Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Teehee! I know what you mean about missing time off the thread! We had a 5-hour power outage & even w/ backup batteries that ran out I was almost 20 pgs behind when I got back on!!

Depression? I and DH take minimum 500mg niacin to even out moods. DH has GAD which Dr prescribed 500mg niacin daily. Mental institutions give a minimum 2000 to their stressed depressed patients. Saffron also is good for moods ~ I like it in India or Chinese menus.

& Yum! Yum! Silkies! More plz!!!

Don't worry about late crowers in Silkie boys. Our one boy didn't crow till around 8-8 1/2 months & then he wouldn't shut up!!! But oh, how we loved that little twerp! He was beginning to turn into a very colorful Partridge before we had to return him to the breeder

He was a very handsome wee lad

I’m pretty sure that KiKi knows quail she seems to be the expert

Did I miss something? Who's Kiki?

I awoke at the quack of dawn!

Geese honk! Ducks are the QUACK-ers!

Who can blame them? As a little kid I used to sit and play in the mud puddles at the end of my grandparents' dirt/gravel driveway in my underwear

Did someone say "underwear"?!

c.1944 ~ Aww, come on! I was a cutie, eh?

c.1946 ~ mom's chickens & me, positively indecent! Must've been a hot summer, there's a huge tub of water in background for the hens!

Still need to trim up Marty and Georgie again.

Fluffy and Curly need trimming but they are just finishing moulting some don’t want to cut any blood feathers.

All my Silkies are so busy trimming each other's eyebrows that I miss the full fluff faces ~ but in the long run it's safer for them to SEE!

With lovely little chickys to keep you company

I’m flying off to Colorado now. My rooster has been making me crazy. But I spent all night trying to persuade him that he is not in charge of the world, I am!! Darlene has graciously agreed to take care of my home in my absence. She’s trusted so don’t worry.

Safe flight

She was a special lady.

She most certainly certainly was, the way she protected Agatha when she became ill, I didn't think chickens cared for each other in that way, I was wrong

He gave me a cheerful "bup" when I opened the door to put him to bed.

Someone picked a couple of his pins. Best not have been you, Bab!
