Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Imagine.......what do you mean imagine. I know !! If they are not boarded and you take care of them yourself, you very quickly learn their bathroom habits. You know in general how much they poop and it's consistency. Let them go a few hours to a day of minimal to no poop or get the runs. Panic kicks into overdrive and you are out there with a stethoscope listening to their heart rate, belly and taking temps while on the phone with the vet while daring them to even think of laying down or rolling.

Horse poop tax.

Oh ya is horse people are crazy! Poop is everything to us!

I will meet your silkie and raise you 2 silkies - Curly and Fluffy (the egg mamas) - and a broody silkie - Henny Penny - just checked those eggs and they are filling up fast!

Going to my horse lesson. I’m gonna tell my instructor that I wanna jump. I’ve jumped Lenny one time, and it was fun.
I missed Pony Sunday so here’s Lenny. Every time I try to put the bit in him mouth, he yawns. If I don’t let him finish yawning, he’s a devil for our lesson.

And before @Ponypoor yells at me about tax, here’s some wattles!
This was when I got the chicks, so Splotch was mad that I wasn’t giving her attention.

I have to follow my flight plan, otherwise I would switch and drop water bombs on your house!
(Where exactly is your house?)

It’s the one with the big red X saying ‘drop snow here’ - so your water will be ice before it hits - ow!

Last night roosting - wish they wouldn’t poop on the latch!

Please, do you have enough water bombs to drop on the whole Indian Wells Valley? If so, then drop them all over!

Another BFTP

Picture is kind of bad, but this is Plum and her chick Tweet. They both passed away.

Oh I tried that with Sophia’s one remaining tail feather - wow was it ever stuck in there! So I left it she was not happy with me trying to yank it out let me tell you! Maybe if I had hauled harder, but I figured it would also be loose!

Maybe it's not such a good idea to yank out feathers. It could maybe cause bleeding. They will all come out in time.
