Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Still think I need some photos of chicks

You have your own chicks to torment with flashes

Fish tank update.

A week after I got Rosie's guppies and cories, one of the guppies got ick and passed. I apparently did not find it and remove it in time because within 2 days everything got it and died, babies included.

So I scrubbed the tank, waited a bit and went for round 2. It has been over a month now and I say this time it is a success. We changed it up this time around. Due to light requirements for the plant which is thriving, I'm fighting algae. Rosie picked out 4 snails. She has a yellow, black, blue and a white one. They are her favorite in the tank. When we went to pick out the new fish we got there soon after a new shipment came in and they had the shrimp. The employee's were not exaggerating when they claimed the shrimp sell out fast. They had 5 ghost shrimp left which we got. They also had 2 Orange Bee shrimp and 2 yellow Amino shrimp. Well, they were more expensive but those beauties also came home with me. My shrimp are thriving and one of the Bee's and one of the ghosties are already berried up so babies soon. She also picked out the last 3 ember tetra's they had. The shrimp are bigger then the tetra's so they are a perfect size for her tank. The shrimps favorite place is the green ball thing and around the driftwood. They are very active when I feed them. I will get another video later when it is time to feed them to catch most of the shrimpies. I want more shrimp. I'm stalking petco. I need the red cherry shrimp and the blue shrimp. I will get them eventually.

Awesome

This would have been an amazing pony Sunday!!!! Hope you have more for that day!

@RebeccaBoyd the shrimp addiction has begun! In online forums the colorful ones are referred to as "tank skittles"



A few pictures of shrimp I've had in the past. I really need to find a good place to set up my shrimp tank again, they were by far my favorite aquatic pet.

Shrimp tax
Fluffy butts and regal birds

Should I expect Aliss not to lay eggs while she's healing?

Mine that survived an attack I think laid that day, possibly the next too, then stopped for a month I think. So she may possibly lay whatever she has in queue but then stop. The hens that witnessed the attack (lost friends) stopped for a bit as well but resumed more quickly.

Miss Floppy (RIP) hiding up in the tree with Einstein after that attack.

Delft stopped laying around 2 weeks when she had food poisoning.

Egg update

All silkie eggs are hatched.

P1 is the only one remaining, I gave it a quick scan but don’t think it’s doing anything but it can stay till tomorrow morning.

Three wee kiddos gosh they are tiny compared to what the Noirans were!

A quick pic and back under mum

Yellow and some buff bits, chippy, and yellow and buff

Love the snails! Do they or the shrimp eat the algae?
I am just out of surgery and under instructions not to do anything too much. Of course they don’t really define what that means but I feel drugged up so will take it easy.

Cookie’s boots are really absurd.
