Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I called all around the street and entered some gardens with open gates. But my cat led the 3 chickens back into the back once, so maybe it was him again. He was acting really strange like he knew what was happening, my friend said the same.
He thought pusscat was looking somehow
He came up to me after demanding food and treats

She sat in my lap for ages while I sent texts and called friends to update. She was so relaxed the little devil

Yep she was definitely scenic-ing

Oh no, I was just going to post on your loss of Tina and now poor Princess. I am devastated for you. There are chickens on here who while not yours they become just as loved as if they were. For me Princess was one of those chickens. She was beautiful, loved, and the ever Grumpy Chicken. I am soo sorry to hear this. May she and Tina both rest in peace. If there is any comfort in this it is that she will not spend the winter missing her friend.

She is back safe and sound and after eating she just wanted her cosy coop.

I'm shattered and going to wash and get to bed ASAP.

Good night everyone

Yup - if the owner even takes the fur-ball in, many owners are so oblivious about their pets.


I have sent many a dog to the animal control here, and I do not tell owners - so sad too bad for them. If they cannot be responsible for their animals they shouldn't have them. I spend heaps of money to ensure my horses are contained and safe for everyone - dog owners should do the same, many accidents have been caused by vehicles swerving to miss dogs on the road.

One neighbour up the road from me, had their dog always in my paddocks, I could never catch the suck, but I did warn the owners on multiple times to keep the dog contained. One winter morning I was coming home with a load of hay and there was the dog, dead in the ditch. So I went up to their door, and when she came out I told her, and her kids with her that 'your dog is dead in the ditch, looks like he has been there all night'.

'Oh, no' she whined 'my husband let him out to do his business and he didn't come back in, he never runs off'

Astonished I looked at her and in front of her kids said 'WTH do you mean he never runs free? I have been here no less than 4 times warning you about him running and chasing my horses. AND did you and your husband not even think to check the ditch in case he was injured and in the ditch? Well? No I guess not and I bet your dog died a horrible slow death freezing to death in that ditch last night. I am glad you dog is dead now he isn't suffering, you are horrible pet owners'.

Oh she blustered and squawked, I walked away, I had hay to unload. Morons. They never did get another dog, and they moved away that Spring.

So no I have no sympathy for stupid dog owners, yes as CB stated dogs are apex predators, and esp if you get 2 or more, they get right stupid chasing things. Which is why I have a zero bad manners policy here with my friends and families dogs.

We have a saying in the horse world - there are no problem horses only problem riders. Well same with dogs (and while we are at it kids too), there are no bad dogs only stupid bad owners.

OK I am off my soap box now

Here is a chuckle I came across - wish I has seen it for yesterday!

My 2 girls, they are wonderful with MY flock and horses. That said, when there is a horse show or even a group of people down at the barn riding my girls are inside. CeeCee is iffy with people she does not know. She has to meet them a few times for her to be comfortable. My horses may be good with dogs underfoot, that does not mean someone else's are. I do not want it on my mind that I got someone hurt because their horse spooked at the sight of one of my dogs. At the shows several people bring their dogs. Yes they may be leashed but I do not like seeing them lunging at the end of their leashes as horses ride by. Try that with Russ who is a angel and has let his previous owners dog ride on his butt. Russ will kick out at the offending dog. One of these days it will not be pretty when he connects with the dog is all I have to say. I just hope he misses the owner. Wait I take that back, If the one on the end of the leash is a child I hope he misses. If it is a adult well they should know better.

Naughty, naughty Princess. She looks proud of herself and would 1000x do it again. Sending her and you a big hug.

I’m depressed about Tina being gone

Your chooks are going to give me a heart attack! So sorry about Tina

Back at you. I'm a nervous wreck after this month plus.

I can't believe how settled she became on my lap, she actually enjoyed her cuddle and let me tickle her wattles, not like her at all

Princess was upset (so was i) but after she came back she just settled down.

I'm counting my blessings, a good friend helped me to Bury Tina and Princess understood she had passed and I didn't kill her. Secondly Tina survived 2 years and two months happily. She didn't suffer long.
I think the fireworks got to her nerves on top of being poorly.

At least I still have princess
