Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Excellent!

Our first little coop in 2011 for two little Silkies had chicken wire walls on the run. We learned things the hard way at first. The first hard Santa Ana Winds storm we were lucky we had a tarp in the garage to wrap around the coop run to keep out dust & debris. We went thru a lot of tarps to use as wind/rain shields.

For 4 years we kept adding/modifying/improving the coop until finally when we remodeled the yard it was planned w/ chicken friendly builds & a brand new sturdier coop. It was still another 7 years of landscaping/adding/redoing the patios & yard for the chickens ~ & we did it all for only 5 hens. Crazy to build a whole backyard for only 5 hens. We're zoned for 5 but currently have 6 birds ~ but Silkies only count as 1/2 a bird, right?

According to HRH Queen Aurora, silkies are NOT chickens.

Thus, as such, you are permitted as many as you wish.

Taxes here too.View attachment 3990603And it works as a SHRA if necessary as there's multiple birds in it

That is a Marvellous photo! You need to post it somewhere

That is so sweet. I have revised it several times. A little more cleanup and I may just try and get it published. I pick it up every couple of months and refine it.

Oh goodness. When I saw that sign, my first thought was "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith. Oi...

Great minds and all that

That's bringing your arrears closer to in balance (and pretty birds, great mugs)....need more pics, though.

And today's project (the assembly) for a niece who loves bunnies and is fascinated by older sibling's owl hat (that I also made) to match owl stuffed animal.

It's amazing how much they enjoy bananas (its what they were clustered around). And done, posted to POW.

Mine won’t even look at banana! I have tried so many times with all of them.
