Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Sydney is third in the hierarchy? It could very well be she was investigating it just like you were. that would be my guess as well.

Yes, Sydney is third. She is also the only one of mine to hatch and raise little ones. I am thinking that she may be more attuned to the pullet distress call because of having been a mum. .

Some of us did after Christmas last year, it was nice!

It was great!

I can't find a way to express myself with sufficient delicacy in a language that isn't native, so please forgive me if I'm hurting some of you. I've been feeling several times that replying in chronogical order led to very painful situation when a chicken is very sick, and the wishes for improvement come after it has passed.

I don't know if there is a way to avoid this without reading backwards. Maybe to click on the person's name and check the more recent updates before replying ?

Yes it's hard, and I must owe Bob a million 'should have read ahead' (SHRA) tax

But darn it work gets in the way of my quality horse and chicken time!!!

Work is a 'four letter word' (insinuating that work is a foul word like the f bomb).

That is why I start at the end and work backwards

I've given up completely and beg everyone's forgiveness for not being conscientious on this thread. The other threads I can manage.

I just love having you pop in. Thanks for trying my friend.

I have fallen afoul of this myself. I'm not certain of an easy solution. I know that no one is going to be upset if you offer well wishes after something tragic has occurred. We all understand the spirit in which it is given.

There are times I also struggle with posting something funny or cute when some one is dealing with a difficult situation. I still pack that away and move forward. I think that everyone understands by now and I hope comes for some fun even in times of tragedy.
