Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ChicoryBlue]

I’m OK. I am just so sad for Bob and Mrs Bob. They both have such big hearts and this will hit them hard.

X2, I am sad for both Bob and Mrs Bob, DH and I know this scenario, it happened with us with a cat. Wish I could take their pain away. Wishing them strength and peace.

BY Bob and Mrs. BY Bob you both have my deepest sympathies for the far too soon loss of Legertha. My heart has broke this morning reading of her passing. If there can be any silver lining in this tragedy, and I fully understand it being too soon to look for a silver lining is that now maybe Phyliss will truly get her BFF in sweet Sylvie.

Hadn't thought of that possibility, thank you @RebeccaBoyd

Butter we need to have a talk. It's the middle of November and a lovely 28 degree's currently and you choose now to molt. Dare I even mention that the weather man is forecasting snow. 10 minutes before these pictures were taken and she came off the roost she had 3 tail feathers left. Those were lost with her first shake of the morning.

I Have No Words.

I think Legertha has passed. I can't be certain which of the littles it is from just the camera. She must have injured in an attack yesterday.

Spoiler: Passed Pullet

Well now she really looks like a Butterball

Both Gone

I believe from this video that they are both gone. Sylvie would have certainly reacted to Lilly's approach in some manner.

I may not be back to the thread until the weekend. I just don't know. I just don't know.

OML!!!!!!!!!

Read on, Sylvie was alive yesterday, had moved to the Hut into the nestbox. Phyllis roosted over her on the bar above, it looks like. No word this morning yet.

There's been no head count on anybody else I'm afraid. Wondering about the Bigs. Lilly is alive and checked on Sylvie when she was in the Main Coop nestbox, Sylvie was no doubt catatonic from shock at that point. But she managed to get to the Hut to roost. Don't know about any others, it was daylight when Lilly checked. Don't know who else roosted there. Don't know if Legertha was cold when found, just that Mrs. ByBob did get her.
