Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Stop by Ohio and pick me up, I would love to sit a spell with her and her chickens too!

I’m pretty sure that might be possible. I was planning a cross country trip, to check up on my property in DC and then make a visit with Her Royal majesty, Queen Aurora, and the @BY Bob family. Then up to Maine to see an old friend. This plan is very much on the table lately.

I don’t like these smart iPhones!
The charger cord always breaks and then I have an emergency situation cheap little connector cables! . Alright enough bitching from me. Here’s some chickens!View attachment 4213252View attachment 4213253

Try magnetic cables. The bit going into the port (on the phone or other device) can be found in different types depending upon what you need.

There is a regional airport 20 min away you can land there

I'll have the lawnchairs ready - might want to pick up Rebecca on the way seeing as how she is just sitting around anyways

Was it @drstratton asked us to post our chicken runs?
Here's the overall view, though you can't see into the woodsy area in the back.

The covered runs, two 6.5 x 13 ft runs placed at a "T" to each other. These go into the covered Big's coop run at the far end, you can make out the ladder back there, but there’s a door to the netted outdoor area on the left just before that coop run, near the blue dust bath pool.

Going to the left of the covered runs. This area with the perch between cinder blocks the Nomad Buckeyes use a lot, and the Bigs like to lay next to the run on the damp ground between the drainage pipe and the run wall when it's hot.

Going more left and uphill is the fields-y area. There is Buff Orp Tedi in the shade just inside the back woodsy area. The wall of the netted area is 1” aviary netting and the ceiling is 2” netting.

In the back woodsy part, looking down to the covered runs more or less. In the shadow on the left near the left-most tree are a couple Nomad Buckeyes coming up to see what I'm about.

Heading left and around. That’s excess netting gathered at the top.

Out of the wooded area looking again at the fields-y area and now the Littles' coop area, from the opposite side.

This area was unplanned as extra until I got five chicks instead of three. Used the wall netting as ceiling, lifting it to make a roof, then adding more netting to extend the ceiling and bring it down to a wall and enclose it. But all I had close to the right size was more 1" stuff which is heavy and sags a lot. Lots of improvised tripods and posts and salvaged wrecked greenhouse tubes in here to hold it and the various shade and weather tarps up.

A view from above of this side and the Littles' coop. On the very left is the Bigs,' coop which has a shade tarp on an intact greenhouse frame but is not under any netting, the run goes to under the big coop but not around it.View attachment 4213263

That's a great idea to use the tri-pod poles to hold up the netting - no digging holes and you can move it around if needed. Great idea!

(I have built fencing like that in areas were it's rocky, use three poles as a post, and then one can attach rails to it

Yes - my iPhone will charge on one of those wireless charging pads - very cool! My co-worker has one and I tried my phone on it mine is a very old 10. Camera is good during the daytime (hense my gazzillion photos), but terrible at night.

Fluffy (in back) and Henny Penny - gosh I just realized that Muffy looks just like her!

I have one but I prefer to just use a wire.
