Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

If it wasn't for my over active imagination thinking a rat can kill my silkies I would let them roost on the floor!

I am not opposed to more nest boxes - we have to clean the roosts daily anyways. And the boxes that are used by whoever wants to at night...

Don’t give rodents any room!

Horror stories about rats and mice nibbling on pets (use your imagination)
I keep feral cats around for rodent control, but I still find them around sometimes.

I can't believe the cheek of them in broad daylight running around! I am surprised that Buttercup hasn't killed any of them!

Maybe she has! And I don't know about it!

Maybe they are coexisting with the chickens. Rodents are good con artists and can manipulate innocent animals !

Those 3 hens remind me of Tony. She is still going through a molt right now but her feathers are going back. I'll try and get a photo later today.

Doesn’t he look scary grumpy sometimes? But he is actually such a good Roo!

I tried to tie up his head floof but the ponytail hold kept slipping off

My friend wasn't having a funny on me again she is ill I feel bad about not knowing that. She ordered the rechargeable dehumidifiers and I made one out of the pine wood pellets and salt last night, the coop seems much better.

I have to clean the run again it's got so wet with all this heavy rain we have had


The fog is not as bad in this picture

Ice fog is no joke. I've been caught out walking on a mountain top in an ice fog. Scary situation.

Ice fog tax
