Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Happy Saturday all - I have been lazing about all day, too smokey outside. I still haven't done stalls, the chooks likely ahve them tore apart the BRATS!

Mum and I went to Walmart, I needed some cortizone cream for Butters, her bald back is sun burned and sore still. While in there I tried to pick up a 15' swimming pool on sale. What a drama that was - that Walmart has absolutely horrid Customer Service, then the Assist Mngr proceeded to argue with me! Whoa Nelly! When I worked at Sears we would bend back over to assist the customer, I came very close to walking out and not getting the pool.

I did write a very scathing report on their customer service and Safety (the workers moved that over 150lb pool package with out steel-toed boots and proper equipment to move it).

Anywhooo such is the world these days, everyone is out for themselves, and no wonder people want to use Amazon, no one wants to interact with people anymore. Sad.

Of course what am I saying?! I would rather deal with my horses and chooks any day!

Happy Caturday everyone

My aunt sent me this and said it made her think of me:

Aw man! One of our pullets just killed a baby bird, running around with it in its beak by the neck. We heard the tiny screams of the baby bird and then nothing. As soon as it was dead the chicken lost interest. I guess it fell out of a nest in one of the walnut trees in the run? I know it’s just one of those things but I have to admit I was sad. I mean, at least eat the darn thing so I can mentally chalk it up to circle of life!

Correction just found two Littles under the Bigs coop in the Bigs run when I went out there again. One had the audacity to climb the ladder, get on the porch, and look in! Explored the back area behind the coop and then went around into the run again. They actually are jumping and flap playing with each other, and then preened on the doorstep. They aren't too worried about the Buff Orps.

Uh oh, Hazel straightened them out...I just put some more buckets upside down for more getaway lanes under there.

They really are such curious creatures.

Took Shelock for a walk, then put him to bed in the car port per his request. Headed down to the coop to sit with the stragglers. And found this....

I miss him so much. He wasn’t just a chook, he was my best friend
