Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

I believe she ate it all in the end but she did have to wait for it to be put on the ground. She had manners.

That's more than I can say about my girls

Clearly there’s no love lost, just sisters being sisters

I'm often reading words I do not understand. You all must think me more than a little vague. We have many different ways of describing what we mean between our countries

I often find myself on the point of asking what a word means on these threads when I realize that I am on a computer and can just Google it!

I had never heard the word "graupel" before either.

Happy 29 years to my husband and me! . Just sayin!

Congratulations to you both!

I've heard that letting your cats go outside shortens their life by 4 years on average. Mine never leave my house.

Our 3 cats are house cats with access to an outdoor run.

Lacy is allowed in the back yard under supervision and youngest takes her walking on lead or in the cat backpack.

We don't want squashed cats or dead native wildlife.

Your hope was fullfilled tonight Bob. After I had given her injection and a generous helping of prawns on coconut rice she and Cillin headed up to the coop. When I went to do my pre close up check she was not just on a roost bar, she was on the higher of the two. Bum still a bit down but balanced with her toes more or less spread right.

Such good news!
Well done Shad . Thanks for sharing.

I'm not discounting the breeder could be @ fault but if I'm honest I think the fault is most likely mine. I'm sorry the birds paid the price for my ignorance but I will know better another time.

Commiseration Ribh, I've been there too. We do the best we can but only experience really teaches us. Thank goodness for our chicken friends sharing their experience with us!
