Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

She said “momma, you’re not gonna get my frog! Go away!”

I wasn’t sure at first what it was! Didn’t want her eating something she shouldn’t, a frog is ok though.

She sure can move for a big girl, and her foot is doing well, she is hardly limping today at all.

Forgot to get pics. Looks like 4/7 of Samara and Morinth's babies are boys. So it's a good thing I'll be adding 3 more hens later this fall.
Here's a pic from last week.

Trickster has been courting Shiba-san and Nyx, neither girl is really into it yet but hey, they're at least closer to his size!

The lady hasn't responded about meeting up to take Disco. I hope she does, I would much rather he go to a home versus in my crockpot.

Morinth is thinking of weaning the chicks. She is returning to normal sounds, and joined the feeding frenzy when I brought out eggshells for everyone. I think her molt is finishing as well, she is looking sleek and pretty. I'll enjoy her minty green eggs.

Other than that, my brain doctor and I were talking about "grounding" today, with all of the electronics and busy-ness of life it's important to go touch dirt, sit in nature if possible, garden, whatever. I told him how I go talk to my chickens when I get a chance, and how hubby thought it was annoying at first (because kiddo gets hyper a bit before bed and won't let him play video games haha) but now he understands that it's the biggest break I get from worrying about anything in the house. <3 I think him taking a week off showed him just how busy the house is in the first half of the day.

You’re moving pretty fast yourself!

Can I buy you a copper walking stick? Just promise me that you won’t use it during lightning storms?

CeeCee came in the house, made a huge mess and spilled water everywhere. I brought Dakota inside to help me clean up the mess.

THAT QUACKS ME UP !!!

You’d think that my rooster the Wyandottey, would have perfected his crowing skills by now. But he still sounds like a rubber chicken being squeezed.
It would have been easier to just buy a rubber chicken!

Rubber chickens aren't as warm or cuddly

Aww, but it would show off my ELECTRIC personality!

Those chicks sure have come along nicely! Isn’t it always amazing how fast they grow?

Well I sure hope the lady does call back, he is a very pretty cockerel.
