Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[notabitail]

Blooming heck. I do believe you've got a riot on your hands there

Every morning. They poop too. It is a great method to get mealworms.
Eating my plants will get you tossed out-literally.

And Then There Were 6
I have tragic news everyone. We lost Betty today. While free ranging today she fell into the pool. I have no idea how or why. None of the chickens go anywhere near the pool and yet she fell in. Before Mrs BY Bob could get her out she passed away due to hypothermia. The water is still quite cold.

I buried her between the two Blueberry bushes that Hattie bought. I will post a tribute to her later this week but her is the last photo I ever took of her.

Yet another hen lost too soon. Mrs BY Bob is inconsolable. She blames herself of course and Betty was one of her special girls.

I myself feel as though I'm getting numb to the losses. I'm going to try and spend time with everyone who is left tomorrow morning. I need to try to reconnect with them.

Oh no! Bob, I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences to you and Mrs Bob.

Is the chick okay

All babies are active this morning Chirping up a storm wanting food.

As @WhoDatChick said, "Chickens be crazy".
I should mention In Albis will do anything for food. She had trained her wings to fly for that purpose. It works to get her back from areas she wants to explore but that are unsafe.

Another Buttercup I see

WTF??? Seriously??? So aggravating!!!

And very sad, extreme bad luck for RC.

Oh, how goes the chick saga? Will you be getting any? I am reading ahead to see if any news

It is almost impossible for me to get a picture of any chick other than Piglet. She is a complete camera hog. She literally rushes towards the phone shouting ‘me, me, me’.
I managed to divert her with some food off to the side to get a few blurry pictures including one just for @RebeccaBoyd because all it shows is feathery legs.

Do you have any rotten goose eggs like the one Templeton had? Maybe some pig poo and my grandma's stinky makeup as well.

Tsk tsk tsk your gramma doesn’t have stinky makeup it makes her beautiful

This one was protesting on my front door yesterday, with the cat and dog either side of her looking very confused

Hello princess you are looking very good today!

 

[RoyalChick]

I am completely losing it with rage.
UPS found the package. They then tried to deliver it at 6am this morning. To a business address. Naturally they werent open.
They will try again the next business day.
That will be three days after I paid for it to be delivered and outside the window when they can do the avian leukosis test.
My fury knows no bounds!
