Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I love that! I've never seen a portable swamp cooler... where have I been...lol

I have one here, but it’s way too humid for it to be effective.

Though today the humidity is lower or might work ok.

Here is a relative humidity chart for temps you can achieve.


So my temp is at 89F and 46% humidity so I can expect the temp to be reduced to 78F.

The big problem here is the swamp cooler increases the local air humidity and over time reduces its efficiency.

These are super awesome for dry desert conditions.

Kelly, tomorrow is my legal birthday. You need not work on my birthday, Canada’s parliament is deciding if they should make it a national holiday. So take the day off and go get more chicks!

Happy Birthday Mr Featherhead007 - hope you’re able to spend a nice day doing what you like.

Oh

Happy Monday everyone.
I seem to have incited a riot by trying to give Tassels a treat of some grapes and blueberries. The chicks are going nuts for them and chasing each other all over for each one.
Stupid me, it took me a while to realize that Tassels was dropping them on the floor for them on purpose!
Here are a couple of mugs. Tassels taking her Momma Hen role very seriously, and look which itty bitty, smaller than everyone, managed to run off with the prize!

It would work fantastic where I live...dry, dry, dry and more dry...lol

But, they are beautiful brats!

Not in the cards for me today. What I really want is beyond people’s imagination.

I have moved Tassels and her babies into the Chicken Palace. I will keep them confined in the dog crate for 24 hours and then let them out to explore.
It wasn't the easiest thing to move the dog crate with its occupants from the garage, so I had to improvise.

Tassels made it known that my driving of the carriage left something to be desired (bit of a bumpy ride) but she calmed right down when she realized she was back home in the Chicken Palace.

The Littles are very energetic and although I miss their little peep-peep sounds in my bathroom, I am glad Tassels is now in charge!

So is that Geronimo about to leap up to the cardboard top edge? Mama is doubling / merely a handy springboard…. Sorry for my incessant worrying, the first thing I think is that one will get caught out and end up between the cardboard and the cage wire, but probably will pop through they’re so small, and then what? Which Auntie will greet them?
