Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

Hey..coming on to let you know my husband passed on the 27th...last Thursday. All I can say is, this is so hard. Kids have been wonderful! So thankful for them. A couple stayed with me through the days as he passed. Then one daughter stayed one more night. The kids that live here we're in California for a wedding. They got back the day before he passed. I'm so grateful they are home..I'm not alone. Thank you for prayers.

Big hugs to you Cynthia.

Apparently I missed a bunch of posts. Alex, I’m
Glad Emily is feeling better. Scant, bright green poop typically means the chicken isn’t eating much.

She’s doing much better

I’m up early checking flight schedule maintenance, weather conditions , and I’m hoping that my new $ 1800 dollar repair to my plane has been done correctly (my life counts on it) I did get six hours sleep, so I’m good! Good morning my BYC friends!

Tragedy Strikes the Gardens at Fluffy Butt Acres

For years I have been cultivating Black Eyed Susans in one of our flower boxes around the backyard. You can see them here in this photo of Sansa.

I have them so they come back every year in significant numbers spread around the box on their own. This year they are just now starting to show the bugs of flowers. I love them and get excited when they start to bloom.

This morning before work, Mrs BY Bob and Phyllis decided to weed that box. I say the two of them because I know Mrs BY Bob got caught up in supplying bugs for Phyllis to eat.

Now there are weeds in ithe box, no doubt about it, as I have not yet gotten to that box this year. However, Mrs BY Bob targeted my Black Eyed Susan's as weeds. She pulled them all out.

Every last one.

All of them.

None were left.

Now there may be some hope. Mrs BY Bob is not a great weeder. She does not knock the dirt off the roots and she does not clean up after herself. So my Susans were in the pile on the patio with the other weeds.

Desperate to try and save something, I sorted them out, dug a hole, planted what I had, watered them, and even put a cage around them to give them support and hopefully give Mrs BY Bob pause before she pulls them out again.
Here they were at 9:00 am after I replanted them. The Susans are in the circle. That is lavender in the picture below them. The rest of the green is weeds.

Susan’s are pretty tough. I bet they will make it!

I put on some John Denver soft music instead. Now she’s laying close to me (close as any chicken can get) I feel so bad that I introduced such offensive music to my angel in the first place.

John Denver is way more soothing!

I like Shad's rants. He makes himself very clearly understood.

I like to read a good rant once in awhile.

Good morning All You Peeps at Fluffy Butt Acres.
It’s Fluffy Butt Friday and I am searching for some new material!

I think it’s the fourth day. But you were right about three days; she started showing improvement yesterday.

I just wanted to add that data point to the Vault. I'm so glad they are helping.
