Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Goldie just bit my lip. The last time she tried to eat my face was back when she was 10 weeks old. Reverting to old habits

What a lovely stretch of weather we have had, hot days, cool nights.

I managed to get the horses’ rain sheets washed and waterproofed. View attachment 3949559

Mr P is pretty much back to his old self, and is back to chasing Mr LC I am glad to see.

Beautiful greenery. The trees had to be cleared out to make pasture? Those pines in the rear are thick! Good to see Mr P chipper!

Yep, I would take him in a heartbeat and have two polish roosters if I was closer. He's stunning

I would consider bringing him to Michigan. I have a daughter in Detroit.

Mineral Sunday

as promised....

Last weekend Mrs. BY Bob and I took a vacation to New England. We stopped off in the Maine mineral museum. Mrs BY Bob is obsessed with gem stones and they mine a lot of them in Maine. Little did we know that the museum has the largest collection of meteorites in the world.

You can even touch them.

And MARS...

That fell to earth as meteors.

It was amazing to hold pieces of MARS and the moon and totally unexpected. I recommend that if you ever find yourself in the area that you go to the museum. Amazing!

I was smiling & a chicken pecked at my pearly whites! Just curious little peckers!!!

Mine used to do that all the time. I was talking to Prudy (ironically telling her to stop looking like she wants to eat my face) so that is probably what Goldie was actually going for but got my lip instead

Many is the time I wasn't thinking when a chicken pecked my eyeglasses. Glad I wear glasses ~ cheap reading bifocals but enough to protect my eyes when I'm forgetting to be careful around the birds. My old Dominique "Dana" stares straight into my face but never pecks ~ I think her reflection in my glasses mesmerizes her.

Funny story for everyone!

I was holding my RIR and she leaned over and yanked my earing out of my ear... Does anyone know if she wi be ok lol? Im not really concerned, but just checking lol! Interested in others earing swallowing story

Chickens swallow a lot of weird stuff. What kind of eating was it? What was it made of?

Yes they do! It was a pearl, silver earing. It was like a huge gulp and poof it was gone. Today she was fine, her crop emptied in the morning as it should, however no earing soo-
