Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[cfonts]

Hi Everyone. It's been a while since I posted here, but I've been following along silently & have kept up to date. April was a tough month for me. I had experienced dealing with a sick rooster for the first time. It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions - some days I thought he was getting better and other days he got worse. It seemed like the medication prescribed helped him some, but I caught it too late and my sweet Roo passed away on April 27th. I think he knew his time was coming to an end. Roo was a very sweet rooster, but he wasn't the type who enjoyed being pet or handled, but on my last day with him, he stayed by my side and let me pet him. I think that was his way of saying goodbye to me It's been over a week and the pain is still very fresh.

I know I don't comment often, but I always try to "like" everyone's posts here. I wanted to let you all know that this reading thread has helped me get through the rough times when I was feeling down about Roo. I enjoy reading about peoples flocks and seeing photos of everyone chickens

He was very handsome and obviously loved dearly. Do you have other chickens?

I once had a cockatiel, he was a rescue and not at all sociable. He became very loving at the end. That brought me great comfort because he felt loved and showed me he felt this.

What a gorgeous boy! I'm sorry you lost him.

I tried going back.. but I can’t find anything.... what happened?

Shad had to return to the UK. He didn't want a fuss made. Hopefully he'll continue to pop in from time to time offering his wisdom & advice.

Photo Essay

I have been putting this one together for @Shadrach and the other Lilly fans. Here she is in her glory. This is an early morning photo session and I think she is just lovely in the early morning sun.
