Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[knoturavggrl]

But what about my jokes, puns and other stuff? Am i out of a job?

Oh heavens no, keep em coming! ❤

Like so?:

- BY-Bob's gals continue to have bed-time drama, he has been staying out of the frey and letting them work it out themselves.
- Rebeccaboyd's marchmallows are now ~6weeks of age, Mama Chiquita is showing no signs of leaving them.
- Rebecca also sold off 3 of the 4 babies for 'Bat-crap-crazy-Momma-Hen', leaving one lone pullet whom BCCM-Hen now won't wean!
-RoyalChick's lovely Eli is still roosting in the penthouse, and presented her with an odd dropping, RC is observing closely to ensure no illness is brewing.
- Pastel the Rooster is not hatching eggs, rather her riding instructor is hatching the eggs she gave to her instructor.
- Valarie has a dozen Silkie eggs in the incubator and as of 28 Feb they were there 3 days. An update to be provided next week's synopsis.

..... and so on and so forth... ?

Exactly so! Wonderful example, thank you

I will be guided by Bob, but I am happy to give it a go. We can have a rota.
I actually had fun doing it when Bob was away. The trick is to write it as you go so you don’t have to go back.

Oh absolutely, it is his thread to sew , I just saw the concern of not being able to keep up with the thread brought up a few times and hope to help a little is all. We will see what he thinks of Ponypoor’s example and go from there or drop it as he sees fit.

Nope keep them coming I am sure someone will see them!

They are so cute.

Oh she is cute - but she is driving me to my wits end! She has decided that she is in fact an eagle who can fly anywhere.... (and there, another song - Fly like and eagle to the sea)

Bernie is wondering how she let Eli bamboozle her out of the dried cat food at the bottom of the bowl.

Eli missed her chance to ruin my shoe. She did produce something. It was not quite normal - too liquid - but better than yesterday’s weirdness.
She is still drinking more than feels natural but maybe a tad less so than yesterday.

Spoiler: Thursday poop

Well I guess it's not the most eggciting poop ever but it doesn't look too terrible...

Hopefully you have since received another to compare with...

 

[Ponypoor]

So you are suggesting a thread secretary?

An esteemed position to be directed by HRH Aurora, The Queen of FBA

Kinda lol, just a very brief highlights post once a week. Just the facts, I agree with RC on that point 100% and only about chicken related posts, personal stories/details wouldn’t be included.

I figured if a few of us rotated doing it, it would be reasonable. perhaps it may help those that just can’t check in as often?

Can you tell I was a process improvement/ workforce analyst before I quit to raise my kiddos? Totally not obvious at all right?

I for one like the thread the way it is

That looks much better. I expect she will be pooping normal by tomorrow.

 

[BY Bob]

Maybe in a small animal crate for 30 min to see what she produces?

I would avoid that if at all possible. She will catch her pooping eventually. They do it a lot.

I'm not taking a turn so if someone else wants to volunteer to take this on far be it from me to stop you. I would like you to try and stick to chickens if possible but you would be the ones doing it. So it's not really up to me what you want in it.

Exactly, I do too! Hence my idea which wouldn’t change a thing at all. Its just a single post once a week that gives a synopsis of the weeks goings on, nothing more.

Hope so. I am again 100% sure she is eating. She just grabbed a shrimp from Bernie’s beak and swallowed it whole before Bernie could grab it back.
I know all chickens are motivated by food, but Eli is in a class of her own. She has perfected a strategy where she barges at great speed into the middle of the food and grabs the biggest item and runs off with it.
I tried to get video of it but she is too fast for me.
