Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Ok well no one wanted to drink water - even wild water - today.

But I have Buttercup snacking on some scratch grains, poor gal is molting and she doesn’t have any idea as to what’s happening poor thing.

And Mr P surveying his kingdom

There was a drop bear in my tree today and he dropped some macadamia nuts I've never tried these before they are so moreish

Mmmmm, I love dark chocolate covered macadamia nuts. But hardly ever get them any more. They were so much cheaper when I lived in Hawaii.

Chocolate tax. (Jasmine as a baby)

Do you have any boys within your flock? If so forget waiting a year. Next spring your girls may do the adding for you.

Nope, I won the sexed pullet lottery and got all girls.

You are calling Pompeii “mr. P” more often lately. Is there a reason for this?

Hello everyone! Been gone in hospital (planned surgery), everything okay, just been very out of it and not able to keep up here. I am so far behind, I hope everyone is all right and safe!

I can't get into the coop or close to the Buckeyes for some time still. But the run goes right along our driveway and I can go out there and talk to them and take a few pictures! The Arlo coop & run cams are working well, but I don't have an SD card yet to download pics or film to them & haven't figured out if there's storage on the cloud I can download.
Everybody today. Everyone is molting, and poor Popcorn has it the worst right now, but is not too naked. That's her in the back. They've just gone on an observational alert.

So great to her from you. I'm glad all went as planned.

You should get 30 days of free storage with Arlo. If you take a picture or video you can find them here.

You pick the day you took it on and they should show below. Then use the 3 dots to download the photo to your device.

These are from my phone but the web version is similar.

I think I'm going to need a tax payment for the gun talk.

Sorry, still learning the rules.

Gun talk tax (First look at my first chickens)

Might owe some tax there

And make it lots and lots of babiy pics

Good guess. I'm glad someone knows the rules. I'm looking at you folks.

Yes, I agree, I was in the same boat as you last fall. However, it is SOOO worth reading through everything. So many great stories and good information! (some heart-breaking ones, too , though.)

So you've eventually read through? Forgive me if you've declared this somewhere.
