Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I hate to break it to you Shad, but I think that one predates Covid.

SHRA!

Yesterday was a bit grim. Today was better. Fat Bird had the last of her injections today. It's Metacam pills from now on.
She's still got crop problems. I didn't get to do enough massage today and I cant find my flexible tube for tube feeding.
However, she's still eating and what's more she stayed with the tribe all day apart from a fifteen minute bath and she managed to negotiate the bank you can see her on in one of the pictures. She went off to roost with everyone and got up on the high perch.
Not entirely sure what to do about the crop problem. She's been eating a lot of grit and a bit less grass. She's going back to see Gloria on Wednesday. I'll carry on with what I'm doing until then.

She and Moon have been pretty friendly over the past few days. It's interesting because Moon is almost as easy for me to pick up as Fat Bird is. I've watched Moon watching me treating Fat Bird.

Sounds like her back injury is clearing up nicely. Is it possible that the treatment for her back upset her crop?

 

[ChicoryBlue]

It might. It helped with Fudge. I'll see if I can pick up a pot tommorow.

Was it with Fudge and a crop issue that a local "witch" made a greenish concoction that helped?

Would some live yoghurt perhaps help her crop issue?

Another food I haven't given my chickens in a while. Great for their gut...crop too?

Aww..she's beautiful.

Thanks ACM! I had about 27 registrations but only about six people turned up... There seemed to be some issues with Zoom kicking people out and Eventbrite giving out the wrong time. I also had connection issues towards the end. I’ll be running it again regularly so hopefully I’ll get more people.

Sounds like it was as technically reliable as almost every webinar I've ever been in!

That's an interesting angle! Did you put your phone on the ground?

I think I'm safe in writing, of course you may.

Thank you!

Maybe goat yogurt if you can get some. My chickens loved it.
