Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Lovely Chaco! Do you ride her?

Actually, I don’t ride her regularly. She sure is a beautiful lawn ornament though, don’t you think?
Sometimes if she’s in the mood, I will ride her bare back. (On her back, And I’m wearing a shirt )

Ps. She doesn’t look good with a bridle on

Oh but I wish I had a chicken big enough to ride!

I'm pretty sure such a big chicken would accidentally take my fingers off at treat time

Funny you should say that… how about this one?

Probably knows about the 'taking your finger off'' bit. Aren't Cassowaries related to the ostrich?

Had to dig into the archives for some Twofers.

Ok, this one is a threefer, but it’s Ester and Dorothy when Cashew brought them to my lap.

Here are Dorothy and Bridge on my lap (I had forgotten that Dorothy used to like my lap. I wish I had held her when she died.)

I have two pips, both from dark green eggs, I expect there will be chicks out by morning!
Edit to add… I think I’m wearing mamas patience down by lifting her

One chick is out, I pulled three bad eggs and the second pip didn’t make it… she still has three eggs, two of which I’m fairly certain are ok, and one questionable (full moon and a dark shell makes for really bad candling conditions) praying for a couple more babies tonight… but at least there won’t be any really nasty explosions. She has raised a single before successfully, but it’s nicer when there are more than just the one.

This looks a worthy steed for me when I lead my feral goat mounted army of cassowaries for dominion over this fair isle… somehow looks less intimidating than an emu… but I’m not a particularly small lady…

Lovely pics. Dorothy looks quite content using your legs as a roost. I do believe that just being with them is comfort....having a 'friend' nearby seems to comfort them like @BY Bob 's Lilly with Patsy. Please don't second guess yourself.....you were there for her, and that's what matters. Clearly she loved you..So I'm sure you were a comfort without even holding her! (Dorothy was a real looker, btw!)

Of course, Bridge needs to roost on the actual flesh, i see...looks like she is roosting on your bare ankles.....mmmmmmm nice HEATED roost here!
