Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

When all that dries up, you're going to have to put a wading pool in for them!

Already on it….. sister and BIL sold house (guess where they are moving in to….)

BIL will be busy hahahaha I have a HUGE hunny-do list - and he isn’t even my Honey!

Buffalo gnat, also called black fly, turkey gnat, white socks -- all Simuliidae Family -- all the same dastardly pest/killer! And their larvae are so disgusting to see!

They are famous here we even have a song about them.

They don’t bother the chickens but they terrorize the poor horses.

Be safe! We have a freeze warning here - frost warning. I hope my silkies will be ok I have the back window open in the barn for the pony who is too warm - but maybe tonight I will close the window.

If someone was to ask me a year ago, what I would be doing today, I certainly wouldn’t have answered “laying on my couch covered in chicken poop !” But here I am!

...killin' it!

Alex, I mean this in the best way... not every man I know can make being covered in chicken poop sound like an accomplishment!

As I giggle sitting here smelling like a horse barn I’m my barn clothes

Speaking of which I better go do chores and say good night to the new kiddos.

There is some strong enabling in this thread...
I'm resistant to hatching/buying more chicks. Plus, I already am looking at a possible 2 roos in my chick flock... can't have 4 roos, not enough hens for that.

Lol! You’re resistant Going through two waves of chicks already this Spring gave you some immunity

I suggest a Polish Roo - Mr P is a darling very quiet with the ladies. And doesn’t flog me like some Roos who shall remain unnamed - right Teddy?!

Silkies are not always sweet and gentle. I can only imagine what the offspring of him and Marty will be like!

I do like the look of Polish Roos. I have to consider my tiny toddler too. She had a well child visit on Monday, her official diagnosis is "small!" She is super tiny haha.
Hubby is being very open minded about the whole chicken thing. He's absolutely the "dad with the pet he didn't want" type of guy haha.

We have a freeze warning tonight, I went and plugged their water heater in before dinner.
