Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

100%

There's an episode of the Cosby Show. Daughter snuck out, Mom found out....let the yelling commence...."Don't speak to me when I'm yelling at you!"..."You better answer me when I ask you a question!"

To be fair:

1. It's TV. Fiction.
2. Fire where kid was supposed to be...parents panic as kid is there....only to find out kid is not just somewhere else, but in another CITY.
3. Fairly good representation of parental panic, followed by more panic, followed by relief kid is safe...and the reactions to all the adrenaline in the system.

Is 51 chickens too many, or not enough?

Hey - so good to see you again.

51...not sure, depends. BUT 51 itself isn't a good # of chickens - you need a prime number...like 59...so let somebody go broody and hatch 8 chicks!

DH & I enjoyed Periwinkle She is stunning

I can't wait to see her crest grow! She's quite friendly too, so hopefully she stays that way!

You buy a new keyboard.

I have a question about computer equipment.
How do I get the cecal poop out of my keyboard. There’s been an accident.

We use blue painters tape to tape down Saran Wrap over the keyboard ~ Saran Wrap is pliable enough to still allow you to type but protects from dust (or poops).. Chicklets/chickens can poop over it all they want. Easy cleanup.

Shade trees, shade tarps, tiny fans in & under the coop, spraying the top levels of the run litter, ice in the waterers

Trees really are fantastic aren’t they? And they provide a great micro climate for cooler temps.

But it also needs to be easily divisible by 20. So 60 would be a better number….
Just saying
