Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[SimpleJenn]

Phyllis is also irreplaceable. I will tell you now, you will not realize you are doing it until you are too late. I did not catch on to what I had done until Bubba was gone. I'm saying I will not compare these boys to Branch and I will try not to. They are just different enough I should be able to accomplish that. I will probably not always be 100% successful.

Truthfully thank goodness I have George. George is his own being and a stark difference from my past boys. He is not a Marans, he is not a silkie, he is George.

I had that worry when we bought our second bearded dragon. Ryuu, our first, was wonderful. However she was paralyzed and did not get to live a long healthy life. I was so worried I'd compare Shenron to her, but he was just SO very different in subtle ways.
I will also do my best to not compare my new birds to the old...

Gorgeous boys and what wonderful names!

She is a devilish little monarch isn’t she? Thinking she needs someone like Raven to take her down a peg! Raven is next largest here after Shirley, no one messes with her, not even Shirley. Clyde to dingaling tried to breed her on Saturday and she beat the crap out of him!

Too bad you don’t have a big old hen like Raven. She is generally pretty good with everyone but no one messes with her!

I have a big Ole hen, Hattie. Aurora kept fighting her until she won. Now she needs to remind Hattie about it all the time.

Mugs Monday

Flopsy - her poor comb is just so floppy now she is back laying eggs, I had hoped it would plump up more

Marty - she is trying to decide if I need another beating

Mr P - I cannot wait till his crest feathers are fully grown in, every time I go to put the Pick Stop on him someone picks him so he bleeds, it says do not apply to open wounds.

On the upside he is well able to see now - likely the best he ever could!

Curly - couldn’t decide which pic I liked best

Poor Hattie is elderly though.

But as you say ‘tis the way of the chicken’.

Raven has no qualms about dragging hens off the nest box when they are laying eggs. And she doesn’t even go on the nest box! Have a couple that do that.

Hooray! I'm so happy for you.

I assume Davy Jones is named after this singer.....

Oh great another song in my head

Splendid Day

Hattie has had a great day today. It has been in the low 40s (4C) and sunny, the snow is mostly gone, and she has been roaming the yard with everyone.

It has been a joy to watch.

She looks great

You’re doing a great job with her

I’m really in the mood for some cottage cheese and blackberry jam. I’m out of cottage cheese but I have fresh blackberry jam, oh so yum !
Maybe I’ll take Dakota with me to the store, she loves car rides.

Success! And Dakota was a good girl the whole time. I bought her the biggest corn I could find. She’s so sweet (when she’s not acting like a redhead!)

The Dumplings
The best I could do, they just don’t want to sit still! Or ‘hey look this way’

Holly

Jolly

They both like to snuggle on my lap, poopy feet and all.
