Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

What the Hecht are you doing, all the way across the pond? We sent you out to get milk, not jump a plane to England! Kids these days! Get your wayward furry butt back home! I will be waiting!View attachment 4160441

I love fancy head pieces.

Here they are again my favourite duo.

I wish I could fly over when you go on holiday so I could have my fix of caring for your feathered and fur family.

Hello! Yes, new. Also battling insomnia. We’re in Sweden (family wedding) and the birds have been singing since 2 am, which doesn’t help.

Hello
I hope you can get a little nap in to catch up

 

[Marie2020]

That's about right IMHO

Oh dear. Someone looks annoyed

He seriously was. And Wyandottes are a gentile breed, but he did try to bite me. That’s understandable because his job is to protect the tribe. Talk about mixed feelings . He has always trusted me. He let me know that those girls were his. I hugged and kissed him, and said it would be nice to share!

Tell me about it! I am engaged in an epic battle against Mr.Rat.

I am afraid to put the snap trap in the Summer House with the chooks there; I think I will put a barricade up and the trap inside this.

Flight certification for multiple jet engine aircraft is a long process and well worth the money, but flying low into a fire zone is for those crazy pilots with a death wish. I only came in to get a cup of coffee.

Gosh those babies are all grown! And they are super lovely, I love their wild colours, so unique.

And their legs are ten feet tall!

I stayed up all night learning about the game birds. Especially the Old English jungle Fowl. They are a separate species of chicken.
Not like the Silkie, who are not really chickens at all. Game birds require a totally different type of diet, so now that I have half of my tribe being game fowl, I’m headed to TSC and buy them the correct diet. This situation requires more study!

Hmmm - interesting I have not heard this before. I know ornamental birds like pheasants, quail and peafowl need a specific diet. I just let Mr and Mrs LC eat whatever all the others eat.

I think your babies look awesome, likely they are doing great on whatever it is you're giving them. And they are getting all sorts of goodies when they are out and about.

That's like Jaffarra - she is a very tall hen! and she lays blue/green eggs so I have no idea what her breeding is. Likely one of Hoover's hybrid fancy egg layers. And she flies really well also.
