Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I also wonder if it could mean your chicks are female.

I never considered that. Wouldn't that be lovely

She could squiggle out of there if she was that unhappy! Maybe she wanted a little mothering herself after all the stress of keeping the littles in check. LadyF is a bit more relaxed/allowing for adventure as a mom than Glynda.

This is very true. It will be interesting to see who let's go of them first or if they both let go at the same time.

Another blast from the past Pony Sunday.

These are horse that were once boarded down at the barn.
Rosie on Peanut the first horse to throw her. Devil pony but character building.

Poor Minnie, she was at the mercy of Rosie and 3 other children younger then her.

Horse camp fun. She really learned to ride and it was downhill for me from there. Ole Ruth. A been there, done that, 25 year old standardbred who taught countless kids to ride. It was her last year being used for the camp as she was retired from riding not long afterwards.

Bud, the other standardbred that was used for the camp. Rosie really liked him. We actually almost bought him for her instead of Russ. We probably would have except Russ came along a few months later and there was no denying he was the horse she was meant to have.

Looking awfully pink in the comb, and the tail is confusing. I can keep ONE boy unless they're besties and share well...

I often see some of the hens do that with my roosters if they try to keep just one small piece of good stuff for themselves , and I always think to myself "how rude !" But I never saw the chicks doing it. Maybe because the two broodies I had, tended to leave anything good to eat to their chicks ? I had trouble getting them to eat enough until they weaned the chicks.

I also wonder if it could mean your chicks are female.
Have some of you who raised male chicks ever seen them doing that ?

I have two late Pony Sunday pictures, a few of my neighbour's cows and calves with the former abandoned old horse, now renamed Mojo and definitely living with them (although the human drama has escalated to a very sad no return point). They had broken out of their enclosure. Apparently something scared them, either one of the LGD or a wolf interested by the calves maybe.
