Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Shadrach]

I think I've got this new operating system more or less sorted now; I've tried out four so far.
Sooooo, I can resize pictures and that means I can post them.
That's Mel outside. It looks to me as if the others live in the house and I've got a coop somewhere.

That short list is getting longer by the week.

Well, We're not like America yet where you can get everything & varieties thereof. I have to keep some sort of list of breeds that might work or I'd like to try & hope one or 2 are available when I need to replace. MJ has had terrible trouble trying to get Cream Legbars & I know she wants them & they are on her list.

Maggie
I hope you all don't mind but I am going to post some pictures and videos of Maggie over the next few days as a pre-death memorial.
It seems she is just too ornery to die even though the vet says she will soon and offered to euthanize her.
But we agreed she is still enjoying her chicken life and so there is no need to end it today. The vet is only about 20 mins away and can euthanize her at short notice if her quality of life goes down.
Meanwhile, she seems to be enjoying herself.
He gave me a few things to look out for if she is feeling unwell, and in the meantime I plan to spoil her rotten. Corn? Meal worms? Banana? Blueberries? She gets whatever she wants!
Here is to you Maggie - a life well lived however short.

Lovely girl. She is as lucky to have you as you are to have her.

Should have saved that fluffy butt for Friday.

Opportunity lost.

Big hugs RC. I went through this with Chickie so I feel your pain.

Please keep them coming. We want to celebrate with you.

You can consider this Maggie's thread for however long she is with us.

You post away RC. I'm so sorry the vet didn't have more hopeful news.

She is stunning in that photo. I do think I may have a white chicken "thing" though.

Maybe just a little?

They are so beautiful and Mr Bob is so handsome. I currently do not utilize Facebook but Mrs BY Bob does. I will have her look for it. I hope you said something nice.

She will find it on BYC

You need something specified to cope with 4 inch diameter to cope well with two inches I've found. A bit like flat pack chicken coops; somewhat over specified.

The little coop at my place was specified as suitable for 6 chickens. Six!!! I kept the two pulkets in there when they were tiny, and even then it was really rather small for them!
