Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Oh doesn’t she look like she is enjoying that snow

She loved snow. Sprinted out whenever it showed. Patsy and Lilly hated that about her. They did not want to come out into snow.

It’s not too bad today, about 27C (80.6F). Apparently it’s meant to get to 40-45C (104-113F) in the coming weeks. Not sure how I’m going to keep the girls cool!

Now that is a different problem for certain than what I am dealing with right now!

Play Sand is just sand, any of the other sands I see have concrete mixtures in them. There may be other types of sand / dirt / gravel…. I would read the label on the bag before buying.

I thought it was the other way round. I thought playsand had some kind of additive and it was construction sand that was needed.
My confusion on this is why I have never given them sand!

The last time it got that hot I made them a Coolgardie safe. I dug a big hole, tented two fence panels over it and covered it with hessian. Then I dripped water over the top and also put a tarp up to keep the sun off when it came around. They didn't stay in there, but hung around the entrance, still panting. I'm quite dreading it, actually.

I talked to a gal around here who takes a kiddie pool and puts a couple of inches of water in it (no deeper than the width of your palm) and adds a bunch of minnows to it. The chickens love eating the tiny fish, so go running through the water, cooling their feet. I haven't tried this...yet...

Sorry, I couldn't resist:

Pine Pellets @ TSC 1.5 years ago: $5.49
Pine Pellets @TSC today: $7.29

What is the percent increase (hint, you need to use the difference in prices)

Spoiler: Percent increase

32.8%

Fantastic photos!!
And yes, I know about the % increase, but my point is that it is still quite affordable! The same % increase on a case of fancy prescription cat food is not as easy to absorb.

I was afraid to look, but in my stocking this year I found…. NO COALS! Yay, that’s the first time in forever that I haven’t received any!
