Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[TX Chick Noob]

Lost Jet today.

I keep waiting to post until I am caught up, and then keep getting behind again. Finally caught up today, and before I post all ten other things I have been saving I have to start by saying that Jet, one of my “blue” laced Wyandottes died today. Her lacing was so dark it looked black. I have no idea what happened. Went out after work to check everyone and she was already stiff and cold. It has been really hot and humid, but still cooler than we have had many times. We have been keeping ice in the insulated water jugs. It had all melted but the water really wasn’t that hot. And I found her in the coop, which has four fans blowing in it. Still trying to look over cameras to see if she was acting weird. All I have found so far is when she walked into the corner where I found her, which is in a blind spot. She doesn’t have any peckmarks or any apparent injuries.

I will post more about other things later today. But needed to get this out first.

Farewell Jet. I will miss you.

I can’t find any recent photos of her as an adult. But here are some of her growing up.

On a happier note, I almost missed that one of my photos was chosen for the Pets and Livestock Caption Contest! It ends today if any of y’all want to enter a caption.

Shoes are there, I just kicked them off to dry off my feet

But having said that I have many times cleaned horses stalls in bare feet - now, I also have to say I would NOT go bare foot with the chooks about - them there cecal poops are yucky!

I'm so very sorry for your loss. It's never easy to find them passed away like that. She was a beautiful lady.

I love your cat. She looks a lot like my Junapurr.

Castor has a friend.

this is Bijou. She's 3 months old, mama wandered into a friend's place and turned out to be pregnant. Also, mama looks to be at least part Maine Coon.
