Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Josey sure puts up a good front!

She sure does! Quite annoying at some times. The Dominiques walked all the way in to get some and went to the tanks.

All in at perching time. Yea I had to chase Bobo and Coco into the coop, but that’s normal for those two troublemakers. Now I’m off to the jacuzzi tub to relax this old decrepit body of mine.

I was thinking of trying it on Truly, but worried about drowsiness, horses and drowsy don’t mix. Does it cause drowsiness?

Not that I saw.

Josey just won't give up. After who knows how many mealworms Josey just keeps staring. @BY Bob said Leghorns are friendly. Mine is as well. It wants more food.

They are never full. There are not enough mealworms in the world that they could not eat 1 more.

Dominica was so hopeful once she kept looking at me for more mealworms.

Clean out done. 8x9 feet x 1-2 feet deep.View attachment 3488437We're pooped. (Pun intended)

Great job, what a massive job too!

Found a mouse hiding under the edge of the foundation, so not putting fresh bedding in just yet. Gonna give them time to find the little devil or it to decide to vacate the premises.

What about their feet when they jump and fly down from their roosts? Is it dirt or cement? I guess you've done this before though, with no problems?

Almost all day she stared at me instead of free ranging. She just wanted more food and figured I could be trusted to not eat her for dinner. She still jumps back when I try to touch her, but she walks inside to eat her worms now. The Dominiqes figured out where the worm colonies are and walk over to them. They actually almost walked into a pile of stuff and the main house. I had to remove them before my Nana caught a glimpse. Disaster would have ensued if she had seen them inside (I hide behind a wall of my stuff and let them in. They should get air conditioning as well.)

Grandma just finished up doing a 50 state embroidered flower quilt in blue for my brother. It is pretty and I love it. I was actually slightly jealous. Not anymore, Look what I found. 50 state bird one finished and ready to send to the quilter. I would have fought them all over this one. The rest of the tops are beautiful, but this one has my name written all over it.

Beautiful and fascinating quilt! I love story crafts like that. Nice to learn a bit about your Grandma's strengths and skills also.

Dirt. No harder than when they fly out of the big door for breakfast. Launch from the roosts or the top of the nest boxes, out the door, landing on someone who moved in to become the landing pad....
