Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

I know what you mean. I've donated some small knic knacs we picked up here & there but gifts are more precious and kept. There's a whole 5-shelf bookcase that's been turned over to gifts that we haven't even photographed yet and don't get me started on the outdoor chicken stuff

After previously posting over 50 pics of chicken stuff there's still more.

Egg skelter has another tier to add but we never added it. We have only 5 laying Silkies!

Yes! A hand-me-down from a relative's yard w/ body made like an American flag. I'll have DH take a pic tomorrow in the light It's about 2 or 3 ft tall.

Finished an egg collecting basket. I uh...got distracted by the toddler at one point and I guess added another increase row? The outside was too big! I left the pockets but they aren't quite as secure as I'd like. Oh well.

Very sturdy, the handle is doubled up with different stitches to make it less stretchy.

The number of eggs I planned it to hold
View attachment 3922390the outermost two pockets seem a little unsecure, might be best for tiny eggs
View attachment 3922391
Still very sturdy

It does hold them properly, I just didn't get that one egg wiggled in enough haha.

If you don't mind go ahead & P.M. me if you're willing to treat and keep your chicken indoors for as long as it takes to heal. I deal w/ it every year w/ one particular hen that scrapes her feet into scabs. It's easy to treat without surgery but time-consuming as our vet taught us. Don't panic & send me pics or video short of the bumblefoot pad/s.

Fuentemoon is a friend, but doesn’t like sharing pizza with strangers!!

I only had two slices left!
You myst be psychic, I really did have leftover homemade pizza for my most recent meal.

Some cool visitors down the street this evening, they did a good job of carcass removal.

Just read your posts. Looks like you are getting good advice.
It takes patience. Lots of soaking to soften the skin and get the kernel of pus out.
@bgmathteach taught me to use corn rings under the vet wrap to help take the pressure off. That really helped with mine. The one on the toe may be harder to do that with.
