Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

OMG - those cute fluffy legs - and in that gangly stage - be still my heart!!!

I assume Xmarshmallows will give them the bold curiosity to be exploring their new home in no time.

Such sweet little ones!

Ok so tonight I tried 3 times to organize the two groups of chicks - wee ones under the brooder, big ones in the crate - nope they all wanted to cram on top of the brooder plate. I finally gave up and all 6 bigs crammed on top of the brooder with the two wee ones crammed between them

And when I check the camera this is what I found!

L.M.A.O.!!!!!!

Chick update

Well she is still with us, she is drinking really well with the syringe I am thinking of getting a nipple waterer for her. That way she can drink when she wants. She is also eating crumble, and for the first time I can feel her crop is full. I am trying to get as much fluids into her as I can to prevent impaction Of her crop.

I ditched the hobbles and went with braces on her feet to straighten them and her toes, and I used a piece of cardboard like a snowboard to hold her feet straighter and keep her legs is a better position.

I also placed her feet flat on the floor, tucked the towel between her feet and legs and tucked her in so her body is held at a better position. The added advantage is that on her struggles she is pushing with her get now.

I still have very low hopes in her odds of becoming mobile but I will persevere for a few more days and see if she can start to push herself upright. My fear is that she has too much damage and will never have her legs straight enough to stand let alone walk.

I hope this works and those of you with facebook can see this. My aunt sent me this video today. The chicks got moved outside. The little black one is her Owly baby. The rest are from what I can tell Branch x The marshmallow chicks. Who would have thought they would have came out spotted though?

*edited to fix the link, uploaded it to youtube so you all could see them.*

Awwww! Fuzzy legs and spots

And the Owly baby is adorable! What lovely chicks

You should see where they are tonight!

They have finally made it up onto the wall of their pen, it’s about 3’ high.

Look up, look way up!

And another perspective looking down on them

They are so small it’s hard to see them between the big chicks!
