Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

That is the lovely Miss Patsy my alfa hen before Lilly. They came to us as a pair.

As near as i can figure Patsy was a Black Copper Maran. Here are some more photos of this lovely lady.

Wow look at those wattles

Such an awesome gal!

Wow, he passed away the following spring?. I’m glad he was able to fly too! To me, flying is a great escape from the everyday grind.

He had so much fun and enjoyed it.

It’s always nice to have an escape from the grind.

I would have her next to me in my room, but I wouldn’t want to bother her while she’s sleeping . (In case I snore) she’s a close runner up to what Rocks-Anne was like. (And I really loved Rock-Anne)

That’s awesome

Still in a mess here so will get back when I can . These roofers haven't taken away the scaffolding or cleared their hazardous mess away they've also damaged my freshly painted porch

Keep a document and pics on the cleanup requirements- we do that all the time on the construction projects.

Make no mistake, I think that losing my beloved pets, is a drain on my interpersonal relationships with other people. I haven’t heard from the center yet about the cause of Arizona’s death, and my imagination is racing. I’m hearing all the time “what’s wrong Alexander, things happen. Besides, it’s only a chicken.” Don’t these people realize, that my birds are my family? Don’t they know how deeply that statement cuts into me? I am a sensitive person and I care very much about people, and animals. Their safety and well-being is a priority for me. (Sorry that my humanity is showing in this rant, but I take all of it to heart.) maybe that’s a cause of my anxiety and high blood pressure? Rant over.

Others who don’t have pets don’t understand the connection. I feel sad for those people who don’t have a connection to the real world.

I think just just want to understand the attachment and attraction to having a support network with one’s pets.

Well better get out and feed the critters, I had the horses outside last night and at midnight I went and checked them - all was good and that big strawberry moon was glowing

I didn’t bother the chickies I can see them on the barn cams. They were all snug sleeping.
