Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Glad I’m not colorblind. I have beautiful colored birds.
Redheaded Rhode Island Red,
Blue chook because she’s so blue.
Little CeeCee with her pink eyes and eggs.
The Rockettes are black with white stripes, or the other way around.
Mr Wyandottey has so many different colors that I can’t really describe.

If none of that makes sense, it’s the cough syrup talking!

That’s admirable of you. AI really is the cancer of the new millennium

Thank you. It was a very hard decision, and I'm quite sad about it, but if it saves losing chickens and/or kitties, it's worth it.

Sorry to say, I have ear infections, sore throat, headaches, chills, fever and body aches all over. Other than that, I’m good! Chooks are fine

Will be praying for you! Winter bugs are no fun.

It's Not a Fit Day Out for Man nor Beast

The heavy snow has arrived.

Down the hill. There are houses that you can't see because the snow is so heavy. You can't see a block.

A view of the coop...

Meanwhile in the coop.....

Aww comfy cozy.

This is true love and companionship. She would sit on me for hours if I Let her.

Well I went and bought a Carbon Fibre heat lamp, after researching about them, decided on this one:

I hung it in the aisle it is supposed to be 5’ from the walls and animals so in the middle is the aisle it went. I might lower it to 4’ though - will see how it goes tomorrow, I think it helped keep the hen house and barn a bit above freezing today.

The older ladies figured it out fast and were hanging out under it, glad they are using it.

I will only keep it one during the day, it’s not needed at night.

It’s on a chain so I can raise or lower it. But I need a hook so at night I can haul it up out of the way.
