Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

Yep.
And if it lays eggs, it's definitely a chicken.

Tell that to the ducks, geese, turkeys, and guineas.....

Big breath. We are here!
I don’t really have much useful advice except to stay calm and don’t let yourself get drawn in.
And a big word of encouragement - this stuff gets better. I dunno why young girls have to be so mean to each other. But is older ladies tend to be really kind and supportive to each other.

Esp us older chicken ladies

Can rats fit through a 1" opening?

I have the crate in the super stall, and was going to leave it there if possible...

Dunno, but new chicks can...

 

[Ponypoor]

It was 31F out and the ground got warmed enough its melting from underneath.

It was +31 C on my friend be home with the chicks

 

[Ponypoor]

I would think so. They have asked me to play basketball with them. I never cared enough to put effort into it.
One of those friends told me that chickens have no personality, "kinda dumb", but ducks are smart. I just told him that my chickens have a personality, that they're smart, and left it at that. (He was also surprised when I showed him my Galaxy instead of my iPhone. )

So work is getting remodeled....and is getting more snow than home....they dug a big hole, and poured concrete for the foundation today...

Yes, they poured the concrete after I took the pic.

Stopped to get the mail and caught this

Got parked, headed inside, then the welcoming committee headed out

(Quite the difference from this morning)

Gaby wants to know if this satisfies this thread's hunger for tax photos. View attachment 3465934

She's not a barred rock. She's a Dominique.

I have had the worst day. My 13 year old dog that I have literally known the day my parents brought me home. Just died. I got picked up early from school, and I knew right when my name was called on the speaker. I am either gonna be on here constantly to try and forget, or I am not going to be here for a while. I will probably be on here a lot. I never said goodbye, because I didn't know that he was going to pass. It feels like there is a hole in my heart. I hate it when dogs die. I wish they could live forever

You are having a tough day.

Sorry about you pup, I am sure he knew how you felt about him. Dogs are great I had a couple myself.

Visit with your chooks and Guineas they will help you feel a wee bit better.

Eggs are set! Day 1 and so it begins.

The kids told them that they loved them and wished them good luck growing, I melted cause its sweet and laughed my butt off at the same time.

Here are some pictures of the eggs in their cups and yes the Govee does show a low temp and humidity reading but its just because I had just closed the lid.

And a few pics of what they could become fingers crossed

Oh I can't wait to see what you get from them
