Fly high and free, beautiful Ginny. You were much loved.

Did you do the mill tour?

I did go inside the mill, but I just skimmed through each tour. I did go inside the classroom and saw wool spinning and bees. Did you go see the classroom?

Great! He is a mighty rooster!
Haven’t seen many pictures of him standing, mostly either a close-up of his head or sitting on your chest, so this is nice. Thank you!

Tell that to the Royal court of Aurora the Queen. I think he deserves a knights status in Fluffy Butt Acres. My Mister Wyandottey will rule in justice and authority at this end of the continent regardless.

Rumex obtusifolius? Mine absolutely love both the leaves and the seeds, it's one of their favourites.

This is the plant that I was feeding Butters a small leaf of, and she pulled it and I lost my grip. She downed the whole thing, she was on the other side of the fence, and by the time I ran around she had eaten it all. She then appeared ill some days later, and stopped eating and was doing poorly. Days after that I saw a bit of something hanging out her vent, and inspected and slowly and gently pulled, and it turned out to be the stem, I think it was 4”-5” long. Very tough fibrous stuff!

Somebody pooped an infectious glob at one point, I believe it was her. She had digestive issues after that, I tube-fed her and she did okay and gained back weight, but couldn’t maintain on her own, and she declined and died.

Can’t say which came first, her inability to grind up the stem, and it exacerbated that, or if it caused her a problem, but it all started with that plant stem. If I give them any, I always tear the leaf part off for them. They do that themselves when they pick at it, it is so tough to pull out they can’t eat the stem.

Mighty doesn’t mean experienced. He needs more of that under his belt it seems. How old is he?

Up on two years. But why wait?
