Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I'll tell her you said so! She's the one who will get up on my lap for treats, so she is juuuust a liiiiitle bit spoiled.

That's wonderful!

Oh that’s a good song.

How about In the Misty Moonlight

I would love to hear you sing it. Dino is one of my all times though. I expect you would do it justice for sure.

What bothers me, is that the veterinarian wouldn’t even try to guess what age Jaffar is. Well over 4 years old though.

It's not like you can cut him open and count the rings. Or check his teeth. There is no way the vet could estimate his age that I know of. They took my word for Lilly's age.

"It's Raining Again" by Supertramp might be my favorite.

I know I have opened the door to rainy day songs now. So I will pay Tax.

I can’t figure if she is really afraid. She comes up and pecks my legs and arms. But if I reach out to her she moves away.
And she doesn’t really eat out of my hand - but I may not have found the right treat.

She may just be the independent sort. I have several hens that are like that, but I also have several that clamber all over me, especially when it comes to treats.

They're all individuals. I know that many people feel really strongly that they want birds that will cuddle with them, but I just let my ladies decide how they want to interact with me ... and as far as I can tell, you have too.

I watched a Nature of Things episode on aging and birds are very hard to ‘age’ apparently, unlike mammals they don’t have typical aging signs, they can check the genes telomeres for aging though, bit expensive I should say to get that done!

If I had to guess I would say Jaffar is ageless

I am OK with it really. I admire her spirit, and I love her crazy running sprees!

I noted that since Dorothy got her new feathers in she has been a speed demon! She is just running and sipping around! She will just take off and run across the yard stop turn around and run back!

So nice to see her feeling good, can’t wait for Biuttercup and Sophia to be back to normal also, they look so sad
