Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Hmmm is this a SHRA tax or no? Did Bob borrow my idea on collections or is it a “great minds” situation? Must stay tuned To find out! (And this is what happens when you live several hours behind everyone else and don’t check in to the chicken site often enough during the day! You post everything at midnight or later most people’s time!

I was a whole day behind. So SHRA and great minds?

It can be very subtle. How about BY_Bob?

I don't like underlines.

OMG, @BY Bob that is the best pic of TGHE! I the close-up head shot, she looks so regal with her 'crown' of comb!

Couple of very nice Fluffy bum shots in there, too!!

Very appropriate for Friday.

I have that picture of Daisy on all my devices. I just love it. Plus she was in my lap. It's a special memory.

Something puzzling to me. Everything you read says chick brooder temperature should be 95f in week one and reduce by 5 degrees each week. So I should be at 90.
I know the whole logic is different using a heat plate because they press up against it when they get cold.
But during the day the Hooligans almost never go to the plate. Their ‘hang out’ is on top or on one of the branches.
The room is 70-72 degrees depending on whether the sun is aging in the window. That is nowhere close to 95.
It is very strange.

So first off I have to say omg so cute

Next - it's a good thing I didn't know any of this temperature stuff with my niece's chicks hahaha. I just kept them in a huge animal crate in the feedroom/ office with one of those brooder plates. The office is around 65f, and during the day when I was working the brats would have free roam in the office!

I guess when they were cold they would go warm up... I don't know! I don't recall....

The only thing I worried about was rolling over them with my office chair eek. If they needed a specific temp I didn't know about it.

Now I am all freaked out that I may have caused them undo stress

Leaving the next batch to be raised by Henny Penny was way easier

Rosie visited the high school yesterday. She has looked forward to this all year and enjoyed herself. While they were there they went ahead and signed up for their classes for next year and she brought the paper home for me to sign. I was slightly shocked by the classes she chose, but am very proud of her choices. Next year she will have AP English 1 and Biology *needed a teacher's referral to get into this one*. Her Math class will be determined towards the end of the year. She has taken Algebra 1 this year and maintained a 99 to 100 all year and the final week of school she'll take a test to see if she is going to go into Algebra 2 or AP Algebra 2. She wants the AP Algebra. I asked her why she chose the harder classes all on her own. She says if she wants to graduate with the National Honor Society requirements she has to have them, plus they look good on college applications. I love that she is thinking along those lines on her own without any encouragement from me.

These are such wonderful and proud moments for a parent. Congratulations!

I don't like underlines.

How about BOB... Simple ... No underscore, easy to remember, it's a palindrome... Spelt the same both ways

Do not get horses... Just saying!

Feed, meds, shavings....

You forgot shoeing, teeth floating and a tack obsession.

Go Rosie! You must be very proud of her.
