Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

In honor of pony Sunday, a new arrival.

I haven't seen this little one before.

I’m interested just how old these birds are. ???

When were you in DC for the missing person search? They arrived then.

I was away for a bit and I came on here and heard about Jaffar. Oi, this is just terrible. He has lived a good life and Alex really took good care of him. If Alex sees this (he did say he was going to take a break), I want to say that he has been a really good owner to Jaffar. From car trips to movies in bed, no wonder that roo was having a good time. Never, ever blame yourself for a pet's death. I remember Alex would talk about Jaffar non stop. Goodbye, Jaffar. You were the mascot of the roost, and no other roo can be like you. You can't be replaced by any other roo. I'll read Alex's past posts about Jaffar and think "That was a good time."
I'll post something to brighten up everyone's mood later.

You can also try horse fly spray, I use that for lice now. Works great!

Can’t get powder here, but can get the horse spray.

Rerouting the condensate drain for the hvac to the flower bed made a huge difference. I love roses

Dynamic- dyna....for Aero's bestie

I moved the brooder plate around and extended it with a board thinking they would spread out more.

Nope they are all try I guess to cram onto the top of the broody! And yea the wee bantams are in there somewhere - well that’s Chicken in the front there.

Such a size difference isn’t it! The big chicks are 5 weeks today and the wee bantams 2 weeks.

I was hoping that lil Wyandotte was going to be an easy lap chicken. But he isn’t cooperating.
However, lil Blue has a permanent spot on my chest, and she knows it. They gobbled up that ear of corn, in five minutes.

I’m figuring that my little ones are 4 1/2 weeks old the two EE’s a few days younger.

Tassels is on day 19 and now I can’t get her to stay off the nest to eat even a little bit.
So, because I am an absurd softy, I delivered her choice from the room service menu. I was happy to see she did eat some of it.
After day 21 she gets broody jail with masses of yummy food.
I will weigh her tomorrow to see how much weight she has lost.

I have Curly and Whiskers broody - seeing as how my niece is totally uncooperative regarding the silkie chicks coming here when they hatch (she could keep the blue egg chicks), I will split the Majesty Marans chicks I have arriving on Wednesday - give 2 to Whiskers and 1 to Curly.

AND my niece can keep all the chicks she is hatching, and she can darn well find homes for them. I am done with doing all the dirty work. Next year I am not giving her eggs at all.

Ok my rant is over.
