Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

No use having a clean car . Dust is on everything, and I need to seal up the house (close windows, hang sheets over the intake fans, cover anything that I don’t want to have dust on) they shake the trees usually 2 days. And so starts my respiratory problems!!!

Can you get a humidifier set up somehow in their coop. Leaving water in various places catches dust.

This came about after I had two daughters born in 1993, Angela in January and Kathy on 1 December. Glad I stopped at 2 cause they bout had me in the looney bin when they were in high school.

Ok horse people out there, I have a mare who is freaking me out. She won’t lay down to sleep, and she is very sleep deprived. She has fallen in the stall a couple times. I have given her pain meds for over a month at one point to try to get her to lay down and sleep. Didn’t help. She has no issue getting down and up, in fact rolls fine in the mud . I tried leaving her out at night, but all she did was walk in circles around the manure pile - she dragged her feet so much she was so exhausted, she squared the toes off! And caused my thoroughbred mare to follow her round and round and round, both lost weight!

So back in the barn both came at night.

Last night she fell again. I am at my wits end. Any ideas?

Not sure why everyone thinks babies are hard, it’s the teens that cause you grief!!! But having them together you get all the crazy time out of the way all at once haha

More tax

I am being invaded, I gave them almost the whole front of the barn to roam but were do they want to hang out? With me!

She loves to be picked up and held like an infant. I'll carry her around and tell her how pretty and smart she is while I rub her belly ❤

Oh so she is a princess then I miss having a dog around but not practical with me being away so much.

 

[Ponypoor]

Didn’t know that they do that.

There is such an issue with migratory birds at Pearson Airport they have a full time falconer to scare away birds. They also have a trap that humanely catches song birds so they can be released away from the airport.

This might be worth a try!

It really too bad you can’t geld them like horses. Makes such a big difference!

You can...kinda....caponization requires a bit if surgery and they wind up growing to something like 20 pounds. Dunno what age it has to be done at, and I need the reproduction ability in case of predation.

Bout damn time. Those freeloaders !

Between them and the chickens pooping on my bricks the floor is disgusting!! I keep a pile of shavings under the swallow nests - wish I could train the chickens to poop on a pile of shavings!! Hahaha
