Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

She does to a point apparently. I took the kids out to see the peeps and after the kids lost interest and quiet returned out they came. Brownie let them explore and peak out me.

And then I got to brave and went to far, I picked one up.

This was a grave error. Brownie came off the nest after me just as I took that picture. I was so startled I immediately put it back and said sorry to a CHICKEN!! She got right back in with a huff that clearly said your darn right you are!

I'm sorry I could not help it. Welcome to my world with Momma Hen. You have now been initiated into the world of having a bat crap crazy momma. Enjoy every minute of it, those momma's try your patience every day but really do make the best mothers. No one, and I mean no one is going to mess with her chicks.

And on that note, it is time to shuffle the momma's and chicks to bed. I wonder if I will be as lucky as yesterday with momma hen already put up.

And DON'T let your neighbors teen age boy drive! He hit my fence last night, and now I have to rebuild a section of it. (Hence my lack of sleep)

We have idiots here that take out corner house fences. I've seen at least two.

Thank you for the chick fix!

Just for you

I am having issues typing my arms are sore from doing some fixing of things in the barn.

My youngest was the worst driver ever. She bent 4 different rims, a control arm and tie rod all in different incidents. Put out a trail light backing up. Sideswiped a parked car and rear-ended someone requiring a new bumper and hood. All in 6 months.

However she now is an excellent driver. I can actually relax while she is driving. She is the only person in the family with whom I feel safe.

My oldest once rear-ended me at a stop light. This was after I had called my youngest and had her relay the message that my oldest was following too close and was going to hit me!

As far as I know I'm decent with driving. I used bikes a lot. I did smash into my sister once on a bike. She got mad at me. The next day she mostly forgot.

I do that all the time. But I shouldn't be coerced into dishonesty by tech designers. Instead, I should be able to dictate the ethics of my conduct.

Never use your real birthday when making an account. I never do. Same goes for my name. And phone numbers. I do not have a phone number and find it discriminating when companies ask for one to sign into my accounts. I am now locked out of my Samsung account thanks to forced two factor authentication.

I'm pleased to see that I'm not the only one who goes out in my pajamas to tend to my chooks. Who has time to get dressed when there's chickens wanting attention?!

I won't sleep unless I check on the chooks.

Exactly.

You are obliged to be a liar.

You mean if she comes off on her own or if I pull her out? She hasn’t come out today at all so far. She came out yesterday but I didn’t see her until she came outside where I was sitting and where Babs was chowing down Artemesia.

On her own

 

[notabitail]

Exactly.

You are obliged to be a liar.

And I hate it. If I want comments on a YouTube video I have to label it for older people. I find that offensive. Oh, and those "use your parents email" things. I have two emails. Works great for beating the system.
