Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Pastel the Rooster]

Now I am thinking about bbq chips and how much I want a Plymouth Rock hen.

BBQ says, "I am no food. Although, if food was named after me, that's pretty cool!" And Splotch says" So rude. I'm a Barred rock (or Plymouth, either one works) mixed with a Black Australorp." And I say, "Splotch! Be polite!"

You are very smart young lady and although these sorts of conflicts are difficult, its good to learn how to gracefully (as possible) manage them now. Us grown ups (myself included) are inclined to say; this will evaporate when your older and minimize it but to tbh it doesn’t really go away completely. I would say it definitely declines significantly and becomes more hidden but it definitely doesn’t disappear completely. Handling conflicts will be a useful lifelong skill.

My unasked for advice is this: Stay as calm as you possibly can, avoid cursing (its just unnecessary and almost always makes things way, way worse), and choose your words carefully, words may not break bones but they can still hurt.

I have complete faith you will find a way to resolve this as peaceful as is possible.

Great advice

I sent her a text a few hours ago apologizing. I told her I was being mean (although I hardly was) because my dog was sick. It may be a slight lie, but its fine. I know I shouldn't lie, but no one ever needs to know. I needed to fix it, because she is popular, and could cause some problems for me. We talked and we both apologised, and said that maybe one day we could be friends. Thank you for the advice!

Big breath. We are here!
I don’t really have much useful advice except to stay calm and don’t let yourself get drawn in.
And a big word of encouragement - this stuff gets better. I dunno why young girls have to be so mean to each other. But is older ladies tend to be really kind and supportive to each other.

@Pastel The Rooster
I've met some ratty old bats, yes, a lot more older people can be on the nicer side but there's always the odd stirrer and I avoid them as much as possible.

My advice is be polite but keep your distance from the trouble makers.
Be honest by speaking your mind and don't let them drag you into conflict. Don't worry your head about silly people.

Rise above it all girl

I have had the worst day. My 13 year old dog that I have literally known the day my parents brought me home. Just died. I got picked up early from school, and I knew right when my name was called on the speaker. I am either gonna be on here constantly to try and forget, or I am not going to be here for a while. I will probably be on here a lot. I never said goodbye, because I didn't know that he was going to pass. It feels like there is a hole in my heart. I hate it when dogs die. I wish they could live forever

I'm so sad for your loss.

So she's a Plymouth Barred Australorp?

I got this.
I can say with some certainty that she is a chicken.

Yep.
And if it lays eggs, it's definitely a chicken.
