Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Surprisingly enough, my church is already working on the refrigeration problem. I wouldn’t doubt it if I got a new fridge free, in the next few days.

Can you save any of the food? Last time this happened to me I managed to save most of it with the help of other people with freezer space.

Not with my local neighbors. I’m busy right now cooking up the shrimp and the steak. And the frozen blueberries for my chooks have to go to them today. The strawberries also. What a disaster

Then again? I’m not sure about that

Everyone, the pastor just called me, and a new refrigerator will be delivered tomorrow morning! This is how we do things here in Central California.

The new refrigerator: just like that! Any of you guys want to come to paradise, come here and bring your chickens!

Excellent! So you should be able to save all the food. Freeze the stuff you cooked as meals for later.

Lots of rain here, amazing amount of rain. Then it turned to snow, but very little accumulation. Looked like there was a moat beyond the new French drain dug on the two wet sides of the run, but the drain worked well and the run litter is dry, the pavers and woodsy / decomposed wood chips soil I piled under the litter are just nicely damp. The trench did its job!

That is great to hear!!!

Finishing up Hen House ‘B’ I have 4 days off work and it’s supposed to be mild so finishing up that task will be my priority.

Supper on Christmas Day is at my place so my sister and her husband and my nieces will be here for supper. I am sure my BIL won’t be of any help in the barn as that day is the start of World junior hockey championship. He will likely plop his butt in a chair in front of the tv and watch that.

And you will all enjoy that brandy!

It would be nice if I had someone who could regularly watch my dog, who didn’t also cost an arm and a leg. We often end up at my in-law’s spontaneously and stay overnight (they’re not even too far, maybe a 40 min drive), but they relish having the grandkids sleep over.

My poor dog hates wearing clothes, but she has her special “garage coat” for those days (they do let her in the garage at least, which stays in the 40s/50s (above 5 C)).

The chickens and fish tanks fend for themselves on those days.

Tax: View attachment 3709543Quincy has enjoyed a four month break from egg laying, but recently her comb darkened up.
I’m also wildly curious to see if she will buddy up with Perry. I had read on one of Shadrach’s threads that chickens of the same breed/appearance tend to gravitate to one another… if so, then is the draw stronger than age and rank? We shall see!

Oh yeah, Quincy does look like Perry.
