Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[TOMTE]

Got the coop and run cleaned today. It's been needed for a while. Nice to not be assaulted by flies as soon as I step in

So fresh! So not smelly anymore!

Those blood stains aren't going anywhere though... Dang comb peckers.

I wetted down the ground in there too, been way too long since the last time I did and it was really dusty. The water took a long time to soak into the hard ground.

Now that's one thing I can scratch off my to do list! Next is epsom salt foot soaks for Esme and Gytha. I'll start that tomorrow. I pulled off one of Esme's scabs earlier and it actually looks pretty healthy and pink underneath. Fingers crossed it's a quick and easy treatment for both of them.

That my friends is the Canadian version of an Australian drop bear. A very dangerous animal in its own right. Those spines excrete a toxin that can kill a moose in seconds. The name of this animal, is too hard to pronounce in English, or French.

4 hours of fiddling to get the door inplave and swings. Still had to jurry rig a latch. DoneView attachment 4189208View attachment 4189209

Now for a shower and a popsicle where I can see what they think now. They cussed me out....A TON while working on the install. Kiddos to DS for helping and getting the latch figured out@

Well done! That looks awesome!

You can either paint over those sprays, or use a lime wash. Around here lime is used instead of paint in many a barn. Don’t get it on your eyes (trust me ).

You should NEVER let your chickens use power tools, NO EXCEPTIONS!! Next. They will want to borrow the lawnmower

Oh that would be my dream, someone to mow the grass….. and do the weed—wacker, and the push mower!

Actually the grass is crispy, heat and no rain has pretty much dried up all the grass. The chooks are whining because no grass to nibble on.
