Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Leave it long. Great for creep crawlies and fun for chickens to run around in.

I mowed ‘paths’ through it, left long areas around the trees, but made sure I could walk the fence to check for missing chooks.

This is likely how Fluffy got missed last night, I likely didn’t see her in the long grass and weeds.

Hi! This is my first story so sorry if I do something wrong...





Yesterday I went out to my hens to bring them some treats, when I saw a Cicada, I knew my chickens would love that way more then the corn I brought so I put it down, grabed a broom and had a ten minute war with it! (It would not die!) After I finally won, I picked it up (Ew! I know!) Got my chickens in there run, and threw the Cicada, wich started the first ever Cicada ball tournament. My hen Peaches (picture bellow) took it and ran like a chicken without a head around in circles. Peaches than swalloed the Cicada hole and my other hen Snooze grabed the wing and almost pulled it out. So, I guess I need to find more Cicadas for them. Haha!

Wildfire broke out near town.

This is the sort of wood we're hauling out for the wood pile.

Oh no! Be careful

Do you have an evacuation plan for your flock? I had one but I need to update it now. I am sure I can fit them all into the tack room in the front of my trailer. And Roos and babies in the truck.

If Truly won’t get on the trailer I either ride her out or set her loose to fend for herself.

I really should haul the trailer up here and load her on a few times.

Tippy says not to worry, she will show Truly how to escape!

She really is a cute wee chickie if I could be assured of getting a pullet I would love to have another Sophia chick like her.

Nice. I do little paths too. Though with me being away all this time I imagine they have reverted to jungle.
