Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[SimpleJenn]

Maybe once we're all set up here with the new coop/run, and whenever you're ready for more chickies, we could set up a trip to the breeder...

Or something!

That would be fun!

Spaniels are so-o-o adorable... kids & puppies together Somehow I thought it would be chicks though

We found puppy training classes very useful even if just for the simple forms of walk, sit, stay ~ it's amazing how easy to train puppies at the start. We never realized all the mistakes we made when our DD got her 1st puppy. Nowadays 40 yrs later DD makes sure she goes to dog training w/ each new dog she adopts.

She sees the trainer on Wednesday.

Today is a very sad day. I went out to the coop and found my beautiful Sunny dead on the coop floor under the roost. I bawled like a baby. She wasn't even 2 years old.

Yesterday she was fine, as far as I could tell. I have no idea what happened. I could not bring myself to do a necropsy. Just couldn't. I have her bagged up in the freezer, and I'll bury her in the garden when the ground thaws. I will not throw her away or let the raccoons have her.

She was my lap chicken. (Pip is too, but less so.) Sunny would let me pet her. I petted her when I took out chickie snack yesterday afternoon.

I cried again when I took out chickie snack today, because she wasn't there.

Fly high and free, my beautiful Sunny Girl!

I'm so very sorry. Our deepest condolences. It's so very hard to lose them. Even more so when they are special ones.

Is it too noisy? It seems to have a bark issue from here.

Well played!

So pretty, I had to look twice!

I told her you said that.

Okay, I'm planning on getting the boy for now. Tomorrow early afternoon. Plan is to hold him for breeder buddy until we can arrange meeting up in the middle of the state (hmm, does this sound familiar to anyone?)

Mr Pigeon is definitely fine though it is a lot colder today.
The pigeons are big and they hunt in packs! One is so fat it waddles. I thought it might be lame but it chased off a crow and was able to put on an impressive burst of speed.

To: Ponypoor, sorry to hear of the injury Silly Roo’s!

I was laughing at the poor guy this morning. Bald, covered in purple woumd spray, tail 3/4 missing, bad limp…. He looks like he want a round with a lion, and won
