Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

Sounds like our place... we spend an hour trying to find the right tool to do a 15 minute job, too many people using the tools around here, drives me nuts...

Got enough juice to start screws, so door panel is now glued and screwed....with the ratchet screw driver. Hopefully tomorrow night will have enough juice to predrill for the hatch frame and braces. Planning on ratchet screwing 14 5-inch screws.....sigh. a 1 day assembly, 4 day polyurethane process is going to take at least a couple of weeks.

I'm sorry. I hate when a project goes on and on. Of course around here, the projects never end...lol
I can't wait to see the finished product.

We have so many silkies and orpingtons! Also a couple legbars and of course the polish. One silkie who seemed deformed passed away, sadly.

Hubby made "lay trays" that I will put curtains around. Our girls like to pile up to lay so it makes sense

The creaky bagpipes are so happy to be out of that cramped cage.

It's just wonderful. Congratulations!

I think you need to tell those girls some scary boogeyman stories. Then they'll WANT to go to roost!

Awww they are lovely, I miss my old boy he was a wonderful stallion, push button, quiet enough for kids to ride. He is long gone though.

Today I have Truly a good washing, she is not able to roll, and her back is rather swayed now some she can’t get the hair there scrubbed with the dirt. She builds ul a lot of scurf and oils.

I mixed some iodine and bluing shampoo together and gave her a really good scrubbing which she thoroughly enjoyed. She is all shiny and flea-bitten white soft and silky.

Reenie’s also got a scrubbing, she loves loves loves having a bath, and will just stand there while I spray her with the hose.

Funny girls, you can’t sleep outside, that’s were the tigers and lions roam at night!

Forgot to post a Caturday. He's late to the party for obvious reasons.

This boy was so smart, you could see the wheels turning in his head...too smart...lol

I've had 2 horses in my lifetime. I feel so blessed to have had that opportunity. I love them and miss having them, but I don't think we'll ever have another.

Yours sound so sweet. Enjoy them!
