Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Really? We have had ours 3 years and never any broodiness signs.

Not Sydney. As soon as it was warm and right after the chicks left. Right now I think the molting is holding her off.

That's it, i'm going to start handing my camera over to Rosie. She wanted to use it to take pictures of Butter and came in complaining that Drummie photobombed her. If that's what she calls a photobomb i'm not complaining.

Gorgeous! He is truly handsome. You should post for picture of the week.

A few more of the photos she took a few minutes ago.

She is really good. She has exceptional subjects but these are very good photos.

No, nothing like that, but he did just sneeze in my face, as he sat on my chest, watching YouTube.

You two need to give us all a poo tutorial. I also look but don't really know what I am looking for. I just figure if I get used to knowing what 'normal' looks like (which to me seems rather variable) then I will know if I see something abnormal.

You can google chicken poop stuff & look @ lots & lots of gross pictures! Mostly I'm none the wiser but you are probably smarter than I am.

I might do a poop small poop chart just for us here if anyone thinks it might help.

I would find that useful, I think. Interesting if not. I have had the same experience as you @Shadrach many of the seemingly normal pops here cause panic and treatment elsewhere. Lilly has had some of them for 5 years now.

I think there are some basic rules but I believe it is observation of what is not normal for your flock that is important.

If you want a "Poop tutorial" just turn on the USA National news channels, and watch!

Extremely. And if you had not named dropped I would have never gone there. I actually do that with a lot of things people post. I've learned and enjoyed quite a bit that way.
