Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

I’ve never been to Dubai. But an engineer friend of mine has been. He went to assist the United arab emerits with their oil production equipment.

Oh, that was dubia, never mind!

Oy! Soft shells? Always something going on, eh? And you have extra oyster shell in a separate feeder too? We set out oyster shell separate in a couple places cuz our Silkies lay all year round. Cuz our old Dominique Dana doesn't lay any more we have a general flock feed w/ oyster shell on the side for laying hens.

To be fair, I do have a bunch of oldsters, and youngsters - so it’s likley those are the reason.

They do this to stress me.

He has stated his handle so many times unknowingly.

I think of Alex this comes to mind....

"Roos need love Too!"

It’s true that Roos need love too!!!
I love my two Roos

You need a new handle - how about Two Roos set to cruise - ?

The Chicken mediator extraordinaire

Umm, it is THURSDAY. I know it starts with the same letter, and ends with 'day', also....but you aren't supposed to get that mixed up on your days until you are retired....you are too young to be retired!!!

nice picture, though - so thank you

Have to say this: the new generation doesn’t have to work hard for a retirement anymore. Most of them never leave the house to begin with!!

Special day for the girls! Last time I tried to give them dubias, they were scared of them and ran away whenever one would move This time it only took them like 20 seconds to check them out and realize they're food!

Belated thirsty Thursday pic (don't worry, she didn't get any of my drink. She was very interested in the shiny can and the sound of the carbonation)

TY for the dubia feast video! It's so cute watching chickens play "keep away" w/ each other!

Hi folks. Just saying hello. Seven of my seven hens are molting. The run looks like a murder scene. Or a pillow fight.

Bridge seems to have a growth/cyst/lump or something either in her neck or upper crop. I can’t tell. She was shaking her head repeatedly a few weeks ago. I thought it had to do with the start of molt, but now I’m thinking maybe something was poking her on the inside and it turned into a cyst. Kind of like when a dog gets a foxtail in their nose. I’ll probably have to take her to a vet, but she’s in full-blown molt right now, so I’ll probably wait since she seems to be carrying them just fine. (I know. That was quite a carry-on sentence there! )

Hi Michelle, it’s been a while. I’m hoping Bridge will be okay

Good morning all. Have some issues this morning with 4 yes FOUR soft eggs, being laid, I can say that one was likely laid by Tippy. But not sure about the rest.

I have also noted that one of the oldest pullets from this year, has been laying a soft egg past couple weeks in the Summer House (over night), this is were I keep those youngsters for the night.

What is going on here?!

They are fed the Layer pellets and Layer textured feed.

It’s the feed. I get problems when I buy cheap or feed that isn’t milled correctly. Remember, those people that do the milling are minimum wage workers

And yes, she is back in jail.

What am I gonna do with you repeat offenders? How many chances do you think I can give you? I will speak with your attorney, and maybe we can arrange for bail again. For now, just hang tight!
