Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[TOMTE]

We're down a car, and hubby suggested we do the grocery shopping last night after dinner. Grocery shopping is waaaaay down on his favorite things to do, so I jumped at the chance to have him go with. (Then he can pick out some things he likes, and maybe find a new thing.)

He told me to get the chickens a watermelon (I had it already on the list) and when we got home, he suggested I give them some right then. I cut off the two ends and they got an evening snack to help cool off.

They'll get more today, and it'll be refrigerator temp. I have some slices in the freezer too.

I've been wetting down the soil in the run to give them cooler places to dustbathe.

I'm hating this heat wave as much as my girls are, ugh. Poor things can't even get a break at night these past few days.

Yesterday evening I soaked each of their feet in cold water. Magrat was the only one who didn't mind. Esme was okay after a minute. The rest were like, "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING TO ME?" I swear, Sybil thought I was trying to drown her. The water only went up to their ankles!

Answer, bathtub: two inches deep low light and soft music. Not that stuff you’re used to listening to!

They might find Slipknot relaxing for all I know!

Some mugs, these two handsome gentlemen are tentatively moving this weekend.

Marble calling Navy to come to bed last night

Nosy Posy is very cuddly all of a sudden

Maybe they'd like Chiquitita (chickytita?) by ABBA...

I have similar plans for this morning. Right now mine are in the deep damp shade playing at being jungle fowl.
It is already pretty soggy under there but I will wet it down if it doesn’t rain this evening.
I think that is Tassels and Pooh to the right. Piglet can be seen in the middle at the back.
