Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Your Highness Queen Aurora,

I am excited to be following your example of laying gorgeous pink eggs, and even though I don’t have a beard and muffs, I do have a cheeky topknot (and yes my Dada is a chicken like Phyllis) which make me unique.

The big brown egg is from Raven she is mean to me! But I lay beautiful pink eggs and she doesn’t.

Oh um… I got last in the championship round. 13 out of 13. It’s the biggest class I’ve ever been in, and I’ve done 3 championship shows.
And then I’m my next ride I did a canter ride and Lenny walked out of the arena. I just did a circle outside of the arena and trotted him back in, then picked up the canter and did my circle. So no ribbons. I’m disappointed but oh well.

Yes! They are huge. Ruby closest to my hand, Opal in the middle, and the big man Gumbo closest to his mama. This was a few weeks ago, so they’ve grown even more. View attachment 3686287

Well some you win some you don’t, that’s life.

But remember it’s all about you and the horse having fun

Those chicks are gorgeous

“Climbed” back over the fence! That’s not what you want to hear View attachment 3686132

If it wasn’t for the internal fence that separates the chickens from the rest of the property, that dog would have probably hurt the chickens

Actually the animals feet touching the ground complete the circuit. The addition of a ground wire is used if the ground is too dry, or rocky and the circuit can’t be completed.

Same as my wearing rubber boots, they will insulate me from the shock of the electric fence - but if I were to say grab the wire mesh fence and the electric top wire at the same time (ya I did that), then the circuit could be completed if there is an ability for the electrical charge to travel to the ground.

It’s all about the ability to enable the electrical charge to travel to the ground.

ZAP!

Yes. Exactly. But we were talking about a dog climbing a fence where his feet would no longer be on the ground.
In that case the solution used for rocky soil would work to zap a dog who was climbing the fence and had his feet off the ground but was in contact with the second wire.

Mornin! My mom is taking me to a bake sale here in a bit. Hopefully I can get some cinnamon free goodies.

Gave the ladies a whole corn stalk. They mostly wanted out of the gate! Not even afraid that the dog was in the backyard.

Here they come!

The first three, surprisingly Ash wasn't the first out. Granted, she stole the piece of bread I had in my hand so I guess she was busy...

You don’t like cinnamon? Me neither! Tough time of year for that.

But, the dog climbed the fence - ostensibly a wooden fence - so the dog would be 'insulated' from the ground by the fence as he came over the top to Alex's side...hence the need for the pos/neg wires at the top.
