Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Very much so, and what a horrible thing to do to a chook. I had no idea it was even a thing until I was going through this thread!
Maybe that’s why she’s prone to a bit of a dirty bum...

No, full-beaked chooks can also have dirty bums!

She seems to be feeling a little off and is keeping her distance from her friends.

Mine react that way as well. It has to be super uncomfortable. Additionally, try to imagine how annoying those other hens can be talking about how pretty their feathers are all the time.

I tried the computer as well. Still can't see all the photos. ☹

It must have something to do with the copy and paste. I'll upload them again tonight.

The only one I can see is the buxom wench in the spoiler.

The copy-and-paste hasn't worked properly. I'll upload them again tonight in bulk (plus more chicken tax!)

He only does it right at the beginning..

I hear the crows in the background and at about 18 seconds I hear one do a little trill warning. Must've been a hawk or other predator around.

I'm looking forward to it. Thank you for doing this. I know it's a pain and it is wonderful that you are willing to share.

That's ok! It was nice to reminisce, although there were a few pics of ex-boyfriends that I haven't got around to throwing out yet!

How can anyone take offence over a request for nappies/diapers?! I agree that FB can bring the worst out in people. Can you give us an example for entertainment’s sake?

Yes I would love to see an example of that kind of behavior!

If anyone does, I will let you know how it goes... I would guess stealing the resources from precious children, or a comment about DH and I being childless? You really never know what is going to set some people off here.

I asked if the road to the farm was “passable” a few days after our snowstorm, if there were any trees down across it. It turned into an all out keyboard brawl. I took it down after a few hours, and then the people “discussing” the safety began putting up trolling postings to support their opinions on the road safety and tagging me in their posts. (I blocked a few people that day, that I hardly even know). Other fun “explosions” have happened over innocent inquiries about buying a type of knitted wool sweater from local artisans, that’s apparently cultural appropriation. Can we open the rec center to people in need during the 4 day power outage for hot meals and cellphone charging? Rec center committee went with Covid says no... stay home and freeze if you have electric heat/stoves that’s too bad (it’s our emergency shelter building with big generators and propane appliances). That escalated quickly. A young woman’s choice in relationships was publicly paraded and demeaned... that became a name calling/bullying situation that it took four days to have removed by FB.

And again... so grateful everyone here is so respectful, even when discussing things we don’t agree completely on.

That is so sad. Humans are so disappointing at times.

It’s why I don’t generally post or get involved in the Facebook forum.
