Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

CeeCee is giving me grief. She is not adjusting well at all to Gracie's passing. She is on a hunger strike. She keeps looking for Gracie. Part of her not eating is even though she was the bigger of the two, Gracie was always the boss. CeeCee never ate until Gracie started, no matter how hungry she was. She has her bowl filled, but she looks at it, then goes searching for Gracie and then gives up and lays down beside it ignoring it. Telling her it is ok, and to eat, well, I might as well be talking to a brick wall. Mom was able to hand feed her a little bit of ham yesterday. She would not touch it when we put it on top of her dog food. This has been a hard spring. As rough as it has been on us, it has also been hard on CeeCee. She did not take loosing both Grandma and Jack well at all either, now she has lost her best friend and probably in her eyes mother.
This is how she is right now and has been. Just laying there, not sleeping and staring off into the distance.

I have joked previously she is too fat and needs to loose a few pounds, but this is not the way to go about it girl.
I need my weird yoga doggy back.

Good night fluffy butt's

Good night!

That’s awful! Has she ever raised chicks before successfully? That’s so sad

No which is why I shouldn’t have trusted her. But I never had any issues with the others. I was complacent.

I think Pastel is a girl.

Yeah

The best way to learn something is with failure, in my opinion. Doesn’t make it any easier though

I kinda fell off of Auggie on Tuesday…

I asked him to canter, and he was doing great for a few seconds. He decided to put his head down and shy off to the side. I lost my balance and went over his shoulder. First I landed in my right shoulder, and then on my bum. Both hurt
I’m not exactly sure how breakaway stirrups work, but I don’t think that the leather is supposed to snap… mine did though. At least they work
I got back on and walked and trotted around with normal stirrup and a stirrup that is missing a side…
My shoulder and arm hurt like &$&@ but other than that I’m fine. Of course, Dad was there to watch me ride.
Once I got back in he started yelling at me and was telling me that I look tense.
Like, you haven’t ridden a horse since you were my age, so please hush!

You fell off. Not kinda. You did fall off.

I hope you're ok.

Thanks!

I owe lots of tax…
All of these are from a while ago.
Bolt judging me when I was cuddling her on my porch.

Willow judging me before I put the Ayam Cemani’s and Bolt’s chicks under her.

Circe judging me for no apparent reason.

Willow and all of her chicks judging me when I put them under her. (RIP one of the AC’s and the light grey chick)

BBQ judging me because my egg cooking skills aren’t up to her standards.

Ruby judging me because of my phone case. And @Ponypoor, here are wattles and a BR to help you feel better

Gumbo judging me because of the bird cake I gave him and because he’s mad I gave him away.

Opal judging me just because she is a little butt head even though I’ve always wanted a Bielefelder.

Pastel judging me because I locked him up in a timeout coop.

And Splotch judging me just because she can as the Queen.

I could go on and on because all of my chickens are judgy. Especially Bolt and Opal.

The ones not pictures are Crystal, Eli, Aphrodite and the six other Polish.
