Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Yes!! I actually have 2 Polish Crested named Harry and Cow Bunting, one Buff Orpington named Celestia one Silkie named Debbie, one New Hampshire named Puffy, one Barred Rock named Kiki, one Black Austrolorp named Tussle, and one Brahma named Perpetua! I will take pics later!

Wow! Another great assortment!

I just remembered I have a Light Brahma too! Her name is Felicity! Poor girl, I forgot all about her!!

We were just talking about miss counting and forgetting the other day around here. @RoyalChick struggles to count to 7............

I think it's 7..............

It's 7 right @RoyalChick

Yup. That is 7. I know, some of you have double digits to count but I am finding 7 a challenge!

The idea being that they would then abandon the hive and move elsewhere without killing them?

No, it was supposed to kill them, but the sheet interfered. Will try again tonight.

Mugshot Monday
For all you new joiners to the flock, Monday is a day to post mugshots of your chickens.
Today’s mugshot is brought to you by Minnie.
She has already entered a plea of not guilty.

I sure hope that Glynda's face is adorable as Minnie's when she is all grown up.

I'm more than double that. Plus I have to fish them out of trees & things before I can count them.

Thanks, RC! Miss you! I just put a hose on the nest, which is covered with a sheet at the moment, and there was zero activity. I’d like to uncover it, inspect and really soak it, but I think I’ll wait until night time. The two stings I got when I discovered the nest swelled up quite a bit, and I’d rather not risk more. The non-toxic method was mixing peppermint pure castile soap and pouring it over the nest.

To clarify… the hose on the nest was not the kill method. The method was a peppermint Castile soap solution. Going for round 2 without a sheet tonight! (I had put a sheet over it in an attempt to keeping them from escaping.)

Rooster crusher.

There must be a story behind rooster crusher. Please share

Clean up on aisle 5
This is the aftermath of a major feeding frenzy. Scrambled egg with rice and melon guts. Lord I thought I wouldn’t get out of there alive!
Bella nearly knocked herself unconscious on the hanging feeder in her excitement to get to the melon guts and everyone forgot to attack each other in their enthusiasm.
I have escaped and managed to get a shot of the clean-up crew at work.
