    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Taking Suzu to the vet on Thurs... whenever she gets broody her eyes get goopy & so do her nares. We use ophthalmic cream to clean around her eyes but I'll let the vet deal w/the clogged dry nares as I don't want to poke around unfamiliar internal areas ~ she's been breathing too much w/ her...

    Good ideas... we also turn things over for insect access. The hens follow me around the yard in hopes I'll turn something over 😁

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    So cute... DH & I liked the crowing that said "all's well to come out, girls!" One roo must like his echo inside the coop ~ it seemed to get the inside coop girls motivated enough to finally leave😄 I noticed the cinder blocks in your yard ~ perches? food bowl or water bowl placements? or...

    Not one of our birds liked pumpkin ~ whole, cut up, cooked, nothing. I liked @SimpleJenn 's idea of rubbing superworms into the jack-o-lantern carving... but we won't waste the $$$ to get pumpkin for just our 5 hens. Our girls have been more nuts about our Pomegranate fruit/tree..

    Coop/Run Dilemma

    I have used stand alone perches & they are too flimsy for our birds to feel secure cuz they aren't stable.

    Coop/Run Dilemma

    Sweet baby💕... I hate when they deteriorate🙁 We have several recycled dog houses set around the yard for snoozing/hiding 14+ yrs now. She may or may not choose to use the doghouse... so also have a sheltered corner away from any drafts if she doesn't use the house. Also point the doghouse...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Both skulls can be vulnerable but Silkies have more to worry about. An advantage though is that the larger brain area in the Silkie skull has an enlarged optic area & enlarged sound orientation ~ which is probably a good thing as Silkies have the added ability to move fast out of the way of...

    Great photos❣️America has such scenic diversity... just like chickens/birds do. As pretty as falcons are, your Hawk is prettier! I always wonder/feel sorry for species that have the oddest long beaks... White Ibis

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Just never know :idunno Weed seeds blow in from the winds, fly in the air from neighborhood gardeners who use leaf blowers, our Santa Ana Winds blow everything into our front /backyards. We've had everything blow in... except maybe a cow (Wizard of Oz). Not knowing what's toxic or not we...

    Once a bird is a carrier already is it too late for vaccinating? I just can't keep up w/ all the vaccine info. There's a vaccine for Fowl Pox but it has to be given before the bird ever has it. My vet won't do it. It's a live vaccine & contagious if not done right & could possibly infect a...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I'd keep her in-house till her tail goes up. She may have eaten something in the yard that didn't agree w/ her? It's one of the reasons we rabbit fence off our tomato plants so the chickens don't over ingest the leaves or tomato fruit which, though not poisonous, has toxic effects to the...
