Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Have to laugh though. Henry ll says, "O, thou Hens, hide me! Bury me amongst thy Great Fluffness! My wondrous powers wane at night, and he molests me. As a shield raise your wings and let me creep thereunder. Protect thy valiant Rooster from Bucket Boy!"

Fantastic!

The ladies finally braved the snow today and trekked to the front. Helped that it is only foot high (to a chicken) instead of chest high!

Well there you go. One short sentence, two possesive references and the only real loss is the chicken who lost its life.

I'm going to try once more because I feel I am not communicating my point well. Perhaps there is actually a difference in language here that is beyond my ability to bridge.

When I tell someone I am sorry for their loss, it is because I am sorry for THEIR loss. Whether they have lost a chicken or their best human friend or their parent. I believe them to be grieving and due consolation. They possess their loss. I am sorry that they are experiencing that loss. I wish grief upon no one and yet we all suffer it from time to time and I feel that I should do all I can to help anyone experiencing it.

If I could communicate with the chicken, I might also tell it that I was sorry that this has happened to them, unless of course, they told me they were glad of it.

I agree fully on your point here. The same with me.

im gonna take a guess here at these wonderful chickens breeds! Top one back is black sex link? Middle one plymouth barred rock, and bottom golden laced something for the bottom and the back is black sex link! I tried. Although golden laced is a color not a breed, im not to sure what breed she could be!

 

[BY Bob]

Top one back is black sex link? Could be, could be Maran, she's a rescue so I'm not certain

Middle one plymouth barred rock, correct

and bottom golden laced something Golden Laced Wyandotte, great guess

golden laced something for the bottom, Golden Laced Wyandotte, same hen

and the back is black sex link, same rescue as above

You did very well!

 

[Chicken poppy]

You did very well!

thank you! I wasnt to confident in a wyandotte because i couldnt see the feet (to tell if their feathered or not) and i dont know much about wyandottes haha. very beautiful birds!
