Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Thirsty Thursday

It’s actually dried up here pretty well. But the chooks managed to peck a bit at the water I emptied from the horses pails.

And Patches had a sip from the water bowl.

And just because they are darn cute - I give you the dumplings.

I think Holly is a girl, Jolly...not so sure. Dunno if I see tassels...

Periwinkle's been an absolute beautiful doll since her 1st pic She has a perfect name for a perfect color.

She's really a sweetie. I told her that she needs to grow up well, and she can be queen of the broody butts if she so chooses!

Is 51 chickens too many, or not enough?

Hi PTR! 51 chickens is great if they free range but if cooped in a run it depends on whether they have 10 to 20 sq ft for each bird. You have 51 birds now?

We have a cat-poo deterrent padded beach mat that covers the sandbox at night when the cats are prowling. No cat poo! Folds up easy every morning.

Yup gotta know how.

When I worked at Sears one April Fools day the guys popped all the keys off my keyboard and mixed them all up.

As soon as my fingers touched the keyboard I knew they were wrong.

Swap M and N.

We use blue painters tape to tape down Saran Wrap over the keyboard ~ Saran Wrap is pliable enough to still allow you to type but protects from dust (or poops).. Chicklets/chickens can poop over it all they want. Easy cleanup.

I'm gonna guess that one chicken really liked the laptop. If I'm not mistaken the hard drive is right there, which hums and the chook might like that.
