Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ManueB]

I will probably be absent for a few days. I can confirm my Ezzie is gone and how I missed her I do not know but when I found Ezzie I also found Crickets body. My father passed away a little after noon today. A word of warning to everyone, if you have not already please have your final wishes in writing so your next of kin is not left making impossible decisions and fighting with other family members in the process. Daddy for years told me verbally what he wanted, in situations like his. He never put it in writing and his brothers and sisters fought me and my brother tooth and nail last night. I now have to track down a copy of his burial insurance policy so I can begin funeral preparations, yet no one has a clue where it is.

I'm so sorry you are going through such trauma with your family. It's terrible .
I'm also sorry for the loss of Cricket and especially Ezzie who was so special to you.
Things have been so hard for you.

Are you going to keep all the Roos? How many hens do you have? There are 12 here so o expect Mr Pompei to be busy,

Including the roos, I have 24 birds. As I've lost the senior roo twice, leaving me with just 1, at this point yes. Shad says a tribe should consist of senior roo with 3-4 hens and junior roo with several younger hens. Junior does most of the escort to nest while senior stays with others in guard mode. Poor Cheetah has been run ragged with the 10 ladies and the escort calls, plus he needed backup if something does come after them. The Idiots divide and conquer tactics are a good sign they will work together as adults. With all of them having a coop and no run, the roos have work cut out for them, but they also have space to escape.

Introductions between Mr Pompei and the gals went well. They are all sun bathing now,

Didn’t take him long, did it?!

OMG I am so sorry Rebecca! That is so traumatic, why are his siblings wanting something from his estate when he has his own family?! Take as much time as you need.

Yep and she is a cribber so she loses grain doing that also! Costly beast!

That's Tina always tipping over the food and messing everything up

Chicken Salad

The new girls were enjoying fruits from the garden tonight. Lady Featherington was able to avoid the camera but not Glynda and Gucci!

Is that a banana? On the ground

Safe journeys, how about the weather, the bright moon, how the traffic is….

I know what you mean, travelling long distances can be a trial

I dropped an absolute bombshell on my dad when we were driving from Melbourne to Canberra (8 hours). I’m surprised he didn’t crash the car…

Car tax

I was up and cleaning out the coop at 6.45, it took a good hour and a half because it was scrubbed from top too bottom. I'll have to buy another liner for warmth for the winter.

No, my toenails are not painted. The movie is on YouTube videos. And both these feathered friends have gone to sleep. Two part movie. So I will watch the other half tomorrow. I’m hoping Jaffar sleeps late in the morning!

Why are your toenails not painted
