Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I had to dissect a fetal pig in 8th grade. I was partnered with my cousin who spent the entire time gagging, saying eww and barely holding the legs apart for me. I did all the work and we both got a A. It did not bother me though, I saw it no different then field dressing a deer which I had helped do several times before. Rosie is hoping they get to dissect something next year in biology.

Yep I don't have an issue as long as it's not my pet.

I am the one helping my BIL clean rabbits... 30 seconds to clean one

Good girl Fluffy. Branch tried to offer his prize to all the ladies and no one was interested. That is until Daisy got done laying her egg. She saw it and it was gone in a instant.

Good protein treat

My cousin just sent me this picture of 2 out of her 3 chicks that hatched almost 3 weeks ago. I'm trying to muster up enough courage to inform her that those 2 are boys. They are Marans mixes, and I know my Marans and Marans mixes enough to say with certain those are boys.

I buried her under my peach tree, where she liked to sun bathe. Months later, that tree is dead! Many regrets!!

Oh dear the tree likely had its roots damaged when you dug Next to it

During Squirrel season I am the one to help my dad clean them for my aunt and uncle. We have developed a system and can have the bunch cleaned in under 10 minutes. It would be faster except we are being mobbed by the chickens. They think their insides are delicacies.

I was supposed to dissect a frog back in buah-ology class in high school. I said it was against my religion to do that. (Got a C in the class)

Hard to do for a kid!

Squirrels... Not much on a squirrel...

We get those huge white hares, they have lots of meat on them, big animals. They are brown in the summer and go white in the winter. BIL snares them (we call the snares slips), have a trap line going.

So the guts can go to the chickies, hmmmm good to know!

Peach trees are sensitive, even if you don't hit the roots if you disturb the plant and stress it that can be enough.

Oh dear ....
