Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[WhoDatChick]

Hi Carolyn. I'm in Oz so I'm up when Bob is on his way to bed. Nice to *meet* you. To use the emoticons have a look @ the top bar of the reply box. You will see a smiley face. Press on that & you will get a drop down with all the rest of the emoticons. It happens underneath the reply box & can be hard to see.

Ribh beat me to it

Hi there,
Just a two week old member of backyardchickens.com, I finally caught up to the end of your thread here, BY Bob, and of course it was the Fluffy Butt title that pulled me in. Just want to let you know it's so great to see how you have a mini-community within a community, and you have my total admiration for being such an amazing caretaker of your flock. Jabber, Patsy, Hattie, Mel...I almost feel like I have met them myself. My sympathies on your losses and my heartfelt warm wishes to your family, who all have had quite an eventful year. Anyway, I just wanted to drop in, say hello and stop being a lurking presence!

Carolyn (I'm so new I don't even know how to post those cute emoticons)

Thank you for asking. I owe everyone and update. I am going to see Eve on Saturday. She is thriving. Around 10lbs right now and finally sleeping in her crib. Here she is channeling 1980s Whitney Houston.

Oh! She is gorgeous! Thanks for updating. I didn't like to ask so I'm glad @WhoDatChick did.

Don't be afraid to ask. I let you in and so you deserve to know and be updated. She is a special little girl.

Thanks, Bob. You must be very proud of her. What a trooper!

I didn't know this ! Eeeuurgh Another good reason for having backyard chooks.

Good on ya Lozzy for rescuing those girls. I've planted the same idea in my sister's mind so we may see her here one day!

Yes, I heard it on Triple J’s ‘Hack’ programme in 2016, one of the reporters watched a video of it happening and recorded her reactions. I was running myself into the ground study-wise and, unbeknownst to me at the time, slowly sliding into depression. I was distressed when I got home, then they recapped it the next morning whilst I was driving to work! I was really distressed when I got there and our CEO called me into her office and asked me how she could help! I decided then and there that I would stop eating commercial eggs, and not long after that, made the decision to get chooks. Apparently someone is developing technology to sex chicks whilst they are still in the egg, but it’s not ready yet.
