Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Fly high and free, beautiful, lovely Joy. There are many FBA friends awaiting you on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Yes Sally, you are right. I’m sure my Sir Jaffar has already welcomed her into eternity.
It still doesn’t help much that I miss the ones I have lost.

They are looking into an invisible fence between our properties. And buying me more keets/eggs in spring.

RIP Screamer

Oh no! How terrible for you and your chooks. Sorry but the dog would have meet a terrible time, why does the neighbour allow their dog to run loose knowing there are livestock around?

Hugs for you also today.

So sorry you lost Screamer. A dog that attacks your birds, will do it again, if not restrained. I take it, you don’t have much of a choice?

There may be more recent ones out there, but I think Lidocaine is safe based on this study

Mice.
It seems we finally have an invasion. I've always wondered why the feed was spilled randomly. It turns out there are mice living under the coops.

Any advice on how to get rid of them?

But slippery as heck on wet tiles - I almost killed myself falling in camp on my last day before heading home. wouldn't you know!

Scared the cleaner to death he was freaking out asking 'didn't you see the slippery when wet sign?'. Well yes but I didn't expect you to spray right in my path as I was walking by in my ultra quiet slippery crocs!!

Not the first time I have slipped with those on, chicken poop I find is really slippery with them - of course chicken poop is slipper with any foot wear! Now if they could harness that as a lubricant.....!

Gotta watch out for those poop bombs! It's not that they're slippery for me to step on... I just don't relish cleaning the bottoms of my soles afterwards... so I'm really careful where I step
