Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[My Very First 6 Chickens]

Why do I feel my blood pressure rise whenever I’m reading your posts?

I have learned the hard way to not hang around for roost time. It literally does raise my blood pressure. I walk away literally saying 'Let them figure it out'. They are safe and its not like I'm not gonna come out after dark to see where everyone is roosted anyway.

If I concentrate I can write well, but these day I do a mix of ‘joined-up’, print, and short hand hahaha. More like chicken scratches

All that fun we have with our chickens, and we get breakfast too!

I miss those luscious eggs I had from my girls

Looks refreshing
I give my birds water but they like to put one claw on the bowl rim while drinking and sometimes tip it over
Then they act like it's my fault

I know that feeling. It's always my fault when it's rain but I'm truly hated when it's windy to

Mr P

Well I was able to catch him and do some more clean up on his irritated skin, I debrided a bunch of gunky feathers from his head and neck and from his ear, I am wondering if he had an ear infection? Anywhooo I removed all the old gunky feathers around his ear and then cleaned the outer ear, I applied some antibiotic eye ointment to the skin and ear.

He was not very happy with being handled, as usual. He will get this treatment twice daily till Sunday now so he best get used to it!

Mr P

I cleaned up more of his sores, and got a closer look at his ear - looks like gunk in it. I applied some antibiotic ointment and I also started him on amoxicillin - I figure with the extent of the skin involved, feathers and his ear, also he likely has some cellulitis going on with his skin and feathers. I also gave him some Tylenol and put him back to bed - he is not a happy fella being handled, and he is still finishing up moulting.

Boy these chooks are as much work as the horses!

Poor little guy.
Hope he improves.

Why don’t you just go buy them a huge set of LEGO building blocks!

And have them EAT them?!

I find getting a good fluffy butt picture challenging too.
But then along came Tassels and things go easier.
Happy FBFriday to everyone from Tassels. Look at that fluff!’
