Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[bgmathteach]

How are the secret geese doing with DH? Or do I have the wrong member?

I came clean when they were about 3 weeks old, to encourage continual bonding. He is okay with them, as he had kinda warmed up to them before knowing, and I promised to process them if they became aggressive towards him. But, tbh, I don't think I could. Sampson, always comes over when I am near the pen and chats with me. I am a bit upset with hubby, though. His idea of continuing to bond with them is, on weekends, if he happens to be near their pen, he will say 'hi' as he walks by. I've chastized him about this lack of effort...and am praying that they see him enough to not be aggressive, even if they aren't truly 'friendly' towards him. at least he hasn't disowned me over it.....I knew his was a somewhat irrational fear from something when he was a kid, and given his kind heart...I knew he wouldn't be freaked out if he had them grow up in front of his eyes. But, I also know him well...unlike you all. Please know I wouldn't have tricked him if I thought he would be terrified...that would have just been down right cruel...and I'm not that. (I probably give that impression at times, though...

How about the name 'Speck' for the sebright? They do end up with spotted tips of feathers, yes? And Sebrights are a smaller breed.
Lovely lot you have there!

What a wonderful name! Thanks for the suggestion!

I was told Trixie (and Dixie) were around 3 months when i got them. They should be around 5 months now.

I’m back home safely. All the chooks are doing well. Xzit is still being Xzit. I think I raised the property value by parking the new car in my driveway!

Awesome glad you're back! You have been missed!

Remember @Shadrach 's post. Chickens can COUNT!!!

(Unless it's a broody hen... then it doesn't. They are like, "Oh, an egg, *roll it under* 'that's one'
Oh, an egg! That's one.
Oh an egg! ..."
By the time they are done, the number is still "one" and the all boxes besides her's are devoid of eggs.

Well I made it to Toronto with only one minor turn about and for the most part told Roberta (my GPS) to shut up hahaha.

Seems I am the only person in this course taking it for work purposes, the other 9 people all had court orders to take remedial driver training

5 for driving over 180km/hr

I personally thanked them for making my vehicle insurance higher (yes I did!) With their bad driving... I think they all hate me. Too bad!

Ok well lunch time almost over finish this course do the driving component and get the heck back home!!

Tax for Whining...

I miss my gals and the horses
