Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

You two owe a lot of chicken tax. Just saying.

I asked for a shrub FOR my chickens!

I don't think this one's big enough.

RC, how can I suffice you? What do you want to see?

Friends, my Drummie is gone. I finally feel better and go outside armed with a big box of raisins to restart our morning routine and I'm greeted with a pile of feathers. Rooster feathers. The trail led to the creek but I've looked everywhere and there is no body. At first I was not sure if it was Basil or Drumstick that I was looking for but after calling for a minute Basil came running to me. I want to be hopeful that I will find him, but, there is a lot of feathers and my heart is shattered. Basil is also doing something this morning that I can not take as a good sign that I will find him. He's crowing. Before this morning for the last week he's only let out 1 crow before coming off the roost and has been silent the rest of the day, if there was a crow to be heard it was Drumsticks. Today, he has not shut up, every 30 minutes he's taking a crowing spell almost like he's calling for his dad. This is not the first time i've lost a chicken or chick, but today, this hurts differently. My friend is gone.

Oh no I know how special Drumstick is to you I hope I read on and find good news

Oh no I know how special Drumstick is to you I hop I read on and find good news

I wasn’t there, but losing a long loved feathered friend isn’t easy. I’m very sorry

I was trying to get a shot yesterday of Snow with her feathers still full of dust bath dirt before she had shaken it off but I just couldn’t do it justice.
Instead I got these
I think Belle’s comb has grown a teensy bit

Comparison shots tell me yes her comb has grown

Oh no! I am so sorry this has happened. What a tragedy. I will hope that he turns up but no matter what you have my deepest sympathies.

That's like the "French" accenT. Meanwhile, bring a shrubbery for my chickens.
