Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Posing for a magazine cover?

That should work to cure a yeast infection of the crop (called sour crop).
You will know she has that if you can smell the yeast. You would find the crop like a water balloon and you may hear the fermentation bubbles. But the smell is the thing that makes it totally certain.

Even once the yeast is cured the crop will still likely be blocked so working the crop (massage) to break up the blockage will still be important.

Hope that helps.

A selfish rant coming up: here’s my thoughts. For what it’s worth, I do my best to help people out who are in trouble. Sometimes it’s a very thankless job. Sometimes it’s very rewarding. But losing your only pet, and then realize that you are all alone, is heartbreaking . Last night burying my neighbors dog, hurt me too. I’m just wondering, if In the future, I may need some help, to have someone to care for me. Or am I to die lonely and afraid in the dark?
Rant over, tax payments come later.

I hear you. You are an unbelievably kind man considerate of everyone's health and feeling's

I have the same worries but you have your lovely people at the church so I don't think that will be the same for you.

So if thrush causes sour crop. Will that cream she has work?

Yes, but not necessarily for Tina as she is a battery hen, her partner died a couple of months ago. I'm sad to say it will have been because they were both overly used. Cancer comes to my mind for these little ones

I comfort myself knowing they had a little life with me here and had some really happy times.

Alex, prayers for you and your neighbor who lost her pup. Mine are children to me so I definitely sympathize. ❤

Just the new leaves right? Not the berries.

That's correct RC. I loved them cooked then topped with vinegar. It made a good addition to the normal dinner of pinto beans, fried potatoes, and corn bread.

That will make it worse. Salt water was what I used by gargling and flushed my nostrils with it to

Sorry to hear that. Is she capable of having hens? Maybe a couple ???

Some people are just not chicken people, she’s not a big fan of raising chickens

Alex, you're not alone. Your friends are here. Prayers for you. I've buried a few chickens this summer and each one touched me. I use to be hard hearted but I get softer as time goes by. A death, whether it be an animal or human isn't something to take lightly.
