Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I know that. My brain fails to function properly at times. I have no idea why.

Ah, old age creeping up on you!

Expedition today down to more promising digging near the old well, it's been so dry here, but still damp down there.

Peanut, Butters and Hazel. That's a clump of narcissus blooming near them, and ajuga in the grass about to bloom.

Peanut. She swiped those leaves twice, maybe hoping something might fall or run out of it?

Popcorn, she's a strong digger

All seriousness aside, look at these little ones from next door, View attachment 3510060invading my yard and coop. They are eating all the scratch and safflower seeds my birds left on the ground. They are near the coop door

Like I said - they are now yours!

We need to make them stay with you all the time now. Fix the hole before they escape - quick!

 

[Ponypoor]

Busted! They are running away. View attachment 3510067

Drats! You weren’t fast enough!

He is such a handsome fella, yep my silkie Marty is one of my noisiest hens and the smallest ha!

Good thing these two are far apart, lol

 

[Ponypoor]

All you kids out there, you can’t always trust what mom says. Here, View attachment 3510077she’s telling her kids that stealing from the neighbors yard is fine!

That is one fine looking hen and babies, I am betting your neighbour wouldn’t even notice if they went missing!

 

[Ponypoor]

Philomena and Beetov-hen? I would guess they are fine. They were running around happily. It is hard to tell who is who when there are 23 chicks running around.

No the one with the blue comb and the one with the rattly breathing.

No the one with the blue comb and the one with the rattly breathing.

They're doing fine. I think Agathae was stressed. My siblings keep handling her and nobody cares to stop them. I cannot stop them either. Abigail is doing well. I think it is the heat. She only honked a few times today.

 

[Ponypoor]

Pooped, and my back is aching now, riding on a bumpy lawn tractor for 2.5 hrs is hard on the body.

But I managed to sit on n my butt for and hr and enjoy the nicer weather today afterwards. The chooks were happy that I cut the grass they can see the bugs better

Penelope and I sun bathed a bit

And Martina was running around with her siblings practicing their escape antics, they can just fit through the holes in that electric netting I have (no it’s not powered).

And then there were 22.
Thank you all for your help in trying to save my chick. But she is gone now. R.I.P little chicken
We are down to 15 chicks. This makes me sad.
