Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Desertvalleychickens]

I’ll send you my snow….

I know, I know you get blizzards that accumulate snow to like 6 feet tall, but here we only get inches!

Okay, should I complain or just laugh? Yesterday I killed a colony of those tiny red ants near the coop.
Today I get in my car, (I had left 2 cookies from yesterday) in the center console, and found a thousand ants crawling around in my car, on the seats and all over the cookies. Tiny ants all over me before I noticed the cookies were in there.

Oh no! So that's where they all went. I didn't see any in the tanks yesterday.

Roo update

Well the youngsters are all gone, a gentleman came and took all 5, his 13 yr old boy is chicken mad, and they wanted a couple Roos with their hens, and their neighbour wanted a couple Roos.

So it seems the boys went to new homes with some new ladies.

I am very relieved that they went to a (hopefully) good home.

I was complaining about ants. But I’m glad that they weren’t spiders View attachment 3645212

There isn’t a spider or bug within 2’ of the ground in my barn the chooks have taken care of them! Yumm!

Coco will peck me very lightly on my cheeks, like kisses But she won’t ever peck me hard or bite me. She’s a lady for sure

Where’s Mr. P?

Ok well, the only male here now is Mr P. The issue with poor Marty missing and found hiding away sealed all their fates. And after seeing how everyone was enjoying themselves out and about the past 2 days with the boys safe in their pen affirmed my decision.

The silkies are just too small to have to deal with rowdy boys. It would be different if it were just the big girls. I would have kept Penne.

But I am glad they are with hens their size.

Here are the gang at this point:
Mr P
Fluffy
Curly
Henny Penny
Marty
Buttercup
Misty
Whiskers
Rose
Dorothy
Blanche
Penelope
Sophia
Tippy
Eli-too
Petunia
Butterscotch
Muffy
Babe
Ruth
Sue
Cash
Red
Sharpie
Larry
Raven
Topsy
Flopsy
Twister



Chicken math is a hard thing!

I am very happy for you and them , the best outcome one could hope for. You have no choice but to do what best for group as whole. It is hard though

@RoyalChick , you were right.

The flytrap got all the fruit flies, but not a single housefly, even outside!
