Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

You may need to link all the posts together when they are all up, seeing as we have gotten all chatty and distracted and bouncy, as usual... I love the narrative and that’s a lot of what drew me to your thread; not to diminish the current events and stories of your current flock, Jabber, and Patsy (I still occasionally tear up a bit thinking of her)

That's funny. I was thinking about it yesterday. I posted this long post on Elphie that took a long time to write (including tears) and find photos for and there was so much other stuff going on that I felt it got lost. Of course I love all the fun conversations we have and I wouldn't want to stop that either.

I think you may be correct. I will keep writing them and posting them as I do but I think when I am done with Daisy's story I will go back and post them all together.

I have over 100 posts to catch up on here! You’re rivaling @Ribh for chattiness here now...

It absolutely went crazy here yesterday. I've never seen anything like it. I could not keep up myself and I was checking in all day.

I really miss each thread having its own photo album of every pic posted in it

I don't remember that. That would be nice.

Wow I finally caught up after falling what seemed to be 20 pages behind, and with the holidays to make reading time harder to find, I feel bad for only occasionally “liking” posts and am wondering if there’s an etiquette to the practice. forgive me as a newbie but I’m liking everyone’s post in my head and failing to mark it on the actual post.

The flock of 17 I’m managing is now 20 weeks old and someone laid their first egg yesterday. Not everyone has a red comb, so the suspects are a distinct subset of RIR or Red Star. And our young rooster is now crowing—I have a home lined up for him at my sister’s place as I’m reluctantly admitting that for this flock, there is no advantage to keeping a rooster. It’s sad because he’s quite beautiful right now and still quite leery of people, but I don’t want to wait until he turns aggressive on any of our volunteer tenders (or me.) Bob, at what age did Jabber become unmanageable?

here is our guy, August. He’s a Silver Spangled Hamburg.

Happy New Year and Happy Anniversary Bob!

He might not turn out unmanageable... I’m all for giving the boy a chance, he is handsome!

Ok, you're on The List too

Tag me in too... one day I’ll build a “real” coop or two!

I think you have a human coop to build first.

Another late night Snack

Hattie is still eating 1/2 way through the night.

Over 2/3 of the main floor floor-joists are in... and FIL is almost on my “back to speaking terms” list. Though it’s still a little up in the air. Today was trailer renovation day, again; tomorrow is back to drywall and painting at the other persons job site. Where there is now running water for hideous wall paper removal.

Another thought would be so that the summary isnt lost is to ask a mod to pretty please edit you first post and add a link to the summary post. For now you could keep tabs as notes with the post #. As a premium feathers member i know you can edit a post for a longer period of time than a non PFM but i think its only 3 months vs like one day.
