    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Hello everyone, it is once again Shrimpy Sunday!! It has been a eventful week in the tank. This past Monday the snail eggs started hatching much to Rosie's delight. Best count I have got so far the other day was around 30. I know there were more hiding in plain sight where I could not see them...

    Hi everyone. I missed the last 2 pony Sundays. I could save this video for the next one but I will just have to take another. The shrimplets have grown. They are big enough the light is left on for 12 hours at a time now. I just love watching them swim around doing their own Shrimpy things...

    Noirans have marans in their heritage right? Calm, relaxed and gentle, that is all Marans in my experience. Homer does have both silkie and polish behind him thanks to George. He is pulling nothing from those gene's. This boy looks like a Marans and acts like a Marans in his temperment...

    Yes they do. Even at their worst in the middle of the idiot phase, the Roos steal my heart.

    I am a day late for pony or shrimpy Sunday but it's not my fault, blame the babies. Woke up this morning to baby snails everywhere and more hatching as we speak. It took them 2 weeks and 2 days to start hatching.

    Plus sized roosters, hah! I'll give you a future jumbo sized boy. Future gentle giant in the making.

    Both boys are well on their way with their educations. Homer is about a week and a half older then Juice and it shows. It also shows in how their momma's went about with allowing early interactions with their chicks. Goose let me handle Homer from day 1. Gryffyn, well, Gryffyn was a very much...

    I love this. They are growing up on you. I also have several geese in disguise at the moment. Has Mr. Chips attempted his first crow yet? You are in for both a treat, and a shock when he does and will have the camera's to catch it. He will literally sound like someone is trying to strangle...

    Well, if you think your seeing Saddle feathers, then yes I believe you are. I think you have a lovely cockerel on your hands.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    The last week the diner has been closed so we could clean everything and move to the new location. I was able to get home a couple hours before dark and I've been sitting out with big girls free ranging. I've been taking notes on both boys and their behavior. Homer and Juice are two entirely...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Good evening everyone. Life has been busy and I am almost 2 weeks and 80 pages behind. I do have someone special I want to introduce to everyone. Meet Eggy! Possibly subject to a name change the more I get to know her. Now, I know she looks rough. She is about 19 months old and has started...

    Oh a whole wall tank is definitely a dream. I'd have to hit the lottery though. Now, as it is still technically Pony or in my case Shrimpy Sunday, I can be a enabler. If you would like your own shrimp, they are perfect for nano tanks, 2.5 gallon. I see some do well with them in 1 gallons, but...

    Some of them have developed color in the last week. I suspect Momma shrimp is not actually a true Ghost shrimp. I believe she is considered a snowball variety of "Neocaridina" shrimp otherwise known as cherry shrimp. My Bumblebee shrimp are a color variant of those and they are the orange...

    It is time for my weekly Shrimpy Sunday update. The shrimplets are 3 weeks old and growing. I actually managed to get a halfway decent video this week where they do not look like blurry objects in the tank. They are now all over the tank and honestly I have no clue how many little ones there...

    Well, Rosie's day has just been made. I will do a full update with pictures tomorrow. Those darn snails of hers finally laid eggs. So much for me calling them duds as it took so long for them to lay. I kinda was hoping they never would while she has been dying for baby snails.
