Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Perris]

These two are so lovely, they stopped me in my scrolling and I backed up to discover they're two of your's Perris! They're really gorgeous chickens.

Thank you, I think so too. I do hope one or two of Paprika's (Venka's eggs) clutch carry on the good-looking genes!

Hi Butterscotch!

Hi MJ! Hru?

Oh i remember that! A video of a broody sitting on light bulbs. I thought Weeg had hers sitting on tennis balls? Could be wrong. Mine won’t even sit on a fake egg! Picky things.

Yes i remember that video hahaha

My gals pretty much sit on anything, or nothing.... Got three broodies and my other hens will lay eggs in their nests thus enabling them

Hi MJ! Hru?

Good thanks mate! Has there been much rain up your way?

Oh you will need to post pics of the babies when they hatch.

Our store turkeys are feral, and not bad at all… they just want snacks, and into the store, and if your car looks like another Tom to make sure you drive away and never come back!

Guess I need to cover the chrome on my truck then

I didn't get up to Letitia yesterday but it was the talk of the office that turkey is famous. The cop is also famous hahaha

 

[Ponypoor]

It is great! So many wonderful pictures and people who haven't been here for a while returning. So lovely.

And so many babies

Nothing broken, lots of scrapes and bruises though. The driver fled the scene but was being followed by a family member who knew/suspected he was drunk and was following to make sure nothing happened. He stopped and had his kid in the car, who was traumatised by what happened and because the driver wasn’t breathalysed at the time of the collision, the police couldn’t pin drink-driving on him.

They are great ornaments to the front steps

they hatched on 1 July - this is them @ 1 week (5 of them; the chipmunk and the crested each have a different mum). Juvenile plumage is coming through but it's not obvious what the adult plumage will be as yet.

Heavy rains overnight here, which will make the corn and mosquitoes happy hahaha.

I was up at 5am and couldn't believe someone was out in the bush behind my back paddock shooting! My horses are out there, and just what i don't need is my idiot Neighbours out poaching deer and Turkey and accidentally shooting my horses. It's barely light at 5am....

Checked the barn cams and the horses where just milling about outside the back of the barn, the chickies were ok still sleeping.

Guess I better get cracking do chores and get to work...
