Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

There is a new Fluffy Butt in town - Tassels has suddenly fluffed up. A lot!
Happy Friday everybody!

Gosh she’s a beauty

How old is she now?

 

[RoyalChick]

Okay, I’ll do that tomorrow. The other EE also has a bit of those small abrasions on her feet.
It is odd. I told my parents and they were wondering how a chick would get bumble foot. Very odd indeed.
I didn’t really expect him to get them, so I wasn’t able to ask him to look over them. Thank you, that means a lot. I’m also glad that they got me. First thing I did when I met them was check their bums!

I wonder if they were kept in cages without any bedding - that could cause problems.

Quartz update.

Took Sherlock for a walk, then to "help" feed he chooks breakfast. Sitting and watching is coming. Working on NOT jumping when they fly, run, squawk, and otherwise move suddenly.

Quartz has been out with Mama. Limp is still present, but much less pronounced. Whole lot is firmly in the stare down spat phase. Q perfectly willing to be in the midst of that. Storm still plenty protective of the littles. Still no signs of comb/wattles on any but Granite.

Sherlock was busy digging in the dirt during the baby spats.

Haven't been able to confirm Pear as Queen yet, either.

Aiming for more fresh pics across the day

Glad the wee one seems to be on the mend.

And so glad you have Sherlock there - he is going to be such a wonderful pet

Have a nice week end to all. And a reminder that you can subscribe to getting a PM alert when the synopsis is posted by sending a PM to royal chick!

Thanks ever so much - I very much appreciated catching up

 

[RoyalChick]

Gosh she’s a beauty

How old is she now?

Nearly 20 weeks.
Wow - that seems old!!

 

[Ponypoor]

Nearly 20 weeks.
Wow - that seems old!!

Soon maybe laying eggs then. I suspect Tippy will start soon also.

I just noted she, Rico and Eli-too are back to roosting on the 6’ tall panels.

Rico has been behaving with mum - thankfully.

 

[Pastel the Rooster]

Someone needs to have a word with that store on their animal handling. That is horrible.

I don’t think that they really looked at them. They were fed and watered well, bedding clean. I’m not quite sure that all of the people who work there know much about chickens. Unfortunate, but I suppose I can understand.

 

[Pastel the Rooster]

I wonder if they were kept in cages without any bedding - that could cause problems.

Not at TSC. But maybe during shipping she cut herself?

 

[featherhead007]

The chooks are starting to go to bed earlier now. They’re on their perches by 7:00 pm . Usually they stay out until 7:45 to 8:00 pm.
(Gives me an extra half hour ha! )

Same here. I now have extra time because they all go to bed. Very convenient.
