Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

These broadband people are going into my bank account and they took 62 plus pounds off me again this month in the full knowledge I've disconnected their Internet due to them continuingly breaking their own contract. I sought help but it's still happening.


It's not so bad out here today is it Tina. No, at least we got outside so much better than yesterday

Get your bank to put a stop payment on it. And then get the bank to stop future withdrawls from them.

I must say your ladies are looking beautiful today - I barely had a chance to see my kiddos today - and now they are all tucked up in bed - hope there was less drama tonight going to bed! I didn't get a chance to see that....

I love tapioca - my grandmother would make it, and Byrd's brand Custard -

I tried that store bought tapioca but it was terrible - even the chickens wouldn't eat it hahaha!

I'm going to need tapioca tax from everyone involved in this conversation.

Everyone.

I am away from my desk (and the guide) right now but will update in the morning.
However I am going to try and see if I can get somewhere.
Both Orpington and Sussex are breeds and both come in different colors.
So I am going to guess that both speckled and jubilee are names of a color and that they are the same color.
That’s all I got without the guidebook!

Exactly. The Jubilee orpington was developed specifically for a royal Jubilee celebration, Queen Victoria's I think. That's why it's in the color-breed name. Just to make things more exciting, there's also mille-fleur, which is usually in bantam breeds only. It's also a tri-color. One of these days someone will name their SS or JO Calico because of the colors

Thank you.


Thank you. I did talk to him this morning. He is diabetic though.

Thank you. I am the worst daughter.

Awww - you are a good daughter - I know that just by hearing you talk about him to all of us.

drats - and I even mentioned my chickens wouldn't eat it!

Can I entice you with some Bison?

No ? sheesh tough crowd!

Ok here goes - the gang sleeping peacefully tonight - although I can only count 12 so hopefully the other kiddo is someplace warm...

 

[Ponypoor]

Every time he sees me walk up to him he tries to walk away. He has no interest in attacking me

He is doing what comes naturally with chickens - best to let them figure it out on their own. I only step in if its a real nasty fight or the roo is being very aggressive to the hen.

It was Queen Victoria's as I understand.

I saw! I was so eggcited I almost choked on my spaghetti hahaha

(Note: you are supposed to cook the spaghetti first)

Maybe that's why you keep getting muddy? Attempts to be speckled?
