Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Lilion]

Sad, sad news tonight. Went out to put the chickens up, and Eenie popped up from her spot by the chicks, walked across the coop and settled, nestling firmly in beside Manny and the other hens.

Little Uno and Tres looked so forlorn, chirping at their mama...but then they fluffed their wings and squatted down together. They are 6 weeks, 4 days old now. It's getting down to 60 at night. They'll be okay, won't they?

Here's my chick mugshots...The unfortunately manly Tres.

And the comb and wattle-free Uno.

Poor abandoned babies.

Rico is my youngster, very sad about this

Oops, my bad. Still very sorry about your loss.

Board a woofer (like Kris's in-laws on the farm)


Saw the follow up. Why not?

I agree 100% with RM. It is your house and your animals. If mom doesn't want to or can't take care of the animals, then she can deal with a WOOFFer/boarder that will. Check around for a reputable person/source. I think there is an organization that screens and places people. @Kris5902 could probably give you the contact person's/organization's name/info!

Plus, you can always put interior door locks on some doors where you don't want them to go....such as a room where you keep all your banking and private papers, etc. Interior door locks, while not super-super secure, will keep honest people honest and only require changing t he door-knob. Something you can easily do! And, if you want to do that with multiple doors, you can get door knobs/locks keyed alike if you request them.

Bob was right about the chattering Kathys.

I had to do a side-by-side...but I see the resemblance!

I had to go back and look at your original Trump as well as Clementine and of course, Claudine
All three were really cute little babies.
You should know that it was Claudine who started me on this obsession I have now with black chickens. I just think they are so beautiful!

Awwww! That makes me happy! I am gonna get a new pic of Claudine for you cuz she is looking fabulous! Her beard and muff are coming in!!

A family portrait of mugs

I have to say that I started cracking up the moment I saw Nimbus trying desperately to still fit under mamma Storm's wing.

I seen that too! I got one but shes recovering from a fox attack on my watch early one morning. Yea, shes a limper for life it seems, but maybe she'll keep doing better and better? Cant scratch or jump or roost She gets around well enough tho.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I would go straight to bed after a nice bath too!

She is ever a smart lady.
