    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Garden hoses are a pain to use... that's why we were pleasantly surprised w/ the lightweight (lighter than rubber) steel hoses. I would never shell out that much $$$ for repeat purchases if they weren't good. It suits our brutal summers here. Also, love this hose (or electrical cord) winding...

    TY for the info. I agree about the 100' heavy duty... they are very heavy so we put ours in a permanent location so only the end 25 ft of it moves around for watering the backyard trees & container pots. For more mobile locations our 50' steel hose is remarkably lighter than we anticipated for...

    So cute 💕 Those "accent" feathers come in dark on stripey birds but eventually open up normally silver/black like they're supposed to. I worried at 1st but relieved when the solid black feathers grew out to be stripey. Dana w/ some black "accent" feathers that eventually turned normal

    Poor feather growth was what I noticed on birds that were not quite "right" & were "off" in their health whether as chicks or adults. It's a real telltale sign that something is wrong ~ usually something internal like cancer or leukosis, etc. Nothing curable in those cases 🙁
