Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sylvester017]

Meant that we could even get an apartment under the L in St. Louis and no problem Or any other property near an airport

We rented an old 1920's built wood frame house next to freight train tracks. The property next to the tracks was a vacant lot & then our little Craftsman house next to it so technically we were the house nearest the tracks. The house shook & windows rattled w/ every freight that streaked past, plus we were at the intersection connection & heard the clanging red lights & the trains' warning horns too ~ all hours of the day & night! My baby DS grew up able to sleep thru ANY noises now...me, not so much .

c. 1967 ~ look at the size of that wasted backyard ~ it was a big piece of property but we weren't allowed any pets or chickens, a real waste of land!

I’d call that chick “Uno”

& the 2nd chick "Dos" then "Tres" then "Quatro" then "Cinco"......?

It's taken over 2 and a half hours to send princesses feed and a gift to Dean's farm via amazon.

For some reason after years of dealing with Dean's farm wish list, they can't deal with it anymore. Maybe the never could.

Wake up amazon your lack of helpfulness is very bad for business.

I for one owe this charity big time and won't be ordering their wish list from amazon ever again

Did my old human send me this food

That is a cute pic !! Amazon is just too big for them to manage well any more. Yesterday they delivered us a wrong order ~ they refunded us cuz it was a pharmacy item they won't take back...but today the new order arrived correctly. They are so huge there's bound to be mistakes made.

Peanuts - that what they like, and it will be your friend forever!

Is it wise to encourage squirrels around chicken feed/seeds & chickens? We chased our baby squirrel away. I'm not a fan of rodent type wildlife around our yard & cats aren't great at catching fast elusive squirrels ~ they steal from bird feeders & do damage getting into them. They are cute as can be...just not in my yard.

My grandmother lived in a house that was right where the Underground came to the surface.
When I stayed there I slept essentially next to the tracks.
The trains came every two minutes and I only ever woke up at about 1am when the system would be shut down and there would be no trains for about 3 hours.
I can still remember the feeling of waking up suddenly and realizing it was because of ‘sudden silence’!

Train track tax - my brave Princesses may be terrified of a few caterpillars but they are fine exploring in the jungle.
