    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Yes those two came loose while I was finger combing the feathers. Mr P moulted after I did the treatment, it was in Oct 2023 when this was happening. I was totally freaked out! Ewww!

    I used horse bug spray which worked great. And it's easy to spray on the shavings and the roosting ledges. But I only do it when I can open up the barn to air it out, not worried about it freezing, but don't want the smell to linger too long. Anywho it got rid of those lice fast - within an...

    How come I missed Mortimer - great name! But I was totally unaware of him! I am hoping Mr P will train up Gomer as his lieutenant.... Mr P just chases the other two roos away - Clyde is terrified of him and runs away, but Mr LC and Mr P get into some dandy brawls, and Mr LC is not above...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    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...

    What's the temperature where you are???

    +2C and sunny, spent hrs clearing snow. Now I get to clean horses stalls and the hen house, feed horses, put all the fur and feather babies to bed and then head to bed myself.

    My four Noirans lay those dark eggs. They are a hybrid of a Black Copper Marans crossed on French local birds. Hendrix Genetics owns their brand, my Azure Blue are also from Hendrix. To be honest I was very surprised at how dark they are.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Yes horses and cattle would be covered as valuable property, pet insurance is digging I would say. And it’s crazy expensive, and increasingly so as the pet gets older. My suggestions to pet owners who want insurance would be better to put that money aside as a just-in-case fund rather than...

    You have 37 there? I was trying to figure out all their name and who they all are. My gang will not go out in the snow unless I have paths for them. If it’s packed down hard and it’s mild they will walk on it.

    That’s some good camera work there! Very steady hand to get they focus! Your eyes are better then mine to see those. Glad it’s something easily treated I was worried! 🥰

    What's the temperature where you are???

    I need another PawPaw, I only have the one, so no fruit for me. Can’t grow Persimmon here too cold, but have pear, peach, lots of apple, and plum. Rather I’d have plum if the Japanese beetles didn’t get them!

    What's the temperature where you are???

    Well it’s a miserable winter wonderland out there 😡 Gosh I hate winter….. BUT….. I’ll take it over the arctic freeze. Going to need taller boots! Currently -4C (25F), and pretty much stopped snowing. Now I get to dig out again.

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I am so sad to hear she isn’t tip top yet. It’s probably better to keep her quiet for at least a week, do you have a friend you can put with her? I dropped a hay bale on my hand ne hen 10 days ago, thought for sure I killed her. She back out with the gang though, I kept her in a crate for a...
