Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I would like to introduce everyone to the first of the named wee ones.

In honour of the brave and wonderful Sir Jaffar, I would like you all to meet, his namesake, Jaffarra. May she be as brave and lovely as her namesake.

I'm really glad to hear that Bert is learning well.

Yes, so far it’s all good. As long as he doesn’t start fighting with Mr P then he can stay

Make no mistake, he wasn’t very friendly to A- hole hoomans. He could spot an A- hole a as mile away, and attack them.

He was truly a discerning fellow.

Nobody forgets Eli, just fyi

It's impossible to forget her.

Yeah if one of the high ranking hens (samara or morinth) goes broody then I'll consider her. Maybe Shep as she's pretty beloved by everyone, they just don't fight her?
Raising the babies those first two weeks were killer on my OCD so if I can get away with having a hen do all the worrying and fussing I'll be happy haha. Or buy pre started birds.
Hubby is 100% down with getting a Polish hen and rooster. Maybe a trio. I just need to find a breeder near here. And probably later this year or next year of course.

I have chicks!

Dawn had one clear egg, and one that quit. Total five eggs. Minus two eggs = three eggs. All three hatched. Their names are Sine, Cosine, and Tangent.

I have told her of his passing and she asked if we could fly her flag at 1/2 mast. Sadly we cannot, so we are removing it for the weekend in his honor.

This is very gratuitous and I thank you and the Queen for the kind gesture.

I was holding back tears until I read this one, now.

I have been trying to get my mind off of the loss by entertaining my six new chicks. But the way they try to fly, makes me think that I might need an air traffic controller. They keep crashing into each other.

I hope that it is a defect that she grows into, and hope that it isn't something indicative of some sort of hydrocephaly.

If she is eating, drinking and pooping then I would just cross my fingers and hope for the best; as for another chick pecking her, I might put her in with a very quiet chick that doesn't have an urge to peck, or I wonder if some sort of protective goggle can be made up for her.

Yes I am looking at the pinless peepers for her. I know it wouldn’t be anywhere near 100% and certainly not what they were meant for but … some protection has gotta be better than none. Idk we shall see how it all develops. Maybe I will get lucky and as she grows it will be less pronounced.
