Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Best fluff pic I have at the moment. They're giving me EVERYTHING except the fluff.View attachment 3792127And they're moving about! And Hyacinth came out with them yesterday....out the big door...and went around to the bird door to rejoin the littles.

She looks so tiny compared to the bigs!

She looks so tiny compared to the bigs!

The silver laced wyandottes look tiny compared to the detective crew only a week older, and compared to the Brahma sisters the same age.

Integration is obviously fine

Next to Hector (sorry about the orientation, camera did wierd things).

And again all, spread out. The tiny ones on the end.....

Wow. They really are tiny! But not in spirit it seems.

Some family issues have been going on.

My grandfather (Dads dad) hasn’t been doing so hot for a while now. He lives in Tampa. Dad’s brother has been the one dealing with most of it. Dad and my uncle don’t have a good relationship. They don’t talk and they haven’t seen each other for years. Like, last time they saw each other, I wasn’t even born- although I’m not sure how long ago it was.
Dad was talking about how good of a job Uncle E. has been doing, but Uncle thought the was talking bad about him. So, of course because it’s the logical thing to do, he cut my dad and grandfather off and left all of the stuff to my dad. This happened yesterday, so today dad drove four hours down to Tampa. He will be getting back on Saturday.
Sunday he needs to fly to Vegas for some work stuff. He got elected NATCA area rep so he needs to go to training. He will be gone for a week.
I have no idea what the heck is wrong with my uncle though. Last spring my family was in Tampa and he was too. He drove past my grandfathers house, saw my dad’s car, and drove away, calling my grandpa. My grandpa had his phone on speaker, and my uncle started saying all this stuff about how he has no interest in seeing my dad or any of us. I’ve never met him, so I honestly don’t care, but it still hurt me because my dad had to hear it.

Well, I need to go. I’ll be on later.

I know it's not Twofer Tuesday, but I wanted to share two lone chickens. Grandma just can't seem to get her fragile legs standing anymore. I've thought about getting quails. We'll speak about that later.

Oh my gosh “World Wrestling”

I’m glad you found help! And heartwarming it was a strong woman instead of a dude.

What is your plan for the bag at home? Use a scoop to fill small buckets? Perhaps increasingly large buckets as you get stronger?

This time I got it off the back deck of the car and carried over to a bin, then opened it and decanted to smaller containers. Other times I have decanted it right from the car, but a few pellets sometimes get loose, go down in crevices, and I don't want them attracting mice. I might decant right there in the parking lot if the weather's okay!

Somethings happening with Sir Jaffar today (kinda like ry neck action) but then he snaps out of it. His comb is ice cold. I’m holding him and not leaving him alone.

I spend a lot of time with him, making sure that his crop is full and that he drinks plenty of water.

You are such a good buddy for him to have!

His crop was full last night but it’s empty this morning. So he’s processing his feed correctly.
He’s being shaky like he is cold off and on.

If Queen Aurora went broody, it would be the beginning of the apocalypse!
Same as my Hen-Rietta!

No, I'm talking about my Aurora, this Aurora
