Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Hi all? How is everyone?

Hey! I was going to see how your chicks were doing?

 

[Ponypoor]

I’m trying to sell some fertile Japanese bantam eggs. Any thoughts on the pricing?

Have you checked the hatcheries and Kijiji? see what they are going for?

Wish you were closer I would get a few (I know I said I would never hatch eggs but those I think I would be able to place the Roos).

Thanks! I’ll take a look there.

Once i get things figured out (how to ship, package, and pricing) I would be happy to ship you some if you would be interested. Not sure how long it will take to figure everything out though.

Russ got his feet done Thursday. This afternoon Rosie hopped on him and rode him a bit. When she was finished I decided it was time to see if my back would handle me riding. I was on at a walk for maybe 10 minutes. I learned something. First I am out of shape and my legs were like Jell-O when I got off. Secondly, even with numb legs, my back was not hurting. It's official, Rosie is going to have to share her horse, I want on him for a bit every time she rides him.

They are doing well!

One sprained a leg i believe but is doing well now. The introduction will begin shortly! I’m going to be putting them with the rest of the flock in a few days.

Oh this must mean the world to you! Such good news to hear you can ride again.

I love that!


What an invitation to post instructional pictures!!!

Here is Babs. She is brown and blue/grey with a black head. She has a very fluffy butt and an interesting feather pattern (maybe that is called lacing).

And this is Eli. She is black (as well as green and purple) with some gold flecks - some on her feather shafts, and others are lacing. She has a beard and muffs and is a cheeky photo bomber. She is also a little piglet and fearless in grabbing food and running off with it.

And feel free to muddle them up again as it gives me an excuse to post more photos of my Princesses!

Maybe it’s the lighting - when the sun reflects off them - the green in Bab’s legs is just gorgeous! Eli’s are probably as stunning, but in the shade it’s harder to see.

Ok everyone I have a Twig conundrum and may have to rehome him. Let me state this first, he is not aggressive at all and still a very good boy. The problem is Bubba and Branch do not like him and are trying to run him off. Twig is now taking his small harem of girls and leading them to places that is not safe and I do not want them to go to avoid the older 2 boys. He has them down at the barn, and has taken them across the road to the other hillside. I simply cannot have that. It is actually Bubba who is the main aggressor towards Twig. Twig is beautiful and my only Branch offspring and I do not want to rehome him, but, for his and some of my girls safety I probably will have to.
Twig this afternoon.

Things might settle down after spring. Maybe you could redirect him to a safer spot until the spring fever hormone issues calm down? Twig is so handsome, and he’s even gotten his own little band of ladies that follow him.
