Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Looks like I will be preaching this Sunday. Pastor is sick, his wife is sick and our worship (music) leader is also sick

Maybe I should preach about the loss of loved ones and how The Lord has a special plan for everyone

I told hubby to pick up some chicken and vegetable baby food puree on his way home. When he had his last food strike baby food helped him come around. Although that was a hormonal one because he started when the kid was born and it took almost 8 months to break.

He had something happen this summer, maybe a heart attack or stroke? He was very agitated, black beard, puked, just very out of character for a day then stopped. There aren't many vet options in the area and we thought at the time he had eaten a stinkbug or something nasty. He's done that before too, ladybugs and stinkbugs look delicious and make him throw up.View attachment 4010176

Poor wee fella, he’s a grand elderly gentleman isn’t he - I hope you can get some more time with him.

We spend lots of time w/ our birds & have the retirement luxury of observing them thru the glass door when they aren't aware we're watching. & by far our most intelligent & sweet alpha hen has been our White Leghorn. She was 4-1/2 lbs of quiet hen but defended title
against a bully 6-1/2 lb Marans.

It's just a shame the Leghorn hens battle a huge vision impairment comb that flops over one side eye or the other. The Leghorn roos have straightup standing combs but not the hens. Another discouraging fact is that prolific egg-laying White Leghorns have very high reproductive issues as w/ any prolific egg-layer.

As much as these handicaps are for the Leghorns they are worth having & ours was very quick to learn that my garden trowel turns over earthworms in the garden beds ~ my girl came running from across the yard when she saw a trowel or shovel in my hand!

I had to stop letting my gang out on Mount Poopmore! They started excavating the base of the pile strewing manure all over the place! But I feel guilty that they can’t dig for yummy bugs, I might make an exception and let them out to dig around a bit on Boxing Day.

It will be milder then so they say….

At 3:15 pm Shenron passed away. He had a bath, and was wrapped in a towel for cuddles. He seemed uncomfortable so I slipped him onto his basking tile where he had a big sigh and passed on. Kiddo got to pet him today before he passed, at least. She is very sad right now.

Oh no - I am sad to hear this, but I have to say you did a wonderful job keeping him healthy to his wonderful advanced years. I bet not many can say they were able to do this.

I hope you take great pleasure in knowing you gave him a lovely life.

Oh dear, everyone is getting Sick now with some virus or such.

I think that would be a lovely sermon

My pastor is sick, but not sick enough I guess. He brought me some lumber panels to make a separate coop for the Randy roosters! He promised me that he and his wife would go straight to bed when they get back home. Twenty miles from my ranch
