Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Happy Pony Sunday.
Today my ‘pony’ is this little guy who snuck out of the undergrowth.
I don’t know if he is still alive because later in the day there was a lot of interest from the chickens in that general area.
The storm has passed and today is sunny, so hopefully things will dry out. So far I haven’t seen too much damage but I have not dared look in the basement and I haven’t gone to see if the road is blocked.
There is mud everywhere!

He’s a Gardner snake isn’t he? Does he want employment? I’m looking for good gardeners!

Hi Greg! Say hi to Lety - that sounds like a wonderful time with your grand daughter- tahts a good sized Bass! Did you throw it on the BBQ? So glad your friend is recovering well, and he gets 3 of your lovely pullets

Good morning Kelly. We didn't eat the bass, wanted to leave her as a breeder. For our next get together we plan on eating a few smaller ones in the 12 to 14 inch range. I was trying for a catfish to eat when I caught my big bass. Didn't figure a big bass would be laying on the bottom but I enjoyed catching her

He is (or maybe was) an Eastern garter snake. So unless you have issues with your socks falling down, I don’t think he will be much use to you.

Snake tax. Princesses out and about after the flood.

Sorry to hear you have been having a rough time if it. Hope you have turned the corner.

Thanks RC,

Currently fighting a UTI but I can feel the antibiotics working so I should be 100 percent soon.

I’m worried about going to church today. I have head congestion and my back is killing it! I’m usually pretty responsive to church. But I need a better excuse than feeling sick

Some amazing bass! Your bass is the biggest of them all!

Not a chick photo update, sorry! All six are doing well though One of them is leagues larger than the rest, so I’ve taken to calling him Coach.

Anyways I went up to toss kiddo/kitchen leftovers to the adult chooks. Rice & broccoli, hurray:View attachment 3780253

But I had saved the best for last, a real live stink bug caught inside the house! Those make for the best games of Keep Away. Alas, when I tossed it into the run it caught onto a log, and the little brat then froze in place so none of the hens even SAW it right above their heads View attachment 3780257
I wonder if it got away in the end.

Albert took the opportunity to check out escape possibilities through the Dutch door:View attachment 3780262

Nope. And it took fancy footwork to maneuver back around:
