Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

It is my understanding that it is a deterrent similar to OFF but I have found it works better then deet based products in my area.

I spray it on my clothes and exposed skin right before I go out, the effect only lasts for like 4 hrs or so since it is a sent based deterrent, as far as I know that is.

I don’t think it kills them I wish it did. Not much kills ticks. Fun fact: ticks can live for a year or more with no food source at all. I mean thats weird right?

Hmm. The bottle says it stays active for a month or five washes. I need to read it again.

Well at least when she thinks “I can fly” she actually can!

Maybe some of that stuff is in order for Abigail. That way she will be a pigeon in soul but not body.

All caught up for now.

Repost Tina photo. She was inside again for a private feeding with rice+egg+sardine, but she'd rather eat normal feed...

she did make super exciting sound upon seeing live mealworm though.

Thank you @ManueB for the awesome synopsis.

I hope everyone is enjoying your weekend.

Such beauties

Is there a reason that you need a male silkie? If you love Rico and he is a good boy, why not keep him?

I was hoping for a smaller Roo for my silkie girls, so they don’t get mobbed and over bred.

But it’s not written in stone.

@BY Bob I thought you would like to see this:
This is Empress Josephine. Today, I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. I walked into my area, carrying the sandwich, which had not been folded. I was sitting, about to eat it, and she jumped up and hit the plate, causing the sandwich to fall. Josey also fell with it. The sandwich gave her a nice smack and got on her feathers. I ended up eating it but was mobbed by ravenous chickens. They wanted that sandwich. I gave them the scraps on my plate.
The bottom photo is her trying to get the jelly off of her feathers.

Read that again and had to give it a laugh icon

I dropped two pieces of Kit Kat chocolate bar on the office floor, I checked to see if it landed in poop, nope! All good, and 5 second rule - it tasted good

You sure that didn't land in poo? Maybe it added some extra flavor.
Thankfully your chooks did not eat it.

Oh thank goodness I did not come home with them. See how the universe likes to mess with me, I was drawn to the lighter striped ones and would have chosen them. I do not know when, but one day when I do not have as many neighbors I will have a rooster refuge. No hens, all boys and as many boys as I want. I will not be going back anytime soon to either Rural King or Tractor Supply. Raven is due to hatch next Sunday. Now, thanks to another egg breaking she is down to 10 eggs. IF she has a poor hatch, or none hatch well, Raven deserves chicks is all I can say.

Yep if she has only 5 or 6 then you can get some pullets from TSC the darker ones

I would be afraid to run over their feet. They like to go right by the wheels on my chair.
