Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I hope that she practices bio security with that boyfriend. He sounds like a real virus

He is a true gentleman very nice farm boy.

Her first husband was a jerk, treated her poorly. She was well rid of him.

She is a hard working girl, farrier work is hard work, and she is not a big girl. I make sure to tell her to not deal with bad horses - it’s not worth the risk.

Ruth the little pecker pecked my headlamp on my forehead! What a brat!

And that is exactly what I did this afternoon (minus the horses - there were deer instead) until it started raining and I got soaked.

Nice

Rained all day here it’s now officially all flooded here, the chooks went out got soaked and I made them come back inside - I dried poor old Red and Blanche. Calling for snow tomorrow night! Crazy weather

Looks like Larry laid another nice egg. I just might throw a couple of her eggs in the incubator with the silkies.

On an added note: I have the silver coin ready for the ferryman

For whom is that ‘silver coin’ for?

I invented a new swear word last spring. Totally safe to use around kids, chicks, impressionable hens and roosters, horses, anyone.

Soup line. SOUP LINE!!!!!

Vietnamese soup, pho, is pronounced, "fu."

A line is a que.

Sounds French to me…..

I found my perfect tv channel online. 24 hours of Green Acres on one channel!
Live it, love it. I dislike having chicken poop under my fingernails all the time!
Maybe after the apocalypse, we could start a new postal service right here in my flea spit town. I can hope!

Ooooo I haven’t seen that in a long time!

So I was taking Fez’ photo, which she liked.
When someone accidentally walked between her and the camera.

Which she did NOT! So Albert got told, right into the fencing

Speaking of bullying- things seem to have gotten worse for Perry. Whiskey has turned up the heat; and is incidentally also making growling noises when on the nest, and has a bald spot on her chest. Broody signs, but I didn’t expect her, of all hens, to go broody. I hope she snaps out of it soon, for poor Perry’s sake! If she actually sits on the nest (the missing symptom), I’ll make moves to break her right away.
I gave everyone some good free range time today to raise the moral.

Squawkdit?

New one for me! Good thing I now have high speed unlimited internet here in the boonies! I bet that’s why my bandwidth was slow last night- they were all on this new fangled Squawkdit!

Hey Sue! Ya you!

I had to delay my hatching escapade but was able to set some eggs a week later. So it was hatch day today for ONE chick yup thats right my fertilization rate is not good at all! Sighh, I will have to trim some vent feathers I think.
I did realize the issue when I candled the eggs on day 7 so I set some more but this poor chick that hatched today will be all by itself till the second batch hatches.
I have one jubilee that was coming along nicely and some blue eggs (peanuts) that I cant see into very well. I will candle them again as soon as this hatched chick dries out.

Hatching pic, it’s out now and drying off. More pics to come in the morning when I move it into the temporary brooder tote.

Missing person. I thought my career ended, but obviously not. I’m flying to Virginia Beach. And hopefully help this family find their daughter: Caucasian age 24 sandy blonde hair 5’4” approx. 130 lbs. last seen at her college. I was asked by a personal friend to come. I’m not sure what I’m getting into here, but I will definitely try my hardest to find her.
