Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Phyllis has a professional photo shoot scheduled for Saturday so she cannot be bothered with posing for a pedestrian amateur photo.

I think Phyllis is getting too big for her pantaloons!

So I'm here today to give one of the saddest announcements to everyone here and to all my friends I've made on this thread and to everyone on this website. This pains me more than anything I've ever had to deal with, but after a long and painful amount of arguing with my mom we've decided to sell off most of my beloved hens and roosters... My mom has said that she is and I quote:



So I can only now have five hens and one rooster. I'm so sad and through this arguing and plan making I'm crying at just even the thought of selling me loved hens. I love them so much and they all feel like family and now I must say goodbye to most of them.

I'm now deciding who will stay with my flock and who will go and these are some of the hardest things I've had to do. I know for a fact I will be keeping Susan and Eda, but I don't know who else. I'm Aldo trying to decide between my two beloved boys Buff Buck and Darcy.

We are planning on using the money from selling them to get a metal horse trailer and that way we will solve the biggest problem, the wood mites that have absolutely invaded our flock and wooden coop! I'm saying this to mainly you all because I don't really have many other people who like or want to talk about chickens.

I'm sorry to hear you have to part with many of your beloved chickens. It does sound like the trailer will help with your wooden coop problem - but it is definitely a emotionally very hard way to arrive at the money to solve the coop problem.

On the other hand - a positive way of looking at it might be that the others are sacrificing their love of you for the good of the flock. (sorry, I tried to put a positive spin on it.... )

So me and my mom have found a solution! I will be selling most ofy flock but we will be replacing some other mixed breed hens will two silkies!!! Sense they are so small I can keep them with the hens I'm keeping. I'm going to get a Nestera coop that will fit about 6-7 medium sized chickens so my flock will have plenty of room!!! I actually was planning on getting two silkies before the whole selling of the flock this do it kinda just worked! Here are my new two silkie hens Ceep & Peep. I've also decided who will be staying!

Susan
Eda
Cheep & Peep
Rayla

I went outside to distribute some meally worms, but I was wearing slippers, and Jaffar doesn’t like my slippers. He bit me hard right on a blood vessel and it hurt like crazy! (Right at that uncomfortable shoe line) try that again little man!

Thank you, although I have to make some hard decisions I I will be getting a Nesera coop that is mite proof and it hold up to 6-7 medium breeds!!!

Yeah, a large one for up to 8 chickens is about 700$ without a run but with wheels. In my opinion I think horse trailer coop is better cheaper for the space and mobility, but my mom doesn't want something that big to clean. Even though I'm pretty much the only one who cleans the coop. She also isn't sure if we'd be taxed for having one. She also really only helps me when we do huge deep cleans!

Hmm that's pretty pricy; well hopefully you can get something that will be helpful for your situation

Princess has this stuff stuck and is making gurgling noises. Anyone here can you help please???
