Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Good for you. At least you spoke your mind.

There have been two high profile cases here involving drinking, speeding, (drivers with multiple convictions where mommy and daddy bailed them out), and the death of whole families: one where all 4 children, grandpa and Gramma killed several years ago (and the dad killed himself this past father's day - depression), and a mother and her 3 daughters a couple years ago.

I am just furious just plain furious. So I hold nothing back when it comes to drinking, driving and multiple convictions where money talks

These people I am sure are now pariahs in the community. At least I hope.



Ok this is not the place to vent - sorry to be a Debbie Downer. I will make it up tomorrow with lots of happy Chickie pics

And I need to go to the Feedmill, so might take trip to Neighbours Country Feedmill - see what chicks they have

Talking of spoilt chickens...

Glad someone else has to 'put the kids that bed' also

I count myself really lucky that my ladies all troop in on their own.
The only issue is they all have different bed times by group. So it is a long protracted process. It can take two hours from first to last.

You have to press hard too. It is not a gentle massage. RC can you describe how hard you need to press?

I pressed just firm enough to move things a bit, kind of squished it around, tried not to pinch.

I am a bit rougher than that. I don’t think it hurts them as they seem to enjoy it!

Yes you are lucky yours put themselves to bed by themselves. It is less stressful that way. I don't think I'd change my spoiled chickens though. It is a few extra minutes of one on one snuggle time.

Buckeyes in the garage
The squawk in the beginning is Popcorn getting slightly stepped on, she was sitting and cooling off on the stones and cardboard. She's the one that remains most active even when the others stop for a rest. The garage and deck in between is a safe spot to rest and preen.

awesome
