Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

One of the turkeys is injured. Perhaps that’s why they have not moved on. One is limping and appears to have something hanging down it’s chest, maybe a flap of skin or something. I thought I saw that yesterday , but it was too hard to tell.. Since I see it again today, along with the lamp, I’m pretty sure I got it right. Poor thing.

Look at all that wonderful space you have! I love it! I pay $2800 to rent modest, rustic home that I don’t even own. As much as I love it here, I might need to be open to moving out of the area someday... maybe in retirement.

It's all relative really (we're in quite different economies) but if that's a monthly figure, it's more than my mortgage repayments. The important question is whether you're living a good life

She really is a cute one, but she is not telling me anything about her name!
I confess I had a cat once called No-Name because he showed up one day, refused to tell me his name, stayed for a couple of years, and then moved on.

I think she wants to be called Fudge.

 

[MaryJanet]

I feel the same way, nothing is really sticking out yet.

I've been thinking of Pearl, but I'm not even sure of that. I do like old lady names for my chooks. I've thought about Elvira too.

Fudge suits her.

Or maybe I just want to eat some fudge...??

Broody Update

For everyone who was excited to see Phyllis hatch (count me in this group), I have bad news. She gave up the nest.

I guess she decided it was not a much fun as she thought it would be. She has been off all day and it's 3 pm. Besides a fashion plate like Phyllis can't be weighed down with children.

I must admit, I'm kind of disappointed. I think she would would have cut a fabulous figure with chicks. Alas it is not to be.

She out again unencumbered by children.

Fair enough Phyllis, live your own dream!

To be honest, I was a little worried about pecking order shenanigans.

You better share. I like fudge also

Myrtle? Myra?

I’m invited to patrol with my sheriff friend tonight. So I’m gonna go. I love the adrenaline rush of a code 3. All the birds are safely put back in the barn/coop
Sorry, but law enforcement is still in my blood!

Ooh Pokemon, thanks to my daughter I know this lol. There is one pokemon name that can be a play off of Marans. It's Mareanie.
