Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[SimpleJenn]

About to set up the brooder to test run. I want to check my brooder plates before I get bedding in there. Hoping to go to the farm store for bedding, chick feed, and one of those long feeders with the little holes that feed a lot of chicks.

This is so exciting!

HAPPY !!! How does Cassia get in & out of your fenced yard? Too funny!

There is just enough of a gap between the gate and house.

Very creative! I can’t draw a straight line without a ruler

I even have to have the chooks remind me to measure twice and cut once when I am working on things.

Update on the Stop Pick product.

Consensus is with those bad girls, is that it’s very tasty with blood feathers.

The stuff stinks and I am sure it doesn’t taste all that great but it doesn’t stop them from picking at him.

They are quite vicious about it also, they grab hold and just whale on the poor fella! They practically drag him across the floor to haul out a blood feather!

As a result he is banned forever from having those brats in with him.

Perhaps you have vampire chickens, or anemic ones? Maybe get them some liver?

That's great to know. I love Mr P

I keep hearing Mr Wyandottey out in the yard crowing. And when I go out, he comes strolling on up, as if to say “well, where’s my treat this time?” I have cut back on treats for all the birds for a while.
Now maybe twice a day only.
Yeah, I’m such a mean person

Give over mate. Who are you trying to kid. You are a push over, we all know this, especially your little feathered ones.

Fresh Tracks

We had fresh snow last night. There is no slowing my little raptor down!
