Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

At 6am chores I grabbed her and took her out of the hen house on her own, she was a bit wheezy and her ‘voice’ sounds hoarse, she sneezed but no nasal discharge. She didn’t feel any warmer then Dorothy, but tonight I will take her temp ( how hard can it be??).

Anywho I listened to her lungs they sounded ok no crackles or rails, but I couldn’t hear anything through her trachea as I was using my ear on her to listen - I will dig out my stethoscope tonight. Her crop emptied over night and she proceeded to start eating and drinking and digging through the hay and sharing Reenie’s breakfast.

And of course now I am seeing others sneezing, and asking myself is it more then normal ????

Between poor Sally coughing up a lung (she has bad COPD) and my coughing and sneezing from allergies and now Rose…. I am beginning to think there is something going on!

I almost gave Rose some prednisone but I didn’t know the dose for a chicken!

Everyone is sneezing? How often?

No. Lady Featherington's voice has started to change as well.

Holy Dinah

I thought she was going to pitch head first onto the ground!!! Is this normal - does anyone else see this with their sleeping chickens??

Up until now I only ever saw it with Polish.

We're saying good bye, she's been lying unconscious and breathing very fast for three hours now. It seems this little ex-batt has used up her nine lives.

She is my first chicken to leave and as the rule has it, our favorite. I hope this won't take too long.

I'm so very sorry. I don't know why but it seems the favorites always leave us too soon. Comfort her and know she leaves having had a wonderful life with you. You did a special thing bringing her into your life.

She passed. I'm thankful she was unconscious most of the time and I hope she finds the Cherry tree that bears cherries forever.

I had a massive spider in the house, and brought it out to Isbe. She gave it to her chicks and one ate it (after a bit of picking it up and dropping it)
Now their my official spider catchers!

I will need to do archeology on my phone to find the pictures but I think Bernadette slept like that for a while.
