Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

After all that, do you think the Maple Leafs will ever win?

Oilers won over Panthers last night
5-3



Well I have a bunch of grumpy creatures here this morning. First Truly and Lulu didn’t want to go outside, they hate the bugs and mosquitoes, and the heat and humidity.

Then the silkies were all grumpy and squabbling. Sheesh! I have Curly and her chicks, and Henny in the summer house, Marty didn’t want to go in there so I left her out with the gang in the main barn.

And this school chicks are breaking feee now, except the poor silkies - awwww!

Hi everyone. I will try and follow along but I won’t be on much.
Babs died unexpectedly yesterday and I am a bit of a mess.
I will post a tribute to beautiful Babs when I can look at pictures without crying.

I am so sorry.

Xzit is going to give me a heart attack! She’s a stubborn broody, but I say enough is enough!
I can’t leave her alone in the house. I can’t leave her in the coop without the cooler running.

And she screams at me if I stop rubbing her belly

When Widget goes broody, I set up a broody breaker crate. It's a small dog crate up on 2x4s so that she gets air circulation underneath her belly.

She has food, water, and a 2x4 to stand on. It usually takes 2-3 days for her to "get over it."

I was happy to see Whiskers ‘voluntarily’ get off her nest this morning.

Then noted she had returned to the nest the brat! Over 5 weeks now.

And Dorothy is still broody - those two are brats. The silkies go broody? Nope only Curly.
