Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Oh she was stunning. I’m so sorry that you lost her.

The last song I ever sang to Chaco, was
Come with me, and you’ll see, a world full of pure imagination. Sang slowly and with feeling! Yes I loved her very much.

She would full Gallup to the fence from across the property, just to eat a carrot, or an apple that I brought for her.

The one thing I hate more than anything in the world is that our pets whom we live more than the world will never stay with us on earth. But they are in our heart and watching over us. I’m sure that she loved when you sung to her.

I gotta go now, I’m feeling kinda bummed out about Chaco.

I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you.

I saw some horses today. I was setting up for a rodeo that my school FFA is hosting, and the broncos got to stretch their legs. Stunning creatures. and the kid in teal went in there with them. He’s fine. He knows how to behave around animals but it was amusing watching him climb the fence. BUT LOOK AT THE GREY! I am pretty sure that s/he is a piebald. S/he has a little bit of black on him/her. But the bays are so pretty too!

Hey all! Life just isn't allowing me to do much more than lurk these days. I keep popping on and trying to read a bit...but you folks all know hour fast this thread moves. Hope all is well.

We're pretty good here...except poor Sheba. She just can't catch a break. I've decided that I badly misjudged my roosters. I hope they're happy in their new homes.

But Sheba, I guess this is bullying. I suppose I should have caught it sooner, but at times I don't get out to the coop except for shutting it up and my husband...well, observant he's not. Her bald patches never grew back in...but today I found this: View attachment 3766246View attachment 3766247

She isn't bleeding. She doesn't act injured. All the others are fine. (They look bedraggled because of the pouring rain all day.) She's being bullied, right? One of the others is doing this? I mean, this isn't moulting and no one else has bald spots. I've noticed no mites.

Other than putting her into the small coop to heal, I don't know what to do. I'd take out the bully if I knew who it was. It could be Meanie or Goldie. It's not Eenie that I can imagine. Poor girl.

Anyone have suggestions?

It certainly could be bullying, but her comb is in good shape. I would think that she would have a few bruises or scabs up there if she were being bullied.
Perhaps the others are helping her out by plucking those pesky pin feathers out?

I would separate her out into the small coop for a couple of weeks to see whether the pin feathers start to grow in unbothered, but set it up right in the room with the rest of the flock but fenced off so she isn’t lonely.

oh, how I love staying up until after midnight doing a project that is due tomorrow. One that I’ve not even started yet… and I should also do one for the same class that’s a week overdue.

On a brighter note, my polishes are hatching on Monday. I should get them by Tuesday. I am just worried that I won’t be able to tell them apart even as adults.

I love greys, but mine is giving me a lot of trouble lately. We had a nice warm day recently and he got all spring feverish, and of course, has rolled in mud as much as is horsely possible. I tried to clean him up while it was raining the past few days. Big mistake. Smears down his withers, rump, and sides. I will be waiting for a good 3-4 sunny day stretch before attempting again. My efforts will be futile otherwise. Meanwhile, the chestnuts of the bunch are all  not purposely coating themselves. Especially Fancy, whose dignity wouldn't allow it.
