Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Nope going down to 21°F (-6°C) tomorrow night. Nothing unusual.

@Ponypoor it's been cold & windy here, 13F (-10C) this morning at 8am, got up to barely 18F (7C) in the sun at midday, now down back to 10F (-12C). Everybody was pretty fluffed out today.

@Ponypoor, did you get new hens? I thought I saw something about you getting stuck with a hen that isn’t a Brahma?

I might have to skip through Delaware too.

How is your family doing? I hope things are improving or stabilizing!

Put the photos on a flash drive. You don't have to look at them, but they're there so you can look at some point if you need to.

Bert is NOT Floyd. Their personalities are not the same. Bert also does NOT have a brother (or more boys) to push him into spats.

Tuff is Horus' son. However, he isn't teaming up with the older boys to pester the ladies. He lost Zulu and then Granite early enough to not be in full hormonal idiocy. As such, he has NEVER (that I've seen) needed to be thoroughly walloped like Horus and Kren needed to be. The most I've seen is one of the adults chase him....for about 5 steps. Then the adult stops and he goes a couple more, giving space. The adults recognize he is retreating and Tuff recognizes their authority. Now, spring is coming and hormones will be at their peak then. The 2 idiots were showing signs (hindsight and all that) of being problems. Tuff isnt....at this point.

Bert won't hit that year mark until fall....when hormones aren't as high. He'll be at the end of the worst idiocy range by the time next spring comes. I think he's much less likely to be a problem, and his fall hatch is actually a blessing for this (offsetting idiocy vs springtime).

What a gorgeous Moggy - and he knows it I bet

Stuck? That seems harsh.

….and they will lord it over me that they can lay eggs and feed the country! I am just a mere Hooman!

I am looking at getting a trio of Midnight Majesty Marans, 30th April is the first deliver date for up here. If I am lucky I will have some broody pullets - maybe Tippy or Butterscotch, they keep looking for strange places to lay eggs!

Get down you two!

Attracting ladies? All you need is a nice car, and a well designed suit. (And a big wallet)

Not for me....

I know...taxes

Oops my bad! Sorry!

Well heck! No wonder it took me so long to get home once from Lexington at a horseshow!

Someone suckered me into dropping their horse off at their place somewhere in PA - told
me it would be on my way home. It took me hours more to get home!

Beautiful going through all the hilly country (though hauling the horse trailer was a bit scary on some of the steep downhill sections!), but I didn’t even get a thank you from them! Or compensation for fuel! Sheesh!

And toll roads! I never again drove anyones horse anywhere.
