Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

That blue hen is Storm. I just watched her make Pear back off. As she's no longer brooding babies, I'm thinking she might have taken the top spot in spite of raising babies when Silver passed. I need to watch her with PITA as P is a spit fire. I had been thinking Pear (oldest) had taken the top spot, but now I'm not so sure. Now that most are at least in the latter phases of moulting and no one is broody, I need to watch for a while.

You may NOT have either Storm or Whiskey. Whiskey is a gentle, wounded hen hovering roo, and worth his weight in gold. I would be willing to let you have some eggs.

Eggs would be nice

Knew I should have swung by your place last winter on my way home

PonyPoor, that’s one thing many people here have, it’s GAWL. No money, but overflowing with GAWL!

Sometimes I feel people don’t even realize what they do or how they act

(Isn’t that a great word though? Gawl… hardly ever used, but it is a great word!)

Isn’t it gall?

Always an option.... you could at least get some hamburg mix....

Well, after feeding them a scoop from the meal worms farm, some plantain chips, and refilling water spots, I can state re: ranking order that they are NOT cooperative today. 1/2 of each interactive party was either busy elsewhere (dust bath) or stayed on opposite sides of whole group. Storm is pushing Pear, Whiskey pushing Blanche and PITA, otherwise elders are pushing youngers.

Taking Sherlock for another walk, then may try again before starting prep for clam chowder.

Used all the time in hospitals. “Yes doctor, I believe you are correct. That gallbladder has to be removed!”

I would love to go play a game of miniature gall! Would you? ️

Like a SeaGall ?

You could try that for a few days and see if her behaviour changes.

Can Tres see them in the small coop? So he isn’t stressed being alone, or put his sister with him.

I may owe some SHRA tax so here it is

They are so darn cute and that frizzle

Ah, bays are amazing. Very underrated. People like “fancy” colors like dapples and paints, but they forget about bays.
Now, I’m not one to speak because I do love a good paint or appaloosa, but bays are stunning too.
If I ever get a horse when I’m older, you won’t be seeing me with a grey! Ugh! Whenever I had to bathe Lenny to get ready for a show, I had to scrub him for HOURS! Before and after, because he rolls after baths.
We have a couple of the track horses. I’ve never ridden them, but I’ve heard that they can be difficult. I do love getting to know animals personalities.
Today I am going to the barn again to say goodbye to Lenny. My instructor is going to let me ride him one last time, which I think is very nice, and she doesn’t have to do that. I found out where he is moving. I’m not going to say the exact place, just for safety, but he is going to be about 2 1/2 hours away from my house. I doubt I’ll ever visit him though.

Splotch and BBQ will be right on me for food, but I dare move an inch to pet them, they will jump and run away. BBQ has been a bit sweeter though lately, I was able to tickle her crop area yesterday.

I love Mr. P! He is so cute! I can’t stand it! He and Phyllis are the reason I wanted Polishes! I wanted blue eyes or buff laced ones more than the W.C. Black ones, but they were the only ones available, so I got them. Well, my dad is the one who saw the W.C. Black Polishes and pointed them out to me.

I love bays. Put 4 white feet and a blaze on a bright bay and that there is some eye candy. Truthfully though there is no bad color on a good horse. My least favorite color is chestnut. I've stated it multiple times, the world knows it. Best horse we have is Russ a gleaming copper red, so is life. To me the perfect color is a buckskin, I love them. My 2nd favorite is a nice dapple grey with a black mane and tail. Sadly though with the greying process they are only my ideal color for a few years before they turn white.
