Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

12 shaker machine trucks just drove by on the highway. Everyone hold your breath, the dust is coming and it’s terrible . It’s harvest season for the nuts

Darn well forgot about those things

Maybe time for you and Jaffar to be inside for harvest.

Some of mine know their names others not so much. But when I look at one and motion for it to come over it will. They know they are likely to get treats.

Often times I will just go and lift one up and hold, then release with a treat. This way they don’t freak out if I need to treat them for something, give a butt trim, or check nails.

Mr P is the only one who really doesn’t get handled too much. And if I need to do anything now, I do it in the evening when I do night time feeding with the horses. That way he is easier to catch and Marty doesn’t beat the crap outta me!

Don’t be messin with Marty’s rooster!

I will think of something,

Interesting. Electrolytes always key when there is any gut issue with diarrhea - especially for little ones.

Yes, I found it quite interesting, and the fact the toxin could cause neurological symptoms also.

I didn’t find anything regarding chickens but it would not surprise me if they get the same issues.

Nobody here likes the wind either. Wind is not a chicken's friend.

Well, would you like something that constantly 'ruffled your feathers'????

Have you described that to the vet? That stabbing sounds neurological to me - maybe even trouble seeing properly.

Okay, so I edited this post, that is horrible, they release toxins....like it isn't bad enough that they damage the gut and rob the body of nutrients.

Instead, I will post a picture of my sweet departed girl:

I will think of something,

I spent the morning doing hay, dusty in that loft

Think I should be good for hay till next Spring at least. No wasting hay this winter, it’s very dear in price and hard to get anyways.

The chooks were mad at me, I made them stay in the barn so I didn’t have to worry about them.

Or if you’re a silkie knock you over

Single file line everyone. Grandma just wants the line to move already.

Hey, you two! This is a single file line!

I was thinking about you at the airport as I purchased some almonds to eat on the flight.
Hope it isn’t too bad for you.
