Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LaFemmeKatia]

Oh no! I am so very sorry for your loss. How upsetting for you!

Thank you. It’s good I can tell you guys. I tell my family members and they are respectful of course, but I know they think “it’s only a chicken”.

Yeah, had to think about that. Pretty sure they are here too. Not sure why I thought that. Probably just thinking of the kids. Wasn't thinking right at all there for a while. That was a bad bug. Still coughing. And my nose.

But it sounds like you are improving and that's good. Give your body some time to finish it off.

All looks good. I’m waiting on a final flight check of my landing gear, then I’m off to California, perfect conditions for flying tonight. Lots of work to do tomorrow at home (and I want to see my chickens again)

Please stay safe. Let us know when you get there.

Originally I wanted some Wyandottes, but when you hatch a mixed flock you never know what you'll get. We decided that we have enough room for six and will get wyandottes later. Here are my beloved Ees.

Aurora's new minions or successors of Maleficent?

Let's hope Maleficent!

The flight didn’t take too long. An awesome tailwind kept me and my passenger safe. Jaime is back home now, and so am I. All the birds are safe and lovely as they ever were. Bob, thank you for caring. Without reservations, I love you and your family!

Have a safe flight!

Kat, I’m home safe and sound now. Thanks friend

Those who say “it’s only a chicken “ never had one or experienced the love they share with us!

Exactly. I raised these girls from day old chicks. I kept their heat in their brooder exactly so, I fussed over their pasty butts, gave them vitamins and electrolytes. I kept their brooder in my room so I could be a helicopter mom.
I’m so fussy over their food and treats.
I did everything I could to keep them safe.
Now I’m wracking my brain trying to think if the coop isn’t safe enough. Did she have an accident getting on the roost? It’s depressing.

My road-runners between the two of them lay an egg most days but not all and sometimes they both lay an egg. So I know both are laying and I am guessing 3-4 times a week.

That's very good. About 180 a year.
