Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Can I tell him that I'm going to send one special lady over to check and see if he really quit smoking?

That's a lovely shade of blue, but you are right, it does shout "Oi! Look at me!"

Maybe use it as an accent colour on some trim. Or paint some terracotta pots to go around the palace and plant some chook herbs in them. (My girls love Italian parsley and comfrey)

Pots, herbs. Genius! Thanks for the idea. Still wondering about the ladder though!

I was able to get some good picture of little Rose.

They are just the cutest little chicks. So precious!

Goodness! That looks violent. Were there hailstones too?

Just as well you made such a sturdy coop for them to shelter under Bob. I wonder how Mister Bunny and family fared?

They were warning about hail but somehow we missed that. No hail thankfully.

 

[BY Bob]

It was fly strike

I was afraid of that.

 

[BY Bob]

What breed is your chicken named patsy? I have three of the same breed but have no clue what they are called.

Patsy was rescued so I'm not entirely sure but I believe that she was likely a Copper Maran. She was beautiful.

I was afraid of that.

I have been up all night watching over him Bob

I was afraid of that.

He is still my rooster, and I love him, and I will do whatever it takes to save my beautiful Jaffar!
If any of you were to meet this bird, then you would truly understand.

Not too sure. I'm up at all hours (obviously) watching over him. those tiny bastard maggots hide in all those feathers

This is me just spitballing here but how about a salt water bath? The salt water should kill the maggots. They are fairly fragile. The water would get all around the featers for you. It should at least help.

I don't have to meet him and I understand completely.
