Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[GregnLety]

She is still very healthy and has a great personality. The most relaxed chicken I have ever seen. Her leg is healing but they need to redo the splint because it's healing but twisted. The doctor is able to physically twist it around to the correct position and Goldie will stand on it when she does. There's good circulation through the leg and foot. I left her with the doctor to redo the splint. Goldie has too much heart to consider having her euthanized. I know it isn't going to be cheap but if the same thing is happening to one of our pups then my reaction will be the same. I think I will build a cage for Goldie and Itty-bitty so neither will have to sleep alone.

That’s wonderful! You are a good chicken dada many would have just culled.

Ask Aurora

Dearest Your Majesty, oh Queen that is high and mighty;

When I asked my question about Ask Aurora, I was asked by a very pretty hen to transcribe a message, and this is what I was asked to write:

Word has spread in the Chickan world about a Queen so wise and so entrenched in The Way of the Chickan, that I too, had to write to you, Queen Aurora.

I am a wise and enlightened old hen, I have no illusions of grandeur nor do I seek a lofty perch, other than that for sleeping upon. Though, I have found joy in sleeping in a cozy nest-box much to the bemusement of my Hooman; in this cozy box one can sleep contentedly and dream about all sorts of dining treats and wonderlands with wonderful, silly creatures: one day, one of my sisters was engaging in a 'conversation' of the silliest sort - she argued and chased a rabbit into the brush pile. How dare that rabbit trespass on OUR space! That said, we have a benevolent giant kitty-kat that our hoomanz got to protect us. She can stay, because she knows the way of the chickan, and defers to us!

My Hooman is the dearest of Hoomanz, truly as close to One With The Chickanz as any Hooman can be.

Our Hooman knows of our love of meal worms, blueberries, pasta with sauce matching my comb and other treats; our Hooman has also been found many times talking such silliness with the rabbit, and cats, and Chickanz alike!

What I would like to know, is this: how can our coop sisters and I show our hooman how much we truly cherish them? I know that our Hooman stresses about us, worries that we are not roosting properly, our Hooman has experienced loss of others of our chickan family and shared in all our sorrows. I want to show our Hooman that we all appreciate them and look forward to the time spent with us and all the treats our Hooman has on hand, especially the exotic treats like sushi and Pad Thai - we all absolutely love those treats! It is at these times that our Hooman knows it is every Chickan for themselves, it is the way of the Chickan to steal!

“The Hooman keeper of Chickanz, was giver rare treats,
All on a summer day:
The knave of the tribe, then stole those treats,
And ate them right away!”

The Hooman has knowledge and knows of the rules, that is The Way of the Chickan and knows that this is ok.

Oh wise Aurora, if you would be so kind as to let me know how we can show our appreciation to our Hooman I would greatly appreciate this.


Your lady in waiting,



Ms Bee in her Bonnet

I have been asked by the Pretty Hen to see if there is any reply to this from HRH Aurora

The Kindness of Strangers

Someone was involved in a conspiracy. Whomever you are, thank you so much for the wonderful bushes. The girls will be thrilled when the blueberries ripen. I have always wanted a couple. Now I need to figure out where to plant them and how to keep the feathered vultures from destroying them.

Awww - such a lovely hen; I agree with you. We have these creatures, they are our responsibilities and we must ensure that they are treated with respect and given our fullest support and attention.

OK well I look forward to hearing how she is doing.

Happy Friday

Stripes are today's theme.

She is a lucky hen

She never made a sound while the vet was examining her. She is a tough lady with a strong will to live. Everyone at the clinic remarked how calm she is, even with the yappy dogs in the waiting room she remained cool and calm.

Taking Goldie (Hopalong) to get he leg checked tomorrow morning. I hope she can get her cast removed

Can't wait to hear how she does.

You are wonderful to do this for her.

I woke up this morning, my hubby had fed and let the chooks out. I heard Hades crowing alot but nothing from Zeus, who crows all the time, so I went out there to check on him. I found Zeus and stayed there until he cocorico for me a couple of times. The ladies were on me so he acted like he was gonna charge but didn't. Such a weird chook morning. He is still not crowing alot today
