Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Poor Mr P. I'll bet he will be thrilled to get his silkie girls back. (Team go home Teddy!)

Poor mr P has his tail just pecked to pieces - I will need to separate them tomorrow.

 

[Ponypoor]

“Don’t go getting any ideas”


On Mr.P would you consider rehoming the ladies that are attacking him? Would make way for you to have some more babies and spare him some pain. I hate to see him being confined because of them!

It’s all of them! They are rotten little savage beasts! I wish he would just turn around and smack them down.

I will keep him separate at night and see if that controls it some, and if not then I will have to move him someplace safe.

All those on FBA who had been satisfied with the brooders they used gave recommendations ; some had no issue with the same model. It's possible that the auto-switch off was the problem or a defective unit.
He came up with a temporary solution that seems satisfying.

Thanks! That was wonderful

 

[RebeccaBoyd]

Poor mr P has his tail just pecked to pieces - I will need to separate them tomorrow.

Mr. P, stand up for yourself, you are the definition of hen pecked. I am happy to hear that Bert is starting to behave himself. If you did not have him though, I would be rooting for Teddy, or Tedward when he is a snit to stay.

Hillbilly Days Festival is going on in town. Started Thursday and ends Today after the parade. I have not gone in 5 or 6 years. I used to take Rosie to the carnival but then she got old enough and wanted to go with her horseshow buddy Mallory and not her mommy. I did not complain, here is your money, you are with someone I trust and when you are broke there is no begging and bleeding me for more, bye girl. Bonus, I am not going to turn green with your tilt-a-whirl obsession. I can handle that ride, just not 5 to 6 times in a row and it is her favorite. Yesterday I needed out of the house and well, I have not really left the house for 2 years for myself. Me and Rosie went together. Rosie decided she did not want to go to the carnival, bonus, instead we walked all over town looking at the vendors and food. She spent all her money and then Mommy please and I caved on some things. I did get 2 things just for me. I did not need anything but I never ever really buy myself anything. First is a ring.
View attachment 3806801
Nothing much but I spotted it while she was trying on rings trying to decide what she wanted. She ended up with a ring and 2 bracelets from this vendor. I liked it, silver and blue, perfect combo.
Then later on I spotted these and I had to have them. Rosie was like there is no way you can wear them out in public. Oh girl, you did it. You have a few dr appointments coming up, I WILL wear them now. You all will appreciate them and understand why they HAD to come home with me.
View attachment 3806807
I mean, what crazy chicken lady does not need rooster earrings?

I love them! And I love the colour of the stone in the ring

It’s so wonderful seeing you out and about, I am glad you had a good time - and no Tilt-n-whirl!

 

[Ponypoor]

Mr. P, stand up for yourself, you are the definition of hen pecked. I am happy to hear that Bert is starting to behave himself. If you did not have him though, I would be rooting for Teddy, or Tedward when he is a snit to stay.

I don’t think Shannon would want to have me keep him he is part of her flock.

He is hilarious - he attacks my pant legs like a litttle dog, grabbing and backing up pulling! I will have to video this behaviour, he stole my glove this morning and beat the living crap out of it and stomped it into the ground!

Last night he grabbed my sleeve nipping my arm in the process and tries to yank the sleeve off! What a little fart. But the girls have finally accepted him, and he is hopefully getting the job done!

 

[featherhead007]

Sir Jaffar helped me with making my bed and now we’re sitting near the air . He Cocorico.
It’s starting to warm up here today.

 

[RoyalChick]

It’s all of them! They are rotten little savage beasts! I wish he would just turn around and smack them down.

I will keep him separate at night and see if that controls it some, and if not then I will have to move him someplace safe.

This is breaking my heart.

 

[Ponypoor]

This is breaking my heart.

Mine also, but he is just a happy camper as always, running around boinking his ladies and showing them all the best nest spots

Where I ask you, where is it partly cloudy here - it is fully cloudy and raining snowing - come on Environment Canada - get a better grip on the weather report will ya!

My BIL and uncle put up mum’s gazebo in this horrid weather, I helped a bit but got a chill and had to come back inside.

My mum and my aunt her sister, seem to have had a wee bit too much wine they are now out there testing the gazebo out; my aunt tried to do a pole dance on the one post

My BIL and uncle just rolled their eyes.
