Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Margarine made with olive oil. You can’t get it in the US as far as I can tell.

Why did you send me down that rabbit hole?

I’m gonna have to try that Becel butter.
0 cholesterol and my blood pressure might thank me for that. They call it “Promise” here in the states.

Oh really? I will let my mums friends know, they often bring it down to the States with them for the winter.

Mum always bought down 8 big tubs to last the winter when she was going to Yuma.

40 + years ago, I thought Barred Rocks were funny looking and couldn’t possibly be chickens, but today they are mostly what I have as pets!

Caturday Saturday

Missy has this fascination with water, and ends up leaving wet kitty footprints all over the tiles and wooden floor hahaha

And all over my car and on the porch, and kitty poop in my chooks run. And in their dust bath areas!

You k ow I am just happy she now has feathers, she was like Marty with a bald back, she was laying soft brittle eggs that she would then lay in and make her belly all soggy and cruddy, and was just horrible looking, I was never so happy to see her moult, I keep her butt trimmed up and I have been giving her calcium tablets to hopefully help with those brittle eggs. I haven’t see any in a while from her.

Marty also has been getting calcium - she is laying nice eggs now.

I’m glad that she an Marty are doing better. You take such good care of your chooks.
