Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sylvester017]

I have a synthetic plasti-crete sink I love, easy to clean, wish I could get feed dishes made of this!

I've had a lot of sink experiences but that's a new one to me. I guess I'm from the old school of stainless steel & glass items w/ a suspicion about all the plastics these days. Us old fogies get used to something & stick w/ it!

My Mom used to bake constantly from scratch (no bread machines) & she chucked all her Pyrex bowls (to me) to replace her bowls w/ a set of 3 sturdy stainless steel bowls graduated sizes made w/ good stainless & not the thin foreign stuff now. Yay! I got those stainless bowls today TY Mom Washing stainless bowls in a stainless sink...no breaks

Well hello little ones. Welcome to the world. I’m glad you came.

Spring is in the air

You mean all those chicken breed icons aren't enough ? I'm still looking for Violet getting a bath in that sink...I've only got about 100+ folders to search...

I certainly do

It'll be obvious when she walks around the yard w/ chicks following her that they were hatched by her...

Jury is still out considering this situation. All the eggs in that nest were the same size and color.
If she came over to lay eggs and brood them, I wouldn’t blame her at all. Giving her kids a chance at a better life!

Oh wow! Gorgeous!

I think the rabbits have killed mine, they have ringed they bark off the tree I noticed. I’ll see if I get flowers then cut it back - again.

You know what’s gonna happen to bunnies right?

You don't have to kill the rabbits They help keep the weasels, bobcat, fox, coyote, fisher et al alive in winter. These predators are necessary...so same as with chickens, you have to protect the tree from now on. Like we do for our beaver neighbors here in summer who otherwise do a great job impounding water against drought, but might ring your favorite apple tree in the process unless you collar it. I had some blueberry bushes gnawed on this winter, but there's enough for everybody, and they're doing the pruning for me...on the other hand I made an exclusion area around my cultivated raspberry patch, because there's very little I am willing to donate right now.

Rabbit tax. Everybody roosting tonight. They are snuggled together more than usual, probably due to the wind which is rather roaring with the weather coming in. It’s still warm, just under 40F

Diane had her first dose of CBD extract oil late today on a little bread. Tedi and Annie got a few crumbs. I was going to hold off until tomorrow morning to observe her on and off throughout the day but she got two really hard bites in while I was holding dandelion stalks for them and that was it for me. She seemed fine but unchanged for the next hour and a half.

I'm looking forward to hearing how this goes.

Love it, but why does it look like it's giving me the stank eye?

She made mean comments at me today. I could not let them out all day due to a cold.
