Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Things are going ok. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow. Something has to give with my right shoulder. It started acting up about 3 months ago and it has gotten progressively worse. I cannot lay on my left side without it throbbing. I also cannot reach around with that arm to unsnap my bra. Raising it straight up in the air, nope not happening either. I am right handed, so naturally without thinking I use this arm to do something and it leads to tears. When Poppet showed her sass and I had to grab her quickly without thinking I quickly extended that arm out to snatch her. Lots of curse words were said and plenty of tears. Another thing that worries me is when I do aggravate it, I have numbness and or tingling radiating from my elbow to my fingertips that can last for a hour. I am afraid something is torn. It had started bothering me a few weeks before grandma fell and was hospitalized. Breaking her fall that day, really did me in and it has went downhill from there.

That sucks! Well that's just miserable. Sure hope your Dr can get something for you to help you at least get some good sleep

And who knew chasing chooks around could be so hazardous

Spooky is turning into such a pretty little pullet. She just runs away every time she see's me coming with the camera. The trick to getting a picture with her is the zoom lenses. If I do not have the camera with me, I can walk right up to her and pick her up.

I love the fence to tree maneuver. Obviously you put the fence there to help them get into the trees more easily.

Ok sure, we can go with that

So, while the beard, muffs and feathered legs are nice, I just LOVE her supper fluffy pantaloons

Mugs Monday: Becky!
Who is super chatty, and single-handedly keeps me in eggs. She’s second to last in the adult’s pecking order, and wishes ill upon the pullets. She charges them constantly, although luckily won’t pursue for further than 4-5 feet. She is also the first of the flock to go boneless in a beam of sunlight View attachment 3683031

Love this, and your description too!

Robin went into the nest box. She scratched around a bit. But no egg.

Any. Day. Now.

Have to 'try it on for size' before you buy, you know! But that is usually a good indicator that within a few days she will actually lay!

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can get a diagnosis and some good PT.

Beautiful black chicken. Just my type! Nice and fluffy.

Does Samara count as bearded? She definitely has the cheeky poofs

From this picture, it looks like she has muffs but no beard..
