    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Foot & Leg photoshoot! A sampling because the lighting of shots change... Shanai the Buckeye Roo Pullet. She's got the yellowest legs. Maybe because they're so big. Who, me? Stop looking at my roo tail, and stop calling me a Roo Pullet! So I can drink in peace I'l join you! With my Definite...

    Also it is influenced by what they’re eating and where they are in maturity and the laying season. Laying hens will lose the yolk coloring in their legs to their eggs so it gets paler as the season progresses. At least I think I’ve read that somewhere!

    Hard to say. This picture the legs don’t look weirdly orange but look like a rich yellow orange-ish. Buckeye chicks here have varying levels of yellow orange-ish, especially compared to the Buff Orpingtons. But definitely not orange. Who else in your gang has yellow legs? Not the other chick in...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    The satin feathers on the silkie body give the Satin Silkie the advantage of the insulation, wind-proofing and water-shedding of regular feathers, a real plus for the chicken. Kinda get the best of both worlds, the body shape cuteness and then good practicality. Have you trimmed around their...

    Looks like that’s a metal frame that you’ve got chicken wire or netting over? What did you get for the frame and is it sturdy? What do you do for winter? Do you cover it for snow and does it hold up?

    I accept this is how you want to handle it now. Please add in this fact wrinkle into your thinking about it though: you’ve spent some very precious money to care for Aliss. What about that? Do you think there would be a reason to ask compensation when a loose dog bites a person instead of an...

    You've lost a family member of sorts, and a patient you were caring for. These are always very hard, extra hard. :hugs I think nothing you did made her pass. You made her comfortable to have a good last day, and made her comfortable for her passing, which is a wonderful gift. She may have...

    She’s honoring them by dustbathing there. As long as she doesn’t go too deep!

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Terramycin is a good antibiotic ointment. Dog bites are crush bites more than puncture wounds, so she may have internal injuries beyond a sore leg. I wonder because of the prolapse, what caused that…. unless that pressure was a stress response? I’d suggest trying to keep her quiet and stay...

    So look what’s happening here - judging by the tail feathers and shapes in the Bigs coop this is Diane sleeping in the Nomad’s coop! Has she been relegated to the Littles table? Or does she want to dominate this way? Pretty sure this is Tedi and Annie, with Hazel in a nestbox.

    You explained the great and tough aspects of PT well! I can really relate. Sounds to me like you have a good mindset about sticking with it too. I think PT people can be such great coaches! Betty is your permission to be in chick heaven whenever you want, and not worry about placing them...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Yes @RoyalChick she might feel it’s safer. Also, the roost is a line formation, whereas the box is a flat space that allows different snuggle configurations. Just surmising that the line forces one or more to be at the “end” where they will be vulnerable to the other Bigs and further away from...
