Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I had to go back and look at the add to check. Yes I saved it, why did I save it? She is 14.3 hands. Dirt is actually between 14.3 and 15 hands himself, we have not officially measured him in awhile as he has had a few growth spurts and finding level ground is impossible. That is also actually what you will find most KY and Rockies to be. 16 hands is frowned on. These are NOT my pictures, I pulled them off the add. I also love the fact that while she is chocolate, she is not a silver chocolate which would have the white mane and tail.

You all have seen my horses, with the exception of Louis they are built like this, I love that build.

She is very handsome! I see why you are having an issue.

I know I owe horse tax. Before I get called out here it is. It is also BY Bob's favorite kind of shot.

Great strategy! I like it.

Oh that gorgeous old stove! We were planning something much bigger originally, now it’s a “what can we get before winter?” situation… assuming I get that pesky roof done in time!

Mrs BY Bob is going to love this photo. They are another of her favorites.

You are doomed if you don't do something.

I think I am doomed for this season anyway. I will harvest a bowl full today before dark and ripen them indoors.
I am thinking a slippy wrap for the trunk - I could use my roll of aluminum flashing, wrap it round each trunk and coat with cooking oil so it is like a big slide.

Tax: the preening party was interrupted by noise outside. They were very curious. “What was that? Do you hear what I hear?”

How many people who ride at your place? Maybe you need another mount....

Chicken Math, Goat Math, Horse Math!!! And I’m the one with the “enabler” tag??? Really BYC?

Note: this is usually how the acquisition process occurs… the only real question is can you afford “just one more”, as you’re already essentially sold on her, and it shows just a tiny bit!

Scince the baby chick adventure started I have tried not to mess with the chicks unnecessarily. I picked them up to move them to the new brooder and when the three got hurt but thats it. Mostly I have just had fun watching them. Today my patience paid off. My Amerucana flew up on my arm today and refused to get down and instead settled down and just sat with me for a good 10 minutes. So cool and so sweet!

I really like this idea (and love the architectural blueprint provided).
Here is the tree. I am still struggling!

This makes sense… that low big branch is bound to cause issues! How good are said critters at jumping? You may need to do two cones.

Small electric fence would work too.

Awww. Isn't that the best?!
