Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

We just happened to have wooden eggs. They believe they are real. Gaby will flare her hackles if she sees one.

I use golf balls - they love their golf balls And my silkies were very happy when their golf balls hatched.

Everyone thought they would be putters and they were right! hahaha!

(get it? putter... pullet... ?)

My computer was just being stupid. It showed you as a different user but it sounded like you so I asked!

I lost the little silver based americauna chick overnight. I was worried about that one. Even though I insisted the employee show me butts I somehow missed that it had a bad case of pasty butt. I did not catch it until it had been home about 3 hours. I got it all cleaned off eventually but it was like cement when found. At least the poor little chick had a real momma hen for a day. The rest are doing well and it is cemented in Raven's head that all those chicks are hers.

Sorry the little one didn't make it

My computer has these kinds of brainfarts. Yesterday it said that notabitail was you...

Nope tis me - fellow nice gal Canadian.

How's the smoke out there? really bad here, and really windy (not helping with the fires north of here let me tell you), I was just out with the sillkie babies and the wind was almost blowing them off their wee feet - but they have learnt to not stand broadside to the wind.

LIke a boat on the water, always face into the wind/waves! otherwise woooops! over you go!

Yep you are d4mn right - sorry but I have extremely strong views on animal (and people) welfare.

BRB got escapees.... get back here you little turnips!
Damn I almost rolled my chair over the Tweens - CHIIICKEENNNS

OK YES I am more than a bit ticked of. So you can all call me all the names you want I don't care, sometimes I just get fed up

I admire your being blunt. Sometimes I wish I could just tell people no and they'd back off.
I have had people tell me "My chickens don't have personality, but my ducks do". I just go on and on about how friendly my chickens are and how they have their own personalities and the such. Sometimes I change a mind, other times people still think they are just eggs and food.
I have gotten one family close to getting some chickens. I'm sure they'll love them when they get them.

The smoke is nonexistent. I heard of all the fires in Quebec, as well. No smoke, but one morning I woke up to ash on the car.

What I am doing now, is making her as comfortable as possible. I put on a silk shirt, and my softest sweat pants. And just holding her close to me. I invite her to taste water or food I have prepared (no success with that) and we are having the deepest conversations I have ever had with her.

She is in the best hands possible - those that she trusts. I know you will care for her properly. 7 is a goodly age for any chicken, but a Leghorn well that's just good care from you I am sure.
