    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I think it is going ok. She seems to have a little trouble finding the teats sometimes. It doesn’t help that LaLa has a “false teat” right beside one of her other ones. It is a lot smaller but I think the baby still latches on to it by accident every now and then. I have tried to watch for her...

    I am once again several weeks behind, but had to post to say one of my goats had her kid this morning! Little girl, 3 lbs 6 oz which I think is within normal range for a single Pygmy cross kid. Lala and baby both seem to be doing ok. Baby goat tax

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    All four of mine have been broody at least once. Indigo and Henrietta do it at least twice a year and are pretty persistent.

    Hmmm, she hasn’t logged in to her account since early December. And latest post I found was October. Sure hope she and Rosie are ok. Does anyone have a way to contact her outside of this website? My Flutterbots are BLRW (or blue laced gold). Here are some pics over the past few years.

    @RoyalChick This was beautifully written, and the love you had for him shined brightly in every word. It had me crying all over again for the loss you have endured. I hope writing it has helped you along the path towards healing. Fly high Mr Chips. You were indeed well loved in your all too...

    I know the TSCs here get them at the post office. The small local feed store gets theirs in person from Ideal, since we are only about 20 miles away.

    Looks like this was Alex’s last post, on Dec 17. Don’t see where he said anything about being gone. His last log-in was Monday Dec 22. Really hope he is ok. :fl 😟

    Primarily weed control and pets. If I can get them halter trained they will also get to go on some “brush cleanup” excursions. Lucky, one of my ducks, has suddenly started moulting. Losing feathers in large quantities. Bad time of year to start that. Even in our climate.
