Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

How eggciting. $20 grand would suit you for a while. Maybe even enough money to take a trip to my ranch in California

A trip to see you would be fun.

It feels like it's been a long time since our last one.

Chippy prolapse stayed in overnight. Yay!
And Geronimo is learning to roost. She is a bit precocious that one!

Looks like you have your next 'rafter chicken' in the making!!!
you go, Geronimo!!!!



In my humble opinion, no flock is complete without a rafter chicken!!!

@RebeccaBoyd 's was Momma Hen, @Ponypoor has a couple, I have lots...we all need a rafter chicken - or two, or three...... we don't all need 2 dozen, though!

I fear you may be right! When I open the top of the tent, which I try to do only very rarely because it terrifies them, Geronimo jumps to the highest point available and cranes upwards looking at the possibility of making it to the bathroom light fixture.
Oh boy!

Gytha and Esme (and the others) got some banana peel as a treat after another foot soak

Fluffy butts!

They are 4 days old.
I will try at the weekend. I planned to move Tassels into new clean quarters yesterday but had a bad reaction to a sting on my neck. Massive swelling so I can’t move my head very well and also fever. So am giving myself another 24 hours to recover.
Chippy sprouted cute little wings overnight.

Dr's love to give us internal organ diagnoses ~ they told me a decade ago my Xray showed kidney & gall stones, never had any symptoms ~ they told my sis she had a liver cyst & prescribed meds that were worse than dying so she went for a 2nd opinion & Dr said the meds should never have been prescribed for seniors & there was nothing wrong w/ her liver! I pray the best outcome for you too

Our vet "Dr Z" as his office staff affectionately calls him. BFTP 2023 pic w/Suzu. I only wish human Dr's could all be as sweet as this vet Dr.

Happy Friday everyone. Some little butts to start the day with a smile.

Got woken this morning by desperate shrieks from my bathroom. Little Cookie may be small, but her voice is mighty.
I grabbed her and saw a bit of poop on her bum so I cleaned that up but she was still shrieking.
Then I noticed she couldn’t see. Her eyes were gummed shut. Not swollen just shut. So I took a clean cotton ball with warm water and wiped her face. Her eyes sprang open and she stopped shrieking.
She rushed straight for breakfast.

Meanwhile Geronimo is a terror. She isn’t a bully but she is determined to explore the wider world. I had to use my phone to block her exit but she is fast!

She is pretty though so can get away with anything!

Update on Chippy and her prolapse later. I can’t catch her right now to inspect.

It’s the puffy muffs and other feathers around their eyes. When she gets bigger you can trim the feathers so she can see, and so they don’t grow into her eyes.

I tend to pluck the lower eyelid feathers rather than trim. And any that tend to curl towards the eyes.

Did you see my msg to you on that? From another thread?

Here goes: Claritin (or other allergy med) and an anti-inflammatory. And a nice cool compress.

Glad you are ok though, those yellow jackets are evil!


I am sure Tassels will be fine, are you planning on a night time intro?
