Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

That looks very cozy. You may want to add things like stumps for them to jump up on.

I have been trying to find stumps for them. We cut a bunch if trees down, so there may be some stumps for them!

Please forgive me. I did mean him. I got distracted while writing that part of the post. I'm terribly sorry.

Oh no apology needed at all. I really appreciate your comfort.

Oh I forgot I had the best day with Dottie She sat in my lap while I pet her and hug her and held her and started falling asleep. Then Summer jumped on the other part of my lap so I had the 2 of them in my lap petting both and talking to both. The best afternoon with my girls.

She is back to riding but I can definitely see the accident has really shaken her confidence. She is not as keen to just hop on bareback and go riding by herself. She wants a saddle and someone with her. She was also fully released with no restrictions the first of December. I really thought she would be back to her old tricks of sneaking down to the ring and galloping him around it. She has yet to get him out of a slow gait. I know it is just a matter of time and she will be back to her old self. It is hard watching her mentally struggle. I have no clue what to say at times to help her as I have never had that bad of a accident. All I can do is hug her and tell her it is alright.

Getting right back on after a spill is supposed to help keep that from happening. Her circumstances were such that doing so was impossible. Now it's just going to take time. Your hugs and encouragement are HUGE, even if it doesn't feel like much. Has she done any trail riding with grandpa?

It sits right by my PC on my desk - but I was in bed at the time so I was winging it (pun intended)!


Talking of wings, does this make Bernadette a half-silver-duckwing? It is only on one side!

No. It's a bigger piece, mostly straight line when wings are folded and both sides have to match.

Ok Im bored everyone tax up (and there are a few of you) I need chickens to look at while Im waiting for my hubby to get home.

I don't think I owe any taxes, but I'll see what I can unearth for you....

From warmer days

Twirp (for @RoyalChick Whiting True Blue, new breed, not in standards yet)

Whiskey (buff orpington x EE father with mother either same mix as dad or a Colombian wyandotte: aka Bitsa)

Hector (black australorp)

Jessica (Rabbit) (golden wyandotte or golden laced wyandotte, like Sansa)

Silver, helping Pear shed her feathers (Colombian wyandotte (the white with black ring around neck/black tail feathers/wing tips is called Colombian and in several breeds including Brahmas where theyre just called Light) and partridge rock)

Blanche (White Sapphire, another new breed, term for the random dark marks is called splash, and is 2 copies of the diluted black that makes blue when a bird only has 1 copy, making her or PITA the mother(s) of Lark and Indigo)

Cheetah and Cuckoo (Gold-pencilled Hamburg (pencilling looks a bit different in the breed for some reason I don't know) and a Plymouth Rock who's markings look like what happens when barred x penciled)

Thing 2 (mottled Houdan: crested, bearded, muffed, V-combed, and 5 toed)

Nox (speckled sussex: sussex also come in white (actually Colombian marked) and a couple of others, I think)


ENOUGH! She says.

Blueberry's daughter Ducky. I think she is going to end up looking just like her momma.

My dad is hospitalized with Covid in China. I don't think it's very severe, but I am still worried to sick. I'd appreciate any good thoughts.

Sorry for being off topic.
