Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Lexicon]

Thanks, Penny is a really great hen. I felt so bad for her after being broody as it seemed like everyone wanted a piece out of her, but all is settled now. Even though she was sitting right there in the nest, she had to re-establish her place in the pecking order. No blood was drawn, but there was a lot of drama!

Cheetah set up to squawking...no girls calling back....investigate direction he's looking, see nothing....further investigation....behind a bush a cat bolted away (never seen before), with a squeaking critter. I think it was a ground squirrel. He called for help over a hunting critter. Earned a handful of mealworms...which he promptly used to court the girls.

I feel like the worst chook-mum ever.

No you're are a million miles from the worst chicken mum. Not even close by a billion miles. You care and do your utmost to care for them . Just look at the insensitive greedy b tards that starve neglect even abuse their flocks. They are the worst humans on earth that should be near let alone have the honor of being near any animal

I've lost two this past year and I honestly feel I let Amber down dreadfully but as for Agatha, I know I couldn't possibly have saved her but managed too prolong her life by a few weeks and the majority of that time she really enjoyed, thanks too flexi
Agatha was well past two years of age when I got her, in all that time caged up with so many other chickens with no room too move already done it's damage

Yes our girls can be robust but like us humans they will have their weaknesses and the same said some will be weaker than others both in the wild and domestic.

Please don't beat yourself up. I'm really sorry for your losses but you still have the other little beauties

So glad to be home - such a miserable day, and then my chickies make it all better

I feel like a soppy creep giving you so many hearts
I'm desperately on how I can find one tiny thing wrong to complain about and I just can't

Opinion: Aleve, works better than Tylenol for what’s ailing me. But it does seem to make me feel sleepy also.

Lay off the drugs Alex there's too many side affects and in most cases the drug producers are as criminal as the pushers imo. Not all but I'm betting the majority are.

I put the blind chick and the young Guineas in Viajito's cage for the day. The were running around chirping and eating. The blind chick was standing in the bowl of wet mash eating when I left them. My friends are coming this weekend to pickup 4 of the Guineas. It's already a sauna outside so am working 20 minutes at a time then coming in to cool off. Pictures to come now that everyone is settled and fed.

I know they’ve got access to Beakbook but I can’t work out where they’ve hidden Charlie’s laptop!

Reason number at this point 1,00,000 why my smoking has increased. Had to go outside to put Lilly, Cricket and Baby who wants to be broody off the porch and back on the roost. Walk back in to find grandma in the living room. Her walker which she was using, in the kitchen. She walked off and left it and used the walls and furniture to support her.

Walls arms of chairs and furniture is much more comfortable than a stick or walker

Yes, dangerous !

It's safer to have rugs under those circumstances
