Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

We have a problem....

Recently, I have heard rumors of watching TV, using BeakBook, and all kinds of nonsense straight from the nesting box. Today, I saw it. It's powered by Styrophone Mobile, and charges a monthly fee. Of course. Typical Philomena.

I hate scammers and call centers! Now we have chickens doing it!

She's trying to be a flamingo!

They're not scamming or having call centers. They're getting hooked on one of Philomena's many social media platforms.

There’s no difference really, between Sir Jaffar sitting under the porch, or sitting on my couch in the house. If rest is what he wants then it’s what he’s getting!

The fearless, yet featherless Coco, is staying inside with me tonight. Her perch is all set up. Water has vitamin supplements in it, and I think she’s ready to go to sleep already

No thirsty pics today but I did get a funny picture of Story who looks like he is about say something really important. Maybe it’s the answer to unsolvable riddle of what comes first the chicken of the egg?? Or why did the chicken cross the road??

He got scared off by one of the older girls though so I will never know what he was going to say

I meant no insult to your hen Philomena’s diabolical plan to rule the world. The set up just resembles a call center.

Thanks for the pictures and check-in! Is Minnie your remaining Buckeye? Indont recall exactly. I hope she and Bridge both make it through. Does Bridge seem fine otherwise, like her weight, and belly? I wonder if something is pressing on a nerve causing her leg issue. In any case, it’s so great to see your tribe again!

Sorry, I got interrupted when trying to answer this days ago and did not get back to it. Thank you!

Yes, Minnie is my remaining Buckeye. Besides her skinniness, she seems great.

Yes, Bridge seems fine otherwise. She is still Boss Bird and still my most robust (active, healthy) of the bunch. However, when she runs, it’s starting to look a bit like Little Mill, so maybe she’s getting arthritis or something? I tried CBD oil once, and couldn’t tell if it helped. I’ll try again this weekend when she’ll have lots of ranging time and I can observe. I can also dose her with aspirin to see if she improves. If she does, I may ask a veterinarian to prescribe meloxicam. I have not tried supplements yet, in case it’s neurological, but I’ve provided sunflower seeds for selenium and canned cat food for vitamin Bs (meat).

Bridge has not laid in years, so she may end up being one of the few who does not die from a reproductive issue. My tribe has so far died from EYP, cancer, or fatty liver. I won’t keep the sunflower seeds going very long so they don’t get fat.

You had my heart racing about Chia!
