Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I give up and just need to stay in the house until summer. We had 3 blissful days of cold and frozen ground. Today it is back to almost 50 and the yard thawed. I went out to feed Poppet and Turkey. I even had my boots on that are non-slip and walking in the grass to avoid the mud. Down I went again, 3rd time in 2 weeks.

I need to send you my cleats for ice.

Can you get ice cleats down there? I got mine at Walmart.

Did you get chicks from the lady you borrowed Teddy from?

….nope….

Are those the two fresh babies you were talking about earlier?

….could be…..

All tucked in bed

The big reveal
Time to confess…. Yes I shoved two chicks under Georgie, she was losing too much weight and I feared for her. She is too young for this broody business.

Took you all long enough to figure it out!

Two silkie chicks - Holly and Jolly - thanks Rebecca for the name suggestions.

My luck they are two cockerels.

You really are nutz!

You really are nutz!

Yup

But to be serious I was really worried about Georgie, she was really losing weight fast and she hadn’t drank anything in days. She wouldn’t stop being broody.

These silkies are driving me nuts! I hope that she is like Marty and just doesn’t go broody again.

There will never be a chook like Marty

Kiddo got more farm animals from gramma and grampa for Christmas.

The coop with the green roof makes a triple rooster crow when the button is pushed...
This is...most of her chickens.

She’s a grumpy little brat - but she and Mr P are an item
