Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Well, I don’t want to hog Bob’s thread with my woe’s, but now Dorothy is having issues! We know she has egg shell making issues and likely poor genetics, but the timing is terrible. This poor sweetheart.

I get it. A nice cool spot.

And Jaffar is back in with me, again tonight! Waiting on the porch for me to get him. Why can't he just use the coop like all the others?

Because you have trained him to love being with you. Poor fellow. He knows your big coop is more comfortable than his now. And you are there too.

Poor Dorothy. She is beautiful. I love white hens.

Sometimes everything seems to come in bunches. Stay strong for them.

I guess!

Yeah, when I see your posts on Daisy, the greatest hen ever, they remind me of Dorothy. She’s actually a California White, 3/4 Leghorn, 1/4 Barred Rock, but her personality is all Leghorn and she’s tiny... much smaller than my late Margo (Brown Leghorn).

Bob, Since I had him, the only night Jaffar ever spent in the coop, was the same night he contracted fly strike. I haven't let him sleep on the coop floor since. He can't fly up where the other birds perch. He's just not built that way. And I confess, I like that Feathered alarm clock!

MaryJanet, what time is it? I was trying to figure out who is on my time zone, but pretty sure you are not? You all good?

 

[micstrachan]

I’m an idiot. It’s morning there, isn’t it?

 

[micstrachan]

Haha! No, it’s afternoon, isn’t it?
