Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

Good morning everyone! Have a lovely day, need to do chores, them need to get feed, and, it’s supposed to be mild today, I have a lawnchair with my name on it.

But first everyone need breakfast

What happened to fixing the stalls so they can't roost on them?

 

[RoyalChick]

No problem. Even though Pony found the same exact calendar on eBay, I have no problem providing the descriptions. I even provided the breed of each chicken. Here and you're welcome.
January - Padovana Hen - "Who doesn't love a little bit of glamour?"
February - Kosovo Longcrower Rooster - "I'm a limited edition."
March - Brahma Rooster - "Be savage, not average."
April - Japanese Bantam Rooster - "We all have a sparkle inside us."
May - Silkie Bantam Hen - "You can never be too glamorous."
June - Wyandotte Nana Hen - "Simplicity is the key to true elegance."
July - Barnevelder - "I know looks aren't everything but I have them just in case."
August - Cochin Bantam Hen - "I leave a little sparkle wherever I go."
September - Phoenix Rooster - "Be fancy."
October - Appenzeller Tufted Rooster - "Don't be like the rest of them, darling."
November - Sulmtaler - "I am gold, baby. Solid gold."
December - Black Polish Rooster - "I'm bright like glitter and bubbly like champagne."

Those are great!

Just think, they don't count because...............

.............They are not chickens!

They'd be named so wouldn't count any more than the existing crew does now.

Kelly, you know how much I worry about my feathered friends. My own health has been compromised with worry. I’m just hoping that she’s okay.

More reason to make sure you take care of yourself

Hey I started the process, I took down the plastic fencing I had put up temporarily for the chooks - I will use that to enclose the stalls. It’s green - wanted brown but green is ok. Better than that orange stuff which fyi works fabulously but well I didn’t want orange coloured plastic fencing for the stalls.

After I removed the temp fencing I moved the electric netting fence to make a big enclosure in front of the barn. They have been out digging up dirt all day

Thanks Light - it’s great to be able to see what I missed

 

[Ponypoor]

What’s all this squawking about?

 

[SimpleJenn]

We did not get any orps. But I spoke with both the tractor supply and farm and home chicken ladies about enrolling kiddo into 4h maybe next year. I really need to start driving I guess.
I was told d'uccles are the ultimate 4h kid bird. Small, friendly, usually not afraid of the fair. She could even enter eggs that our birds lay!!!
