Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

3 Years Ago Today

Lovely. There seems to be as much snacking as bathing. Personally I think that is a very good ratio of activity!

By Bob need you to stand up better so I can see the whole shirt. I love it.

She is so sweet. She hung out for over 30 min with us. Her little feet are so small. I was so worried that I had hurt her worse. She was leaving blood all over the deck. I expected her toe to be missing.

That's very frightening.

Phyllis got Hurt Today

The middle toe on her left foot got caught in the back door today as she rushed to come in as I was closing the door. It bled badly. I tried to keep her still so it could stop bleeding but as soon as I let her back out it started bleeding again. We did watch some TV together today.

She stared both cats down as well.

The little ones are so scary. I get it. I am terrified by Lottie, she's so small & fragile but remarkably robust just the same.

And like others have said: That's a great T~shirt!

I've read people use corn starch or flour as a clotting agent that or pressure. Hope she is better now

It's pretty as well as practical & has been very well used.

I'm so glad you are finding it useful Ribh. I'm getting he warm fuzzy feeling

I put a self-seeding flower meadow in the front yard! It's been delightful but sometimes sparsely planted. I need to reconsider the irrigation pipe because the spray heads don't provide the right coverage.

Did you get the seeds from the diggers club?

No, just the cottage garden mix and the bee lovers mix from the supermarket I'm afraid.

Oh no! Get better soon Phyllis. (See? too many mealy worms are bad for you!)

P.S. That's a fabulous T-shirt Bob

The t shirt was a lucky coincidence today.

I bet you have a drawer full of chicken themed T-shirts Bob

So not POL. Like the rest of us you'll more likely be facing a molt & a few eggless months but I have found the favorelles more prosaic & less Prima Donnas than some of my other girls. All my Drama Queens make a song & dance out of everything whether it's molting or laying an egg.

Do Faverolles have a later POL? I thought most girls POL was around 20-24 weeks. I asked for younger ones and the breeder said the ones without rings around their legs were around 12 months old, and he caught me three of them. River was moulting when I got her but she seems to be over it now.
