    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Oh, I love this horse and his story! I adored the book about how he came to Harry. Such a happy coincidence for Snowman! Thinking about the drafts I've known, it's even more amazing. He had the temperament of a draft, but the get up and go of a thoroughbred when he wanted to! The drafts I've met...

    Baby time! I'm sorry there haven't been many photos, I've been extremely busy, much more so than normal, and haven't been able to spend as much time with them as I've wanted. The names are still being decided. We have so far: Mary Peck and Dandy (Buff Orp) Stephenie, Elizabeak, Candace (EE)...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Well, everybody made it through the night and are thriving! I didn't expect to be able to tell that much of a difference between the tractor supply chicks I had previously, but I absolutely can! These guys are very active and happy, barely sleeping, but eating and drinking perfectly well. I'm...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    They are all looking healthy and happy! I have yet to see them sleep, it's an active little bunch! I'm very happy that the extras are pullets, I think things will be less complicated that way. I would have been okay with an extra roo though. But Jerry has 11 girls all to himself, which should...

    Going to go pick up the chicks shortly! Fingers crossed all in the box are doing well! They sound healthy, I heard them in the background of the phone call. They definitely have good sets of lungs!

    I'm tracking the package, and calling at 8 am tomorrow. I'll call ever hour until I know where they are, whatever it takes to get them here safely!

    Eek! They're on their way! The babies are coming, the babies are coming! :wee:wee:wee:woot I'm torn between excitement and worry. They hatched sooner and shipped faster than expected and I'm hoping they aren't going to try to deliver to the door instead of the post office. The last steps are...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Good question! Thankfully, I ordered back in mid February, for a hatch in late March. I'd noticed that the pretty Orpingtons' hatch date selections were going fast, so I ordered way earlier than I thought I would need to, thinking it'd probably be fine, but it wouldn't hurt to reserve them...

    Chicks arrive Monday! :wootOnly 6 days left to wait! I'm ridiculously excited. :weeI have pretty much everything purchased, and only have a few more things to check off the list. I'll get feed and some electrolytes and clean out the horse trough they'll go in this weekend. That's it for the last...

    I'm so sorry about Lulu. :hugsI can't imagine how much you must miss her. You were the very best person for her, and took care of her to the very end. She couldn't have asked for better. :hugs

    :eek:Hello handsome! :love If it weren't for the fact that he'd be so much older than your girls and he'd have to wait a long time, I'd say nab him. He's gorgeous!

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I did pretty well the same thing, but it had been a discussion for at least a year first and we got pullets from a friend. I did a lot of research beforehand as well and had a friend I could call with any questions

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I have! Meyer ran out of what I wanted before March for the foreseeable future! I ordered from Mt Healthy in the middle of February, and still just barely got my order in before they ran out of the breeds I wanted. I have never seen chicks go so fast. I'm hoping we don't see a lot of 'Didn't...

    Well, picked up the brooder lamp today! I wish it was a brooder plate, but Mount Healthy said heat lamp was better after travel, and they require that you use a lamp. Also picked up some cute little feeders! I may need to grab a second feeder and maybe another waterer for 11, but figured I'd...
