Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Good night everyone.

I saved the shrimp tails from grandma's dinner last night. This morning I made sure that Blueberry, Trudy and Judy each got 2 special delivered while they were on the nest. They deserve it, they are the only ones saving me from egg containers full of only white eggs. Poppet and Owly got the rest. It is almost January and Poppet is 7 and a half months old. She now gets to start being bribed with Owly to start laying any time she wants, please.

Is she starting to cluck at all or is she sounding more grown up? Is she squatting?

Two for Tuesday

Two chickies warming up under the sweeter heater

And out and about yesterday

Old friends Red and Larry - same age but seems Red didn’t get the good genes

Two roosting ladies

Mr P putting up with Penelope’s ministrations.

And another egg mystery solved - Sue is the one laying the lovely plum coloured ones.

Cash, Sue, and Tippy today

Is she starting to cluck at all or is she sounding more grown up? Is she squatting?

Owly sounds grown up and on a few occasions has joined other girls into singing the egg song. She is closer then Poppet for sure. Poppet, she is a total spazzy teenager with a almost adult voice. Neither have squatted. Branch also has zero romantic idea's about Poppet as well. He is back to running and chasing the ladies now, so I am watching for that clue.

Sorry it's a joke here in uk. Men always seem to suffer more than women when they get colds.

Now I feel like I'm honestly suffering so I'm calling it man flu. My chest is painful and I can't stop sneezing .

I hope you get well soon.

Not just in the UK - we call it that here also. The guys dare not whine too much when sick or they get told they are wimps. And have the man flu

I go sit in my nest if I'm sick.

What's man flu?
I'm still getting over that co- *insert coughing fit here*

How i wish I'd tried the Netti pot that was suggested to me, ( as the native Americans would say) many moons ago and repeatedly by a few people throughout the years.

I got on well with my salt nose wash but tonight I tried this neti pot out of desperation. What a huge help this is.

I bow down too every single person that suggested it. They ALL were absolutely right.

By the way. I know exactly how I caught this, it was a filthy selfish man.

He was in a health spa on the reception and cooking food without gloves or a mask. Forgive my bluntness, but reasons are I made suggestions how he could temporarily clean the mucous from his nose and clean up a little and he scoffed me like I was a complete idiot.
Both my friend and I came down with his rotten cold. Rotten being the word.

Hence MAN FLU.
He ruined our Christmas

In this case it was a very selfish uncaring Man flu

I've tried this... sort of. I kept running the solution down the back of my throat. Yuck. I got the "surgilator" or whatever it was called. Haven't stuck with it enough to say it helps.

I have suggested this to hubby for his sinus issues. HARD NO from him.

I feel like I should set a good example.
