Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sylvester017]

Here’s some major gardening View attachment 3999974

Orange? Almond? Trees? Good Central highway windbreakers. They used to plant Eucalyptus trees as windbreakers along Central Valley highways in the old days.

My folks' farm was in rural San Diego County & I remember mom feeding immigrant migrant crop pickers trekking thru our property on foot from Mexico to Central Valley during harvest seasons ~ even way before the political Cesar Chavez days. I wonder how many "Angels Unaware" she fed?

c. 1955 ~ Mom, me, & Jiggy in her treasured rose garden yard in front of the farmhouse ~ shoot, these pics are old!

Good afternoon everyone.

Let us pause for a moment of silence please.

Do not panic, no lives were lost. I cannot say the same for the 8 eggs in a carton on my countertop that I have been hoarding. 1 hen laying every other day. Mr. Stripey had better continue to hide as he is on my hit list. He jumped up on the counter which #1 all cats are forbidden doing and knocked them off onto the floor.

0 eggs, I currently have 0 eggs to my name. Dark times are upon me my friends. I will NOT buy some from the store.

So cute! The moment I saw the gingham farm girl I thought give her brown hair w/ a basket that holds Toto (or a Pomeranian ) from The Wizard of Oz!

Oh, no! What crushing news!

We do our best to save & utilize broken eggs for all the work hens go thru to lay them ~ but that sounds heart-breakingly unsalvageable!!!

Inquiring minds want to know!

Scrambled eggs?

As I figured. The Rockettes are malnourished. Crops are empty and they are hungry. But they would rather starve themselves than be jumped by Mr Wyandottey.
I’m going to feed them away from the coop, one at time If necessary.

A successful day. Every Rock has a full crop. Some too much I think.
I’m spending a few more minutes with BoPeeps, because she’s kinda an outcast.
