Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

My Dad will get mad at me for laying in my bed. I will have plenty of insults hurled at me for going to my bed early. Last night he got me mad, yelling at me for not going to bed when I had stuff that had to be taken care of (the trash. And my plants. They needed water). He is nice, but has the wrong idea of some things in his head and tends to tick me off almost every day (no, dad, I am not inconsistent. I get up and do the same thing every morning). I think I will snag a hen and sneak a nap in my chair.

Well it’s an adult thing, sometimes we forget what it’s like being a youth. And then there is the whole responsible for everything, thing.

Take a nap, don’t let the hen poop in your bed

@RebeccaBoyd Sylvie wants you to know that she is still trying for a bad hair day gold medal.

Wow she sure is going to eventually have lovely feather pattern when she gets those feathers in.

I am surprised, she seems to be less feathered than my brats.

She is less feathered than any of the others but she seems full of energy so I think she is OK.
And what is going on with the feathers on her underside that seem too long or too heavy of something so they sag down?
She is quite a mess.
She is also a rather endearing little character. She is always looking to go somewhere. She gets herself in a lot of minor mishaps!

Laying here, snooping on the horses and chickens, and having a huge laugh at the tweens, they are roosting on top of the brooder, with their heads hanging down, almost falling on their noggins.

And was waiting to see if they would actually fall

Oh yes she looks very fine

Each has their own timeline in getting their feathers, growing up, laying eggs

Update on the silkie baby Clyde. He wasnt looking to good this morning gave him meds and a dose of rooster booster. Tonight gave him meds again. He is looking good and holding his head up. I know its gonna be awhile before he really starts to feel but at least he is improving.
I Did back xrays today and actually got out of the house and did a couple of errand. Made me sleep all afternoon though and I couldnt move well. Im ok right now.

The sparrow from south of the border has come back again this afternoon. I’m guessing it’s because of all the available tasty feed here. (Sure isn’t my charm, making her stay!)

Glad he seems to be improving, hope this is a trend that will continue. They do make us worry.
