Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Gigachad poultry]

And the Pilot's didn't say what it was? Could be Auroras but they generally wax and wane and fluctuate. St Almos fire I don't think lasts for an hour... but then what do I know - I have not seen either from an aeroplane at 37,000' ! An amazing sight either way

Yeah the pilot didn't say anything about it but the even more interesting thing was that I could look straight at the sun and it didn't hurt, it was Aldo a shining green like seen in the photo I put down below.

 

[LhickenChicken]

Awe, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it like that. I meant that they are so eggspensive that their eggs might as well be made of gold.
Sorry for reminding you of you're wonderful girl.

Yes. But her eggs literally were golden. They had a golden sheen to them.

Very strange

I have been putting off making this announcement until it became official. Louis just left for his new home. My mother is heartbroken but it was not fair for him to rarely be ridden. Rosie has Russ and dad focuses on Dirt. A classmate of Rosie's bought him. He will now have his own 14 year old boy to spoil him rotten. This has been in the works for 2 weeks now and he just left about 30 minutes ago. He did not have far to travel, his new home is down at the barn. The big house has been rented by his new family so mom will get to see him daily. Honestly, I do not know if that is a good thing but for now it is a comfort to her. Louis was her 1000lb big red dog. I am saddened but also happy. Rosie will have a riding buddy, they are already planning on trail rides. On Keegan's first time trying Louis out Rosie and Russ showed him her favorite trail.
Thank you Louis, thank you for being Rosie's first teacher. Thank you for being a confidant. Now go forth and shine. You will no longer have to share you time and attention with 2 other horses. Every pet, hug and kiss will be yours and yours alone.

Butter is worrying too. She is too thin. Until the vet comes for a flock check CB tries to tempt her to eat, and tube feeding.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27018551
An update on Butter's health : no issue detected by the vet, but definitely underweight. Could it be a molting issue like poor Sansa ? https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27023076

Pastel the rooster was feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the losses on BYC and in real life ; and she got a few "pep talks" which hopefully cheered her up a little. And some issues still with Bbcue, and her family doesn't want her to spend time on BYC !

Not chicken related: Truly gave Kelly a huge scare falling over in the night in the mud and not being able to get up on her own. Luckily Kelly managed to help her, but she's very worried that Truly could get herself in a dangerous and painful situation.
