    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I kept popping into TSC to check on the chicks. Lots of straight runs, breeds I'm not interested in, or ducks. So I went to the store where I get feed and ordered 4 black Australorp pullet chicks. I missed the April batch, so I'll be getting them May 13th. The lady at the store goes to pick...

    6weeks old Bielefelder, pullet or cockerel?

    We may never know. OP hasn't been on since last July when they posted their question. Just to show how confusing this can be, here is Pip at 5 weeks. Pip was indeed a Bielefelder pullet.

    Question of the Day - Monday, March 16th, 2026

    The chickens have about 230 sf in the side yard for their coop and run. I have two vegetable gardens with about 5000 sf between them, and another 150ish sf for a blueberry bed. The rest of our property has various uses: a green house, a pole barn, "the old garage", some woods, some field.

    Figure skating, but we rarely do watch. Some of the skiing. Gymnastics; balance beam and the floor routines.

    Dug up enough weeds to fill a 5 gallon bucket, give them to the chickens. Hauled piles of leaves (raked up by hubby) down to the garden. Sat with the chickens for an hour. Squeak sat on my lap and let me pet her.

    We had a gorgeous day! We both worked on outdoor projects. We're both tired and sore, but it's a good tired and sore. I think I'll sleep well tonight.

    🐝💗Our Backyard Beekeeping Journey!💗🐝

    We had a bunch of cross comb our first year. We ripped it apart, not knowing it was there, when we pulled a frame. Mad bees! What do you do when you find cross comb? Should we scrape it off? I'm remembering a real mess in there.

    I have long (long-long-looooong) running story in my head. I get to be any character, replay and revise any/every scene. This is what I think about when I can't sleep. I just lie in bed and be someone in my story.

    Question of the Day - Saturday, March 14th, 2026

    Cleaning my ears is often like scratching an itch in a weird, hard to reach spot. Sneezing is like letting out an itch inside my nose. Both feel... kind of good to me.
