Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Sorry about your chooks, especially Jaffar. The rain hasn't gotten to me yet, but heavy rain is after me starting at 7PM tonight. Hope you and your chooks get a good night's rest and Jaffar feels better.

Thanks. The girls will be fine in the coop, but my poor roo is prone to getting sick and gets breathing issues.

His old age doesn’t help him much either.

Probably warm him up in the house?

It’s hard when you’re trying to figure things out, sometimes all you can do is try different things to see what works.

Also if your not keen with having a Roo I would rehome him. At least that will give you some measure of reassurance.

Truthfully, I'm thinking of it more and more. He's become a big, beautiful boy. But life would be easier with just the hens. He's definitely who Meanie is afraid of.

A quick reminder to everyone that I will be going upstate in a few days and will use my other account. I'll try to keep you updated on what will be happening during the trip. Just a quick disclaimer that due to privacy reasons, I will not show pictures of my family, only during the car trip to show you all where we are.
Sorry, Grandma. The Old Man said you're not allowed in the pickup truck.

He’s inside with me. I dried him off.

Update on the situation:
All the hens are in the coop now, but poor Jaffar was stuck out in the rain. I found him hiding under a chair, soaked with rain. He’s going to spend the night inside with me tonight. I don’t think he’s feeling well.

Good reason for a hair dryer. Get him warmed up. Only reason I have one is for drying chickens.

Grandma wants to go with you!

Problem is: It's going to be cold in PA.
Another problem: I can't bring her since the family doesn't have a pet and they don't allow animals in the house. Even if they let her stay outside, she's still going to be cold. I would love to bring her, I really do. This really is a problem.

Your gang looks very content there

I heard there was high winds and rain down south, and flooding sure hope that you aren’t getting any flooding.

Lots of rain here, amazing amount of rain. Then it turned to snow, but very little accumulation. Looked like there was a moat beyond the new French drain dug on the two wet sides of the run, but the drain worked well and the run litter is dry, the pavers and woodsy / decomposed wood chips soil I piled under the litter are just nicely damp. The trench did its job!
