Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ribh]

Tragedy

in the joy of new life and their first time out in the big world, tragedy struck the chicks today.

Dusty fell in the pool today and before I could get to her she was gone. It was so fast. I had just named them today.

I'm so sorry Dusty. Rest in Peace poor baby.

@BY Bob @WhoDatChick @RebeccaBoyd losses are always painful, chicks especially so.

Oh no! I'm so sorry Bob. Goodbye Dusty. A short life, but a good life spent putting smiles on faces.

Pools out here have to have a protective fence around them - mainly to keep kids, etc. from unauthorized use /drowning. Have been some very expensive law suits filed. Our pool season is so short, it's not even worth having one.

Same here. Any deep water is required to be fenced if the public can access it.

Poor little Dusty.
A pool is a major hazard.

Scott attaching an exit door for the babies from the brooder into the coop. The instinct to help with DIY starts at an early age!View attachment 2208785

It sure does. So cute. I love their DIY instincts.

We lost our sweet Bananabelle last night... she had an egg prolapse and I was able to get the egg out/off and tried to get the tissue back in but I believe we were to late.. she died over night... and yes, of course she was our favorite View attachment 2208788View attachment 2208789

Sadly I know it far too well.
