Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I could be a psychologist’s nightmare! But I choose to take the remainder of my life raising chickens!

Hello everyone. I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend. First thing tomorrow morning I am calling a dentist for myself. Last night while playing cards I was crunching on ice. Big mistake, huge, I broke a back tooth. This morning I woke up and it feels like someone has taken a 2x4 and slammed me into the face with it. No amount of Tylenol, Motrin or Orajel can even take the edge off of it. I have never been so tempted in my life to pull my own tooth. Honestly it could not hurt any worse and it makes me feel terrible for what Rosie went through 2 months ago.

In chicken news, today the littles spent the entire day out of the coop. They did wonderfully and even put themselves to bed when it got close to being dark. They stayed really close to the coop unless they spotted me or mom and then they would come to investigate where we were sitting. It is time, they have earned their freedom now.

Oh no! Teeth nerve pain is bad news - hopefully they can pull if for you immediately.

Isn’t it great when they grow up enough to put themselves to bed

I wish my kiddos would go roost in the hen house - they want to roost on the stall walls though.

I wonder how long your kiddos will take to start laying, will they be like mama and take forever???

Ooooop meant Polish not silkie

And not one of you caught that???!!!

I would have figured Sylvester017 at least would have !

I saw it....figured on the right one...mind focused on heading for the shower to wash off the evidence of our labors...

The fruits of our labors:

The ones standing in front need splitting before stacking. There are a few more of those off to the left too. Have enough to consider it done, but if the weather holds, have more cut up there to collect...and plenty more that could be cut.

Most of our Silkies began laying between 6-7 months. The one Silkie cockerel we had started crowing between 8-9 months & then wouldn't shutup. Sadly we had to return him & that was hard since we had him since a day old .

Of all the adventures I have had throughout my life, the most memorable and fun I’ve had was as a Disney cast member Engineer. Crazy fun and nobody shooting at me. I left because of the political climate and satanic influence. Sue me Disney.. I can prove my point in open court!

Our family feels the same ~ the place was clean innocent fun in 1955 but not now

The only wood that smells fresh is green wood....which needs to sit for at least 3 months to let the sap out of it. Burning the green stuff...burns more slowly but produces tons more creosote so is NOT a good idea in any kind of stove or fire place. In a fire pit outside, it works well. That wood has been dead/fallen for several years, so zero scent.

So many memories

I feel very lonely tonight. I went in the coop and brought Coco home with me. I get a late night cup of Coco, and an early morning cup of Coco too! Life is good
