Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Was that a dog watching there

That is CeeCee our almost 3 year old Lab x Malamute cross. When my sister brought her home she told us she was a lab x husky. At a year old when everyone loved her and she was already bigger then expected she admitted she was part malamute.

She's really lovely I can see her character especially in the second picture ❤

I guess integration has begun.

Happy Pony Sunday everyone. Here is a short video at the end of Dirt's ride this evening. He's finally getting used to seeing me standing with the camera.

Dirt is a fine looking horse!

I guess integration has begun.

I think that she is the one who started integration because she is the one receiving SIGNALS from the bigs.

Mixed signals judging by Minnie running her off the big roost!
All three spent most of the evening out on their observation deck running around and hopping up onto the perch there and then jumping down and like little kids making one hell of a racket shrieking and laughing to each other.

They'll do so at their own pace. As long as the littles have places to escape, they'll be fine.

This is kind of funny (not like ha ha funny, rather cool/odd, funny) My chickens, broody or not..though they DO poop during the night, the majority of my hens let loose a very large poop as soon as I let them out in the morning. I would say 2/3 size of a broody poop, but not as stinky. Most (not all!) night time poops under the roosts are much smaller. It's almost like they hold onto the 2nd half of the night's worth of poop to let it loose outside?? (It is much more true this time of year, a bit less so in the winter...?maybe because the nights are so long then?)

Maybe. That is funny though. When on the roost mine just let it drop!

Pony Sunday

A cold frosty morning today, with a heavy frost blanketing everything. The horses thankfully are slow to shed their winter hair.

No one wanted me to take pics today other than Reenie so I grabbed a selfie hahah

Some good signs from Bernadette who can now manage the little stick perch again. This time I am not letting up on the vitamin supplements for at least 6 weeks!
Her tail feathers are really ratty. I hope that isn’t a sign of some other deficiency!

The tail feathers may be indicative of an upcoming juvenile molt.
