Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Caturday? how about this one:

 

[Ponypoor]

Roo's are practically banned everywhere in L.A. or OC . When we rehomed our accidental cockerels we had to go to Riverside County and Nevada to re-home. I mean, it's not impossible in some places to have a roo but places around here get saturated w/surplus and most roo's get dispatched. There was a place in Whittier that processed people's Cornish X's and surplus roo's but that was never an option for us!

I have a similar issue, we can have Roos but no one wants Roos! And there is no place nearby to process them.

My farrier’s hubby can (and does) process his own meat birds so I guess if I can’t find a home for Bert at least I can get him humanely killed and give him a burial with Larry and baby chick.

Today I kept Bert locked in the summer house so I could do all the mowing without worrying about him and Mr P getting into it through the fencing. That’s no life for him.

Please be a girl...I could try figuring out something if this one's a boy though...I estimate the age at 5-6 weeks old. The farm store marks them down to $1 after a week and 50cents after two, got these midweek from the 50 cent bin...
Next try is to catch my golden sebright. I need to feel the comb to figure out if it is growing.

Such a cutie pie, I’ll make a wish for a girl for you

Chicks here don’t last long enough to mark down! And that’s a good thing! Hahaha otherwise I’d be in big trouble!

A CATUR-DAY from the last century:

This Calico is "Shirley Temple" cuz she was such a cute faced kitten and turned out to be a terrific gopher catcher! On the farm we didn't deal with tiny field mice or rats! We grew the BIG stuff like gophers, snakes, and squirrels!

I just want to put it out there that I have been trying to rehome Bert, but all I get are morons wanting to ‘I’ll come now and get him’. Well I know they will get him, and throw him in with a bunch of strange Roos before killing him. I will not put him through that. He has had a great life here and he will not go some place where he will be treated like trash.

If he cannot find a nice forever home I will make sure he doesn’t suffer at the hands of some moron.

It’s on my wish list

Zero-turn, 54” cutting deck…. Yep I want one!

Need a new lawn tractor tax
Curly’s babies are almost as big as she is!

Haven’t shown Curly and her kiddos in a bit.

I probably won't be on here tomorrow to post this, but the neighbor got two horses. He lives out of town, so I am going to be looking after them temporarily. The black one is a mare (Beauty) and the pinto is male and is called Juice. Don't tell me why he's called that, but my guess is that (since he is a pony) the neighbor got him for his kids to ride, and they named him Juice. (What an odd name, but I name my chickens weirder things.)

Do not blame the kids for the name Juice. My mother named Dirt. Rosie and my dad were thinking along the lines of Dusty. Nope, everyone and their parents had a horse named Dusty. Have you ever heard of a horse named Dirt? No, well now you have. I was not a fan at first, but it grew on me.
