Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Or...you're just slowing down

Since they are so wild an animal net might be worth it if you really want to catch them & you're out of gentler options?

The mama and two little ones were waiting for me on the back porch. They gladly went into the animal carrier. I brought them home inside the chickens room and reunited them with their family. It’s Easter Sunday after all.
Kids should be with their mama today!

Big pain dealing with that for sure.

Which pain? All that cleaning and spraying, or making the tinfoil hat? The dance is easy and the chant is too!

Put up a new fence that is damage proof. Good fences make good neighbors.

You must understand that my lot is a step up from the next door lot.
Two feet higher in grade. The barn coop is right on the property line and if I were to put up a fence I would have to move the barn coop. My yard is bigger than the rest of the properties on the block, and I own the alley way next to the church. Making peace with the neighbor, would be so much easier and nicer too. But that’s just a dream.

Here’s what I received from my church friends, for an Easter gift:
Yep, all of that stuff.

Hahahaha not to worry I have about a dozen pairs of these socks, and the slacks are my barn ones I wear over my leggings didn’t want you to think I wear the same thing every day! Ok well the shoes yes - love those sloggers, can’t get them up here. I got these at TSC the last year I visited AZ when mum was there - I bought the last 2 pairs in my size.

Used to be able to get them here but not anymore.

I guess I’ll need to make border run and get another couple pairs sometime this year go to the Olive Garden while I’m at it

Maybe we should meet up at the olive garden.

That's wonderful news!

So early this morning I found this and ordered it off amazon.

One of the reviews gave a very detailed and helpful plan for treating chickens. Mix up 2 ounces with 3 gallons of warm water and soak each bird for 60 seconds. That will be a chore but it must be done. Then a deep cleaning of the coops and horse stalls while I am at it. Followed by mixing some up in a sprayer and spraying everything. Repeat in a week.

I'm going to treat every bird. So far I have only found them on George and Mrs. E. That does not surprise me as those 2 snuggle together each night. I'm wondering if maybe Mrs E. brought them in when she was given to me?

I'm also wondering if this is a new and recent infestation because as much as I handle the chickens, and snuggle George surely I would have noticed them crawling on me sooner. I could almost blame the cats for this. They caught and dismembered a cardinal in the coop that George and Mrs. E sleep in last week.

I would say Mrs E in this case. It would take more than a week to get that large an infestation.

Which pain? All that cleaning and spraying, or making the tinfoil hat? The dance is easy and the chant is too!

no one said anything about dancing!

But the spray cleared up my gang fast even if I forgot to dance!

Muffy saw me filling my face again - I told her she didn’t like apple juice. Handy little side table on this chair. Holds a good sized hen on it!

You had to dance and chant and wear your tinfoil hat. That makes the spray more effective!
