Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

but if I will lift one of them up when hand feeding wouldn't it scare the shit out of them and they won't want to come to eat treats from hand again?

They'll come back, maybe warily at first, but they'll come back

i do know them chickies are time thieves i spend 2 hours with them everyday

I bet funny how time flies when you’re with them isn’t it?

 

[Ponypoor]

really ? i thought they see only 300 degrees

Trust me like my mother and my grandmother them there chickies have eyes in the backs of their heads hahahaha!!!!

Or maybe I am just too noisy and can’t sneak up on them haha

did they scream like crazy ?
how did you calm them ?

No, they struggle at the beginning then most have sat there comfortably. My smallest is not to happy at first but settles after a while.

When Bella’s situation is resolved I need a charm offensive with Bernadette. Lulu has never been in my lap but she seems willing to jump on my arm and once my back without encouragement.

Nox flew up to my upper back last night. I was standing up....they were supposed to be headed to roost....I was a desirable roost?

I have a sad update, Nickels passed a hour ago. It is so hard raising newborn kittens. We have successfully done it in the past, but we have also lost some as well. The poor little guy had everything stacked against him though. When he was found he was already covered in maggots and my brother's girlfriend did not think the momma let him nurse at all to get the colostrum. I feel really bad for my brother, he and mom were taking shifts with him. When it was evident he was passing my brother sat there holding him with tears rolling down his face as he passed. My brother is the type of person who does not cry around anyone.

So sad. please give him our condolences. It was great that you all tried.

Buttercup scares the living daylights out of me one day, she flew up onto my arm while I was walking carrying their morning mash!!!

I was so afraid she would fall off and hurt herself! But she balanced there perfectly - crazy chicken.

And misty jumped on my back when I was bent over putting down feed, and then wouldn’t get off - I posted the video of that way back when in the winter hahaha.

Oh Rebecca so sad to hear this - yes that is a lot for a wee kitten to overcome your brother sounds like a very caring person
