Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

New ps4 game

Either that's really strange or I am.

It's probably me.

Only time I am not safe is when I’m up 6000ft. And I’m a cross wind. (But I’m a pretty good pilot so..) but thanks

oh my i thought that you were fleeing from something i had no idea you were a pilot!!

The storm has passed and the rain has stopped. We got a little over 6” here so everything is very soggy and muddy except the Chicken Palace which is nice and dry (well apart from the two areas where I still need to finish my drainage pipes).
So I let the Princesses out into their yard. With the wet and the heat everything has grown a lot so Maggie’s little paths through the long grass got overgrown. She went right to work clearing the paths.

I am worried about Elizabeth.
She continues to lay very brittle shelled eggs and sometimes no shell at all.
At least I know she is getting the eggs out because they make a hell of a mess in the nest box. But she isn’t full of zip like normal. Nothing terrible just a bit subdued. And she just delivered a poop that was like pure water.
I will check her crop in the morning to see it is emptying properly.
I may be overly worrying - several of the Princesses have had liquid poops now and then and I think she is starting to molt, so maybe it is OK. But something tells me she isn’t quite righ.
Elizabeth and her fluffy butt.

She sure does look like my Emily!

Orange County Va? I live about five minutes from the airport here.

Sounds very low to me. Take off and landing territory I would think. I have 100' trees around me so that is only one trees-worth above the treetops if you see what I mean?
But of course I have no idea what I am talking about!

Speaking of.. I’m no bush pilot from Australia. I do go low over areas of the Rockies, to avoid heavy crosswinds

Today is my first day of uni, wish me luck!

Stay calm and positive! You'll love it. Universities are designed for learners and if that's part of your identity, you'll thrive!

this is a very inappropriate post and it needs to be taken down immediately

For anyone who wondered what happened here, this was not meant to be posted on this thread. It was meant for a different thread.

Yes - I have drainage and a sump pump. The house I lived in before this one - same area and even older (the main beam was just a tree trunk) actually had a spring running through the basement.
I think in its day it was probably quite convenient - fresh running water in the house!
It was sort of fine in that it didn't really flood that much it just babbled on out of there.
The real issue was that the cats would catch fish and snakes out of it and bring them upstairs.

What an amazing home it must've been!

I can see their daddy coming through in both boys. They are learning how to strut and pose for the camera just as he did.

Is Bubba being a better young man now? They are all handsome boys.
