Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Hi! Good how are you? Anxiously waiting on the results for the calendar contest. She actually passed away a few years ago but I just love the phot so much.

Oh I didn’t realize that! It’s an awesome photo

Bielefleder roo?

No he is a 'slow grow' meat bird. I think a combination or RIR, BR, and who knows what else???? Trade secret - they won't share what went into making them! About 1/3 -1/2 the boys are barred, the rest look like a NHR (lighter than a RIR), and none of he girls are barred except 1 - and it is very faint barring - lighter red, slightly darker red...no white. The girls are all feathered like a NHR - RIR but lighter. SO, doubtful it is NHR in them, since they were bred for better production...so most likely diluted red with maybe a white like a WR??? Who knows.

Ohhh, I like the photo of Inky. Very artsy the way she is cocking her neck! YOu should submit it to POW!

Thanks, I am happy for them.

Hey, how are you doing? I keep meaning to ask

I am all healed up and doing fine. Thank you for checking on me I don't have to go back in to get another skin check until December. Right now, I am just trying to finish up my last three classes for my bachelors degree. So close!!

o
h, my gosh. You will give Mr. P heart attack trying to take care of all those girls! 28 girls for Mr. P to supervise alone????

Mr P seems to be not a controlling type of personality, so I'm guessing they may split into a group or two of willing hens that he will tend, and then one or more roo-less groups?

I flunked the math test. I got a 71. I studied all weekend, so I'm not quite sure how I got that low of a grade.

On the plus side, I put Eli with the others and I'm going that she is still alive tomorrow.

So, while a 71 isn't the best, it isn't flunking.

Can you go over the test with the teacher or a tutor to see if you do actually know the stuff (and are just freezing when taking a test in math), or if you need more help understanding it? Most people learn language based stuff better/quicker because that is the mode they are in for most of their awake time. That means that t generally takes longer to both process and 'set' mathematics in your brain. It doesn't mean you can't learn it - it just takes longer to be comfortable with it (and, by the time you are, you are already having to learn more stuff, so you never get a feeling of 'Oh, yes, I'm all set now'...because, again, you are pouring more math stuff into your brain while your brain is trying to solidify what you have already learned - but aren't yet 'comfortable' nor 'fluent' with it yet.

The other thing - it is best to study in small chunks frequently than long chunks of time - allows your brain to process small bits at a time. (like 1-1.5 hours tops.

Ah nice to see the Buddha Hen again!

Such a lovely pair! Those fly around wild in my yard sometimes in springtime.

I bet that must be awesome! People in Italian treat these birds like gold! Non quality birds are very frowned upon by other breeders. That's probably also why these guys make a lot of money when sold! I'm hoping to become a well known breeder once they start breeding in April and May.

That’s very exciting! What will your baccalaureate be in? I seem to recall you did say once but I can’t remember.
