Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Beautiful Warm Day
It was a beautiful warm day yesterday. So warm that Hattie was moving around the yard despite her arthritis.

She even hid from the sun in the shade at one point.

She seems to be getting around ok. Do you still give her Meloxicam?

Goldie missing, I counted 40, should be 41. I knew immediately it was Goldie, I only had the other 2 buff Orps in the hen house.

I looked high and low in the barn everywhere, in the stalls, on the stall walls, behind the lumber. Everywhere she just wasn’t there.

Found

As a last thought I went to check outside on Mount Poopmore. And there she was snuggled into a hole in the manure, I was totally freaked out. I always do a walk about on the manure pile to make sure no stragglers are out there. Thank goodness I do a head count at night. But I need to make sure they are all contained - there are just too many to worry over. I need to get the Rooster Run finished, get it so the escape artists can’t fly out. Keep everyone contained. And safe.

These chickens are more worry then the horses!

That was scary just reading it!

I found my CeeCee in the front yard again tonight. She can get over the fence somehow, but she can’t get back over to the coop yard. (Now I’m out of breath)

I went back to the coop and counted the chooks again.
Yep, there’s eleven of my birds, four more are nacho and three littles. I had to be certain that they all were safe.

Considering you have only a 3-head count w/ horses & 41 w/ chickens, no wonder they're a worry. We only have 6 hens & we're like helicopter parents!

Told you before...you need a taller fence...

How can you say this to me, after all the fun (sometimes confusing) years we’ve had together?

Bah, that's your usual get out of jail free card that you tell all us girls
Men, who'd have em

He is amazing! I'm sure he will grow on DH.

DH had better get used to it, if his lady has made up her mind
