Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I only want to thank God for another day of survival for my chooks in the heat of the day 105f. I’m done for the day now. I’m hoping that the bloody feather situation will have answers soon. How stressful that must be.

Been watching the news with regards to the heat out there.

And my cousin's in Bakersfield are just roasting also

Um.......being the numbers person on here....I feel the need to point out that it is 23 pages to 11,000 from when you posted. Obviously, this thread moves at quite the clip, so it is fewer than 23 pages left now...but still more than 3

Sorry to be bearer of bad news.

Yes I have a glasses issue

Trouble with 7 & 9; and 8 & 0, my asses are for working on a computer not close up cell phone reading

I know I'm stressed right now but I don't know what I'm going to do. I really don't want to do that again.

We live and learn ,always

Sorry, I'm just getting to this. The best way I have ever found to deal with wasp stings is to immediately mix up a bit of baking soda and water to make a slightly runny paste and put it on the sting area. In a matter of minutes the pain is gone, no swelling, and you can get on with life as if nothing happened. I've done this numerous times on myself and on my kids when they got stung. It has never failed me.

I just rub it in dry it takes the itch out and gives me relief.

I've always thought out of the box, I guess I'm weird

I loved hearing their content chatter! Poor Gucci seemed to have trouble pecking up pieces...and getting all turned around They all seemed to enjoy the treats, though!

Tina and Princess chatter like crazy when sunflower seed or corn is thrown around

Hello FBA. I'm back from a five days trek in the mountains and trying to catch up on the thread- almost done.

I'm happy to report that in our absence things have improved a bit between my teenagers and my ex-batts. My youngest cousin has been keeping our chicken and maybe it's because she was more laid back and didn't intervene as much ? Anyway, even though they still aren't friends at all now the teens spend more time staying in the netted chicken zone with the adults, and although there is still some drama it's not all the time. (Well, last night Blanche did move over to where Gaston was roosting and threw him off the 7 feet high roost on the floor .)

A few pictures as proof : the two roosters Théo and Gaston,with Merle and Piou-piou in the background.

Theo and Léa :

I was hoping Piou-piou's tail would have grown while we were away, but it's still not done. I'm still a bit anxious she could suddenly turn into a he as she's so late in her development!

I'm sorry to learn you're sick @featherhead007 and I hope it won't get worse- take care of yourself.
