Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

No fireman. He put himself up there, he can get himself down.

As my retired vet friend says, you don't often see the bones of dead cats at the base of trees.

He often keeps his tail down, I wonder if it's too heavy to hold perked up?

And...Versace has a sprained tail? It's flopping to the side. Is it from me tucking his tail inside the coop when I put him to bed last night?

It definitely was standing up yesterday.

You broke Versace?
I pray that he’s gonna be okay.

It does look like wry tail. Either genetic or vitamin deficiency. The vitamin deficiency can be corrected.

If my PC is running on Dos, and my laptop is MIA of memory, then should I keep this on the QT or RSVP for a repair visit? My DDS has a PHD in enamel repair but that doesn’t help with the issue of the PC or the NB notebook . My phone has iOS because it’s an iPhone.
Apparently apple products are still too expensive for the general public and that makes me PO’d

Seems you need assistance PDQ!

Corgi race during half time of the Ravens game today.

Hahaha that was great! Thanks for sharing

I love that name. I think it fits very nicely.

But it got me thinking of Crème Brûlée. How about Brûlée for a name?

You are all making me very hungry!

But I also like both names

Have you palpated it to see if he has a twinge in it? I had a hen like that once, no idea what happened, and after a couple weeks it straightened out.

They do have tail bones but they are small. You can check to see if the actual tail itself is straight. My hen I think fell while trying to flap up onto the roost, fell on her derrière. That’s the only thing I can think happened.

My Rockettes (as they have been named) are getting fed up with both the hormonal idiots that were introduced into my normally healthy quiet tribe. I bring in one by one, the Rockettes and check them out thoroughly for any rooster damage. So far only Coco and Dakota have sustained some damage. Loss of feathers and such. BoPeeps has been emotionally scarred by the two jerks. She’s never been a lap chicken until recently. Yeah I am treating her for those nasty stick tight fleas also but I’m her trusted scribe and I do her bidding.

He ran up it while I was out thereView attachment 3980316He's looking at the flock of starlings on the end of the branches. They took off he bounced around a bit then started down...then paused and looked at me (the other pic). I laughed at him and walked back to the house. He was trying to trip me up before I got the the stone steps.

Oh, I love that part where they run ahead to trip you up! We think cats are solitary & aloof then they do the doggie thing & follow you
