong enough, but they should be ok. I can always reinforce the lower one if there’s too much give in it.

Rosie used to have a paper towel obsession. Couldn't go anywhere near her with one. If she spotted kne in hand or pocket she would jump up a snatch them and then run.

Aurora is like that with food.

Rosie is standing on Stars grave. We are planning on making a sitting area here.

That will be beautiful.
