Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Ok back in my lawn chair…. Brats all ran behind the barn to Mount Poopmore. I chased them back out front and they are half way to the house now

As I was saying to have them out today, Mr P is feeling frisky, and the ladies are enjoying digging up wormies.

Sad news.

My beautiful white Chantecler rooster, Snowbird, has died. I don't know what happened.

Rest in peace, buddy. Fly high and free.

I will bury him in the garden tomorrow.

I’m so sorry. He was super cute. He was lucky to have you as his owner. Fly high pretty boy.

I'm really curious...

What does everyone feed (commercial feed), and how clean are your chickens' butts? Are they laying?

Once my pullets started laying, the clean floof went bye-bye.

I feed Kalmbach 20% Flock Maker. Some butts are cleaner than others.

Mine stay relatively clean. Every once in a while we need to clean them. It doesn't feel unreasonable to me.

When I bathe BBQ today should I just wash her with water, or should I scrub her with dawn dish soap? I’m probably not going to be able to bathe any part of her but her feet today because my dad likely won’t let me. For later in the week, if that’s the case, should I just use water or should I use soap?

Crazy day...

I happened upon a serious motor vehicle accident here at Peavey Mart, I was one of first on scene, so I went and assisted one of the drivers, he was in bad form

I stabilized his neck and hugged, comforted and talked with him till emergency medics arrived. He for sure had a compound fracture on left leg above knee.

Once medics arrived I left to get my feed, seems though my truck won't start. I parked it off to the side when I went to assist accident, when I went to move truck it wouldn't start.

So I am here in the store waiting for CAA ( AAA) to come and help me get it started or moved, I tried boosting it with one of the guys, but it wouldn't start.

Now someone told me the driver has died

Sad day if so, I know his name so I will check into this.

How awful. Thank you for stopping to help. It's hard. Mrs BY Bob and I have stopped at too many accidents. You never know what you will find and what the outcome will be. At least he had your comfort in his time of need.

If you must use soap we use dawn dishwashing soap. It's pretty mild and gets the job done.

Bolt laid down in her bath so she’s gonna get blow dried.

If I was actually there, I’d be giving you a back massage right in your lawn chair. Just up until the time Mr. P decides to attack me.
