Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Pastel the Rooster]

Good grief! That's horrible! I can't believe the kid wouldn't tell anyone his password to call his parents! Tax for both of us.View attachment 3771177View attachment 3771178

Thank you for the tax. And yea, it’s kinda stupid. He probably didn’t know what was happening and didn’t want strangers to have his number.

Hi everyone, popping in for a quick update.

Grandma has pretty much stopped eating and drinking. The last meal she had was breakfast Monday morning. We have been struggling to get her meds down with applesauce. Mom called out the nurse this morning. They came, vitals are dropping and the decision was made from here out to stop all medicine except her pain meds and the valium to calm her nerves if we can get that down. She talked in her sleep all night long, with my uncle who passed back in November.

Thanks for stopping by to share. We are praying for you all.

Jaffar is barely hanging on to life. I have him wrapped up in a blanket, on my chest. I’m actually crying a little. He’s a brave, but ignorant little man. I put all my business on hold for today. My buddy needs me the most now.

I'm so very sorry.

 

[BY Bob]

Getting close to a showdown between me and my idiot neighbor! He’s causing me nothing but problems!

Be smart. Don't do anything when you are angry.

I really hope that Jaffar gets better. Do hurt that rooster for me, payback for hurting your best friend, but please make sure he doesn’t suffer.

I took Jaffar for his girls. But he couldn’t open his eyes to greet them. Maybe it is a temporary trauma thing like last time. I’m hoping and praying so.

This exactly.

It’s not a good day for my friend or me. We both are at a loss as to what to do next. I called the veterinary office. But they couldn’t help us right now.
Had I gone to Colorado, Jaffar would probably be dead by now, and not comforted the way he is now.
But who comforts me ?

We do. Jesus does. You have all the comfort you need.

If he’s now caged, I will not ever shoot an animal in a cage

I went out to take pictures of beaks and toenails so you guys could advise me on whether they needed filing and immediately noticed Sylvie.
She seems to have lost a toenail and the very end of her toe looks like it might be necrotic!

How would something like that happen?
I feel like a terrible chicken tender for not noticing.

It doesn’t seem to bother her and she is digging with both feet so I don’t believe it is infected or painful.

But WTH? I know Tassels tries to eat my fingers, but surely she wouldn’t actually swallow Sylvie’s toe?!

WDYT. Anything to worry about? Left foot, middle toe.

To me, it looks more like the toe nail broke and there is still the nail bed in place. If that's actually the case, the nail will grow out again. Otherwise, it looks like dirt. She has a touch of dark on all the visible toes.

I'm not certain it's necrotic. It just looks like she was digging in very black soil to me. Nails can get caught and pop off. I don't think that even slows down a chicken.
