Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[bgmathteach]

Sad, sad news tonight. Went out to put the chickens up, and Eenie popped up from her spot by the chicks, walked across the coop and settled, nestling firmly in beside Manny and the other hens.

Little Uno and Tres looked so forlorn, chirping at their mama...but then they fluffed their wings and squatted down together. They are 6 weeks, 4 days old now. It's getting down to 60 at night. They'll be okay, won't they?

Here's my chick mugshots...The unfortunately manly Tres.View attachment 3622088

Poor abandoned babies.

They will be fine. It is always hard to watch them when momma abandons them - the pitiful peeps and such. The good news is they they are at least somewhat accepted by the flock and will grow into their own just fine.

She may still tolerate them hanging around her during the day (maybe, maybe not) One of my DCs that tends to hang onto her chicks for a while started sleeping with her flock mates at night, but hung with the chicks during the day for another full week (she finally completely abandon them when they were 2 days shy of 10 weeks old!)

I am hoping the CBD oil helps and if it does I am getting some for myself.
I spent all day feeling stiff and aching and got hardly anything done I wanted to get done.

Let me know how it works out for you and how you will use it exactly…

No not Jaffar! He’s my buddy and he’s not going anywhere! He Cocorico!

I'm so sorry, featherhead! I think I was posting after I should have been in bed asleep and got a little confused. Please forgive me!

At 6 weeks they will be fine as they are fully feathered. Sydney turned hers out at 4 weeks.

I had to do a side-by-side...but I see the resemblance!

This really sells it!

I do think @WhoDatChick might have a temp obsession though.

They are so pretty!

They are very people friendly and come running up to greet anyone who walks outside in hopes of a handful of wild bird seed mix. They are quite chatty, especially our Sebright house hen she chirps and clucks non stop

Awwww seems sad but it’s a fact of chicken life. 6 weeks is a good age for them to be weaned

As a highly skeptical person I can attest to the fact that the lotion my mum has worked well for my hips and sacrum, it has some THC in it with the cbd oil. But not a lot, the relief to my sacrum and hips was very unexpected, and I had no side effects ie: no dizzy, nausea, headache or anything.

I really was skeptical about it but surprisingly it worked - it’s a lotion you apply to the skin ugh be an option.

I can’t use it though too paranoid about work

Perfect! Lovely! The perfect hen
