Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

She is not really interested in taking anything - she did take the sugar water on her own. I am going out again shortly to ensure she is still alive and interested in eating.

How about some sardines and egg with some yogurt mixed in?

I love old tech. Usually tell people that if they don't want their old stuff I'll take it off their hands .
I use LibreOffice, as I do not care for Microsoft or their products.
My laptop is almost 7 but still works great. And my iPad Air 1 is nearing its tenth birthday.

Everything Microsoft touches falls apart...

She is very unsteady, holding her wings away from her body (unless She is startled). She is very weak and is getting buffeted by the other crazy chicks. But I am glad she was out on her own pecking at feed.

Be careful she doesn't get trampled - sounds like that could happen easily.

I'm hoping and thinking good thoughts for her and you.

Wen you bring home the ones this weekend, you might consider putting her in with the littler ones. They may not be much smaller, but it's possible it could make a difference (I know, lot of maybes in that). There are also fewer of them, so that could be enough right there.

My Tina wasn't doing good with the soft shell happening. So I mixed up a few things in hope of helping her out.
One day she had sardines along with other good things tye following day I used eggs green rocket banana and yogurt.

The banana is a prebiotic and the yogurt a probiotic, both worked well for my girls cat and dog, not too mention myself.

We cannot buy goat yogurt here anymore, our supper market is continuously letting me down with the supplies I need. So luckily a wonderful assistant found me the last yogurt which I used too make more yogurt... I used the yogurt and goat milk to create another yogurt.

I've never done this before so was

With looking up online and calling a friend this is how I did it...
I used 3 table spoons of yogurt and 300 mil of goat milk.
Firstly, I boiled the milk before adding it to a demi jar and letting it cool too body temperature before adding the yogurt.

Then it was wrapped in a clean tea towel and dressing gown then placed in a warm oven on top of a well wrapped hot water bottle. I left this over night for 14 hours. The light was on all night in my oven.
Hey presto, and it is delicious.

Of course my chickies had the first taste with eggs blueberries and pellets.

Yummy
As a kid we had the hot water tank in a cupboard - we called it an airing cupboard and all bed linen and PJs were stored in there and got wonderfully warm. But you had to be careful pulling stuff out because there was always a bowl of yoghurt being made in the cupboard shielded by a tea towel.
My mother just used a big bowl and when we were running low on supply she did exactly what you did and popped the bowl in the airing cupboard.

I really didn't think it would work but I was pleasantly surprised when it did.

It's not as thick as the store bought but I'm guessing they put thickeners in theirs. It's thick enough for me and I love it. It's now in the fridge. There's no airing cupboard here and no room on my fridge due to a cupboard covering it.

From memory and from making kefir which is similar but not quite the same, it gets thicker if you leave it a bit longer.

I will next time, thanks rc . I hope I can use my yogurt to make it again. This is going to be a regular thing.

I have kefir seeds in my fridge, they've been there all sealed up for years. As soon as I get more goat milk that's next

It's just having the confidence in myself to do these things
