    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Tonight I lost Little Mouse. I counted 7 times, walked the barn no less that 3 times inside and out, down the fence line though the snow (no chicken tracks in the snow).... I have to figure who I was missing, so out came the list and I went through it. Calling out names: Fluffy - Bok! (here)...

    I decided not to use concrete in the barn due to expense and as you stated hard to remove if you need to. Those 2’x2’ patio slabs are horrendous to handle, the 1x1 pavers are much easier to put down, I used some around the garden. I use the brick pavers (4”x8”) in the barn - they go down...

    Run Floor

    I also use brick pavers in the barn, my whole floor (stalls included) are those pavers. They are relatively easy to install, and drain well. Outside I will use electric fencing to keep predators away. Zap!!! Love electric fencing! If it can keep a bear away from the bins in our work camps it...

    Run Floor

    I use play sand no issues. And the fine dusty topsoil is like fine powder here in the summer when it’s hot and dry. I think there are many misconceptions surrounding ‘Silica’ Real silica is what is used in abrasive blasting (sand blasting) and this is where people feel that silica is bad, the...

    That would have me in a panic! I know how silly my gang is, I would worry about them getting a head stuck 😳
