Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Kris5902]

Wow, been absent for 3 days and a lot has happened. Royalchick has babies. They are so adorable. My grandmother got released from the hospital late Tuesday night. She flat out refused the week of in hospital rehab they wanted her to do. She now is staying with us and starting next week will do in home rehab 3 days a week. She is not happy about that, but it was the only way they would let her come home. She is having to use a walker and is not supposed to get up by herself. Well, me and mom are taking turns watching her around the clock as she tries to do it herself. I've already had to run and catch her once with her trying to sneak out of the bed. We are exhausted, and every day she keeps insisting she's going home in a few days. I'm letting that go in one ear and right out the other.

You know what… I love this! She’s stubborn and motivated to get home and fighting you (even though you and your mom are trying to do what’s best for her). I think it’s sort of a good sign, if frustrating, and maybe not the best situation… but at least she wants to keep going. I’d be more worried if she was giving up, complacent, and pliable.

It is special to be able to raise the little ones. But to help you feel a bit less wistful, let me remind you about the poop.
They poop a lot. I mean a LOT!
You don’t miss that I am sure.

Hahaha I bet you do the have horses!!!! They are like elephants, they continually eat, and poop!

I don't mind the poop as long as it's not that cecal poop Ona hay bale strings, it lovely grabbing that hahah

With all chickens, “It’s the poop that binds us”

Yep and it's good for the garden

Hello beautiful ladies! Aren't you pretty!

This girl is a real trouble maker! She has been one, ever since she was a little chick! At coop time, you can find her out across the yard, doing what ever she wants:

I collected all the ideas on this thread, you can take your pick from them! The final list is towards the end of the thread.

It's still a work in progress, but you can get a good view of the run here.

Wow that's an awesome run ! I love that it's covered too. I need it covered here - we have hawks, eagles and owls.
