Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

No, he likes them and is constantly building something I asked for. He just doesn't like their poop, as he's quite OCD. He even cleaned that up a couple of days this winter when I was too sick to walk out there
I do quiz him on their names occasionally. He definitely knows about half. They're really my obsession, so it's okay.

Names are interchangeable here - I scream at someone and use the wrong name and they just roll their eyes and call me a dumb Hooman and then tell me ‘BAWK bok bok BwAk BWAK bok bok’ which mean ‘if you can’t get my name right then stop yelling at me Hooman’.

I used to be all freaked out with my brick pavers and chicken poop. Finally had to just accept it as it was. I’ve really tamed down over wanting the floors all swept clean and all. Never gonna happen anymore!

But I do sweep where I run the water hose along the floor - nothing worse than cecal poop all over your hands from the hose! And mine is one of those fabric covered X-hoses.

Of course there is always one smart ‘butt’ chicken that has to go and plant a juicy one right on the hose…. A whole 60’ of floor and they plant it on a 1” hose. Brats I tell you brats all of them!

TeeHee... had to giggle about the poop. I also was OCD about poop the 1st couple yrs & now after 15 yrs I just let the wind & rain wash it away. Oh, I sweep about once a week but that's about it

So does Bijou also roost on the plank? Snuggled up to a fluffy butt

I don't know. When she spends the night in the coop, she greets me at the door in the morning.

I am way behind, it's been a trying few days with the changeable weather, yesterday's snow (over a foot of heavy wet stuff) meant I had to use the new snowblower and clear the driveway and all the way to the barn down to the road - my usual person who clears the snow (my younger niece) is swamped at her work and unable to drop by. Clearing that snow even with the snowblower was horrendously hard work. But I did it!

To make the day passable, the weather was as nice today as it was miserable yesterday. Once I cleared the snow I dug out the paths to Mount Poopmore for the chooks and they were able to get out and about, it was around +2C no wind and sunny - very pleasant for a February day. Tomorrow promises to be another miserable day with freezing rain and rain. The weekend looks dismal, but hopefully the chooks can get out a bit again, as long as it isn't snowing or too windy and it gets above freezing they are good with going out. I just have to keep an eye on anyone who tries to 'fly over the snow and goes plunk into it!'. Petra is flying demon! She flies almost as well as Mr and Mrs LC do.

OK everyone have a lovely evening!

Wow! Take care of yourself. At 60 I could do a lot of stuff like that... but now I'm thrilled to just be able to sweep a patio or trim a tree w/o having to be sitting down to do anything!

And that’s about it!

How fortunate she is a long-hair kitty for more warmth. She is a prize gift. I think a lot of us on here enjoy her antics. Need some Sherlock Sunday pics too

My body is messed up. I’m tired but can’t sleep. I feel hungry, but I made shrimp stir fry, and couldn’t eat. It’s just another chemical adjustment via dialysis I imagine. My fluid retention was way too much this morning’s session. I thought I would share that.

It's no wonder you had no appetite... I personally am no fan of any shrimp! Sorry about your health issues. I find our little Silkies are a great diversion but not sure I could handle as many birds as you have now. But they most certainly are lucky to have you! Hope you dont get any surprise chicks in spring. Sounds like you're doing a good job finding all the nests so far.
