Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Lilion]

She looks like she is a bit more relaxed. Re: you’re question about her egg, she might well lay there if it’s quiet and a bit dimmer.

She's a stupid chicken, that's for sure. She's managed to spill her food and water, so she's standing on soaked newspaper and shavings. I refilled the bowl, but she keeps crowding it, though there's plenty of room. I actually mixed her up oatmeal, peanut butter, sunflower seeds and craisins and she's doing her best to spill that too.

We went out and checked the others a bit ago. It was nearly 99 in the shed, but under 93 in the nest box. So Eenie's new ventilation (the grate over the egg door) seems to really work. Manny and Meanie are hot...but not HOT. Ran the hose over the building and that seemed to help too.

Okay, I think that I am going to try to convince my dad to get chicks. I will even find some money I have to buy them!
Willow is not doing well. She looks severely depressed and dehydrated. I gave her some frozen watermelon today. She is light as a feather (I think she is about a pound right now) and she has not been eating. I have been putting food and water in front of her.
I need her to get off of the nest, or I think that I may lose her. I do want her to be able to be a mom, and I don't want to stress her out by kicking her off the nest everyday.
Also, I didn't build that broody area for nothing.

Nope, didn't convince him. He started yelling at me because he hates chickens and never wanted any. He wanted me to turn the incubator off and let the chicks inside the eggs die. I didn't, but now if any hatch, I need to get rid of the chicks. Gosh, I'm so mad at him. He doesn't care that chickens are the only thing that i have to make me happy, since he made me stop riding.

Yah I already have the spiders!

I will work on it tomorrow morning. It’s too hot outside for that now.

Eenie isn't panting, but her comb is looking pale. Shall I evict her for the nest and try to force her to drink?

Not sure, but might help her.

 

[Lilion]

Didn't wait for answer. She's eating. Still doesn't seen to want a drink.

DISASTER: when I returned from town I saw this! The grapevine is not ripe yet either. I don’t know what to do with this. Such a shame to have happened! View attachment 3560186View attachment 3560192

Oh darn it! That sucks! Hopefully no chooks were under it!!!

Is there any way you can somehow hoist it up to let the grapes ripen them cut it back at the en of the season?
