    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    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...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    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.

    Well I came home to some heartbreaking news. Inky and her 2 brothers did not make it. Fly high you 3 beautiful little souls. As bad as it hurts I am extremely thankful her breeder pulled her from being for sale when they first noticed symptoms. Many would not have said a word and sold me a...

    Sigh, no response yet regarding the little polish pullet. I'm really hoping no news is good news and she is recovering. If she has passed I would like to know. Worry about a little chicken that is not yet mine kept me up half the night. That was bad as I went down another rabbit hole searching...

    Clyde is just soo handsome even when molting. I really need to borrow him for just a month. Can you imagine the chicks he and Poppet would produce.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I am conflicted with this turn of events. I so agree it is a nice time to take a break and sneak in a cuddle during the "carrying said chicken" to roost. Those few minutes can become something special, trust me I know. I've done it many times in the past. First with Drumstick who would wait on...

    I fully agree I need to be armed while outside. I personally cannot at the moment. Trust me when I say both the shot gun and the rifles kick like the dickens. Either one could potentially undo everything the surgeon did for me a month ago. I can use and shoot the pistol properly. For a...

    Oh, I forgot to mention that as of Sunday evening I 100% now know what predator I have been dealing with. Mom was sitting out the back door just watching Dirt eat his dinner. To her shock a coyote just hopped off the hill and ran straight up to the silkie coop. By the time she ran in and got the...

    This evening I've had the little black polish pullet on my mind. I have not had a update on her since Saturday when I found out they had started on antibiotics. I'm praying right now no news is good news. I do think I'm going to reach out tomorrow and see how she is doing. I've been going back...

    She is so pretty. I'm praying quarantine goes well. I'm also praying that when the time comes integration goes smoothly and all 3 form their own special little tribe. I hope Niamh realizes just how special a chicken she is. Not many owners would go to the extreme lengths you had to go through to...

    It's time for another Shrimpie Sunday update. The little shrimplets are 2 weeks old and are now all over the tank. They are big enough now I can leave the light on. My poor plant is thankful for that I'm sure as it took a slight hit with me keeping the lights off most of the time while they...

    Good afternoon everyone. ugh I am tired. The last 2 1/2 weeks I have clocked in at work after my therapy appointments. The first 3 times mom stayed and loafed around incase it proved to much to handle or we got busy. We were kind of slow and I did not do things I should not and was ok. Then mom...

    I do not know what I'm thinking. Actually I do, George's loss has hit me harder then I realized. I miss the hairdo, I miss the strut that Polish walk with. That swagger and pizzazz. You cannot tell me Polish do not walk different, I've saw it. High stepping and so fancy. I've saw several listed...

    OMG, the facebook group rabbit hole just bit me in the butt. Finalizing details now. The last 48 hours been on a secret mission, still in the works. I took a break from searching and simply was scrolling through my feed and a local post caught my eye. As in local within 5 minutes of my work. I...

    I know I do not need a turkey, but you also know what I'm doing. In the midst of my project I'm stumbling across all sorts of things including turkeys. Lots and lots of Turkeys and so I find myself wanting a guard turkey. It does not help that I see a large group of turkeys every morning at the...

    It takes a special kind of skill to loose one's insulin pump receiver. I, I have that skill. I got home around 10 this evening. Came in and threw my ice packs in the freezer, and set everything else on the table. I went out to gather the eggs and double check Rosie had everyone locked up. I...
