Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

My nerves are shot.
They definitely found it harder to come down from those rafters inside the coop.
I resolved that if they weren’t down by 8:30am (an hour after normal wake-up) that I would brave using a ladder and a shovel handle.
Just before 8am Babs came down.
She flew through the open door to the run (thank goodness I thought to open it up last night just in case). That gave her 27’ of runway and she used every inch of it.
It was like standing by the runway when a 747 comes in to land. Quite an experience!
No sign of Eli.
Babs went straight back into the coop and up on the big roost and talked Eli down.
Eli used the helicopter method - going more or less vertically down to the main roost with a lot of flapping. She missed and kept on down getting herself tangled in one of the ladders on the way. Not very elegant but she seems unharmed.
Here are the two of them recovering from their experience and I am back indoors asking myself if it is inappropriate for me to have a nip of whisky with breakfast to help me calm down.

I am not going to interfere in their roosting tonight!

You have to have nerves of steel with these pets of ours! I thought chickens would be nice a mellow after the drama with the horses - not so!

Well they look non the worse for their antics - I would say a nip of whisky would be fine

If Jaffar will make it that long. His coughing and sneezing is getting worse.

Sorry to hear that, I am thinking good thoughts!

My stress levels are too high today!
A long list of things that have to be addressed and it’s overwhelming!

Write it down, and prioritize... you can only do what you can do.
