Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I am 100% reading this to Brownie she still halfheartedly sits on eggs, I think this will push her over into laying again instead!!

Good cluck with that!

You have the best thirsty pictures!

Well I do have a thing about chickens drinking. I love watching it.

I have a thing for chickens feets. 4, toes or 5 doesn’t matter. I love the feathered ones too. I don’t like bumble foot, or scaly mites on the feet. I like trimmed toe nails and clean legs and foot pads ( not easy when they waddle around in the mud, to stay cool) but this is my little secret

Ya I hear ya. I saw Curly off the nest earlier, not sure about Henny, but Whiskers is stubborn and won’t leave the nest. I am betting it’s the darn cockerels- when I get back home they are all going - they are causing too much stress with my mum and the hens.

You forgot to mention both feet must be firmly planted on the ground!

Do you have dirty ducks that need to be cleaned? . I’m not sure if there is such a business that cleans up ducks.
I could just imagine how that conversation went! I would have loved to be involved in that one!

I too get those duct cleaning calls.

It goes like this:

‘Hello ma’am we are calling about duct cleaning’

Me: ‘duck cleaning?’

‘Yes ma’am duct cleaning’

Me: ‘do you do Indian Runners?’
(It was at that point in time I realized it might sound racist to the person on the other end who was obviously East Indian - but I went with it)

‘I beg you pardon ma’am?’

Me: ‘I have Indian Runners, and Muscovy, do you clean those also?’
(Quiet on the other end…)

‘Ma’am we do duct cleaning’

Me: ‘yes, but what type of ducks do you clean?’

‘Your house ducts ma’am’

Me: ‘house ducks ? I don’t keep ducks in the house, they crap everywhere, messy things. But if you can clean them then I won’t have to do it myself’

‘Yes ma’am we clean ducts, would you like to set up a date to clean have them cleaned?’

Me: ‘well if you think you can handle them, I don’t want anyone who isn’t used to handling ducks, they fly everywhere’

‘Ma’am, what flies everywhere?’

Me: ‘the ducks, nasty smelly things, crapping everywhere, they never shut up quacking… hello? Hello? Are you still there?’




Edit: I just want to point out that when one lives in the country and it’s winter and one is bored, then one must make their own fun I once had some poor guy believing I lived in a fly in community, had to hunt my own meat, chop my own wood, and melt snow for water.

Poor dude told me I needed to migrate to the city where life was easier at that point I told him ‘sorry buddy gotta go, got a moose hanging in the tree out there ready to butcher - and I hung up the phone. Most fun I had with a telemarketer for 30 min ever!

You forgot to mention both feet must be firmly planted on the ground!

That goes without saying!
