Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

SHRA!

I think that means @Ponypoor owes tax!

SHRA!

Sheesh! ok here goes - the TAX

Curly, and Stanley and Roxanne - my two originals - I have a broken heart that I caused their demise - hard lessons to learn sometimes.

A Fox killed them both one evening - I hadn't brought them inside before I went up to the house - this is why I never let my gang run loose without me watching now. Too much heartache.

I paid

But here is some more tax

Babies this time - as that seems to be the theme for me at the moment!

Can you guess who everyone is

Such a lovely photo - I am so glad I enforced the tax rules on you.
So sorry how you lost them - I know exactly how you feel, that is how I lost Scary (Maggie's sister). I have never really forgiven myself.
It was how I came to join this thread 3 years ago.

I have had a lot of fun over the holiday reading all 328 pages of this thread and hope you don't mind me joining in. Thank you all for such a lovely thread - I have laughed and cried at all the ups and downs of Bob's chicken family and appreciate this group for its wisdom and humor, and for being such nice chicken-people. Sadly, as I got to page 326, a tragedy of my own struck. Through the window I saw a big fox heading towards the chicken coop. I rushed outside to scare it away I can't have been more than 2 mins behind the fox, but now one of my lovely family of four is gone. Shortly after, a neighbor came by to say he just saw a fox run by with a chicken in its mouth. It is dark so I can't even tell if it is Maggie or Scary that is gone. I also cannot figure out how the fox got into the run or the chicken got out. I am so sad, I feel like I let her down. I was going to introduce myself and my flock of 4 (now 3) but right now I am too sad.

Oh no I am so sorry

Such hard lessons to learn

I finally did it. I hired a personal assistant to monitor the progress of projects that I have been working on. . My personal health is in need of some attention. And the only way to keep up with everything, (and to keep doctors appointments), is to delegate.

Glad you took this step. Hope this helps you focus on your physical and mental wellbeing for awhile.

Well I am late to the party, @TX Chick Noob I hope that as I read forward, that all went well AND you got your pain med issues straightened out!

What a wonderful photo of your girl!! Lovely capture of her face- gorgeous comb, great composition, lovely lady!

Made it home. They say surgery went well. Have a metal plate on one bone and screws in both of them. Have a nerve block pump for three days to help control pain. Doctor also sent prescription for pain meds to a different pharmacy where they charged less than $5 without going through insurance. And I have a calf wrap that inflates to go on my other leg for several days to prevent blood clots. It is much smaller than ones I have had in hospital in the past, rechargeable and no tubes.
