Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sylvester017]

My BR doesn’t have a nice comb and wattles like Focus. Wonder why?

Because turn-of-the-century 1900's Dominiques had both straight combs & rose combs ~ the straight combs branched off as BR's while Dom's branched off as rose combs ~ there will be wild anomalies of how combs will turn out in both breeds (The American Dominique: a Treatise for the Fancier by Mark Fields)

A nice evening

More videos plz! You know how I love the littles.

Most of the girls ran to hide when Rosario flew across the field. Good girls to pay attn!

Daisy is a looker!

He is SUCH a looker!

A gorgeous little boy. If only he was a girl.

My grandfather did not mean it and did not see her fly off the porch as he was pulling in. He is a wreck and was in tears but it was truly an accident. She is buried beside Bubba under their favorite Mimosa tree.

Oh no!
Rest in peace Blueberry.
So sorry. For you and your grandfather.

Glad she is enjoying herself. Hopefully your weather holds so she can get lots of outside time.

It's looking doubtful. I just hope she will stop moulting soon
This is worrying, we are almost at the time where our weather get colder. The good new is she's eating really well and her is almost back to normal

Mr P looks like he is doing pretty good today.

I just caught him roaming about in the Summer House, and having a snack with Henny Penny.

Maybe another dose of Tylenol tonight and see how he gets on tomorrow.

This morning Mr P is doing well, I didn't give him any more Tylenol - I want to see how he gets on without any pain relief.

Meanwhile he is absolutely terrified of Mr LC, who has decided to take advantage of this and add further distress to the poor wee Mr P. After I locked Mr LC away, Mr P came on out into the main barn with his ladies and did his usual morning thing of digging through horse poop and watching over his ladies.

I am hoping once he is completed his moult he will feel much better and not run from Mr LC. The other 2 youngsters (Shorley and Clyde) don't bother him and in fact hang out with him.

The plan for today is to (as usual) let them out for the day, and see how Mr P does, he seems a bit sore still when walking, not sure if that's his poor toes/feet, or residual effects from being attacked. Either way I will see how he gets on, and if I feel he needs longer term pain meds I will ask my Horse Vet to order in some Meloxicam for him. Between him, Red, Sharpie, Ruth, the two old horses Truly and Lulu, and me we are all a walking pharmacopeia!

Yep they can't stand him truthfully. Poor fella! Daisy has the most interesting feather pattern - I think Rural Mouse would say it's 'penceling' - likely I am wrong. but it's interesting.
