Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BeefQuesoritto]

I found an injured dove on the road this morning and put it in my well house with a chick waterer and some chicken feed. When I came back, she was flying around. So I let her back out, and she's been hanging around my cottonwood. Good luck, little bird.

Egg 2 was laid. It's whiter, still little. Real little, not much larger than a quail's. I wonder if it's even the pullet's though. It could possibly be the allegedly 3 year old fayoumi hen I bought. They're both very small birds. My rooster is smaller than a barred rock pullet.

They also grow large very quickly. They are a great tree if you want shade from a sapling quickly.

This is good to know, I really like the leaves on those trees, not sure if mine has flowered or not, I rarely go down the bottom of the paddock. I need a nice huge tree back there for shade.

Happy Tuesday everyone, I have some catching up to do. My mind has been scattered and in dark and scary places for the last month. While I have tried to keep up I have retained nothing really. I had my first Mammogram the middle of June. A month ago I received a letter that rocked my world when it came back that a nodule was discovered and I needed another one plus a possible ultrasound and biopsy. There is a history of breast cancer in my family, my grandmother beat it 26 years ago. This morning I went and had the tests done. The technician said first was the more in depth mammogram and images were being sent straight to the radiologist to review. If a ultrasound was needed we would know right away. 10 minutes later confirmed I needed a ultrasound. At this point panic is starting to set in. The ultrasound tech let me look at the screen while she located the "nodule" and measured it. I asked her how big was it if she could tell me. The letter I received said almost 7mm. She measured it to be 6.6mm. She sent the radiologist the images and told me to wait incase he needed more or if the biopsy needed scheduling. She must have told him I was worried because he gave her permission to tell me the nodule is nothing more then a lymph node which explains why that area is tender at times. No biopsy needed and no more mammograms for 2 years. I broke down and cried when I got the answer, a weight has been lifted and prayers answered. I came home and crashed. I really have not slept good for a month now. After my nap I went out and spent time with Perdita and her little one who is 4 days old. Perdita is a wonderful momma so far. A little over protective, quick to flog anyone who crosses her path but very attentive. I have not been flogged, but the chickens and the cat Trixie have. Her unfortunate victims did not deserve it, they just simply walked by her. Perdy has a bubble, 4 feet or closer is too close, do not invade her and her chicks bubble.
Pictures of the little munchkin. She is not for sure named yet so open to suggestions. Right now Rosie wants to name her Meridah from Disney's brave since she is a single chick. Claims it is a good strong name and Meridah has wild and crazy hair so it would suit a silkie. She is right, would really suit a silkie......a red silkie though so we will see. The munchkin is also black, but I swear this is the bluest black chick I have ever hatched out.

It is already evident she will be bearded and have a nice full head poof. I am in love. I wish more then 1 would have hatched and made it, but it was not in the cards. It is ok, in 3 or 4 months she will be stunning and have the look I want in a silkie.
