Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Some of those are actually needed trace elements! The rest, well they are in everything, just about.

A big reason why I now feed organic to my chickens...I try to give them healthy stuff........I do want them to live a long life (well, if I don't send them to freezer camp, that is.) Too many non-organic have trace residues of Roundup in them. I switched to all organic a few years ago after reading a few studies that were kinda scary!

Remember Crop Girl will be 5 this spring:. I know that isn't old for many of you, nor for how long chickens can/should live.....but I haven't had a chicken live much longer...my sweet Rosie died @5.5 years old, and my two favorite of all time roos died within 2 weeks of each other at just over 5 years old (Randy & Knight, BR & DC - hatchmates!) It probably doesn't help that I only let a few get beyond 2.5 years.....so my percentages are off anyways.

Firm, immovable, and albeit clumsy as it is my first shot.

Do you have any idea what happened?

Tina is laying eggs again. It's strange this time of year but at least she's not still ill

Someone is giving me an egg a day, it’s a pink egg so one of the silkies. Likely Marty

I'm waking up earlier these days. At least I'll get more done today. I can't wait for my neighbour to go to work so I can hoover

Ya I need to do that here, get the dust bunnies all sucked up

And need to do a good barn cleaning too….

But first I need to do some ‘work’ work!

So glad my chooks are happy and healthy. Now if they would just start surprising me with eggs. Boy they love that corn mash.

I mentioned yesterday that I would trade my earthquakes for blizzards any time.
California had one today at 02:45 pst.
6.5 magnitude

I didn’t feel anything. Jaffar slept through it.

We had an earthquake a couple of years ago here in NC. Boy I felt that the whole house shook. Scared me to death.

Hi beautiful rooster. Do you think you can teach my Hades to be cuddly like you?
