Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Noooooo! No more taxes! Especially as with Rural internet and the time differences I tend to bulk post respond when I finally get a chance to sit down in the evenings. Don’t give Bob more tax ideas! Most of my responses are even chicken related I swear! I’ve been keeping most of the non chicken stuff separate…

Everyone should remember that only the initial tax was my idea. All of the others have come from suggestions by others. I do not sit around trying to dream up new taxes to impose on people.

I love that you just had to POINT to the Rooster!

That point and he goes: hum-de-hum-hum, nothing to see here, was just stretching the legs is all....I'll just go back to my spot over there...nothing to see....

I loved that too. He clearly knows! Well trained lad.

Lucky has been a bit stand offish lately. I figured her molt might be starting soon, as she molted at a weird time last year, too. Yep! Here’s the proof.

She doesn’t really look like she’s molting it, but she will. She tends to molt a little on the hard side. She just dropped a feather as I took this photo. See it?

This is a better time to molt than winter. I hope it's not too bad for her.

@BY Bob when did you make a grazing frame? I don't remember you having one before.

That is actually the new roof JD built for the prefab when he was using it. I am using it to try and grow some grass without the chickens digging it up.

They are so cute fast asleep.

Can't remember which thread we were discussing snakes on but Sunday afternoon I killed another venomous snake. This one was in my backyard a few meters from Red's coop. Duke almost stepped on it!. That's 2 cottonmouths within a few days and I saw others on the back side of our pond.

And a mama Jess, baby (no name yet) or I'd be in a bit of trouble with you all living vicariously through chick pics (cough @Ponypoor)

No way you could relocate them somewhere safely or legally? Poor cottonmouths get such a bad rap. (I don’t think it was this thread, but could be wrong) it’s likely mating season for them, timber rattlesnakes are about this time of year, of course a lot depends on the weather… just like my goslings being over a month and a half later than usual here, such crazy weather patterns last year.

Way better! And great for her to take a laying break in the peak of it.
