Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Your dumplings reminded me of our juveniles ~ ours were house chicks till they were big enough to go out w/ the 2 older hens. That sliding door was one of our best investments

That first photo should go in the caption contest! I love how they are looking at the wild birds

Here’s Nacho and the babies for you: Have a look View attachment 4048111

Are you sure your Rockets haven't been sneaking over to add eggs to Nacho's nest? 2 look barred! They're darling, and Nacho is such a tiny, alert looking Mama

I showed kiddo how to test the egg turner, so she got to turn the eggs.
The eggs are due to hatch the day before my tonsil surgery. Dad says if I'm up for it, we can move them to the brooder after my surgery. Might be fun to watch them
If not, hubby will move them to the brooder after work. I'll make sure everything is set up by then!!!

I'm not sure if I'm going to need cold or warm on my neck during recovery. So I'm making a crocodile stitch cowl that I can tuck a cold pack inside if I need cold, or the fact it's soft wool will keep me warm.

The texture is phenomenal. So snuggly and soft. The gradient has a whitish layer and then brown, it's going to be glorious. Sunflower colors.

Tonsillectomy? You are gonna want cold packs. As an adult, it’s not as easy to heal from the surgery as a child would be

Holy Dinah! For a moment there o thought that was Mrs LC!

Oh she is lovely, and of course the babies are adorable

Well I am glad to heard this! Trust me kicking a bucket full of water is not advisable when it’s winter and that bucket is froze solid!

Oh - sorry you meant pushing up daisies…. That bucket.

passing away is on the very bottom of my bucket list. FYI

Dakota is staying in the house with me tonight. I like her company. She’ll talk to me as long as I answer her.

She's getting comfortable around you. Good. She's moved in.

Thanks for the info. Will stock up on cold packs and popsicles.
I should have had them out as a child/teen but when the doctor said "if she gets tonsillitis one more time we'll do it" my body took that as a challenge and stopped.
I tried to get a referral from every primary care physician when I became an adult, none would do it until my current doctor. Honestly, with how much of my throat is blocked I don't think I would be able to manage if they had said no.

Sorry I haven't been so active. I have new pictures of the flock that I took today. The way they just look into the camera makes me laugh. Like they are serious about getting a good photo. Me too, Parm and Moxie. Me too.
