Oh Alex! They grow up so quickly... and beautiful.

Well, my friends, as though I don’t already have too much to do, I have a new project on top of the rest... thistle and rose bush eradication. I think they may be the prime culprits when it comes to the bumblefoot issues. Dean’s is all cleared up, but he’s still getting pedicures for potential SLM/rough skin, as is Sammy. I keep threatening Cass because his legs are starting to look a little rough as well. The feathered feet are a PITA when it comes to determining “is that a problem or just the feathers”.

Roostie is still on the to do list, (waiting on his eye now, Shad if you do remember which does what, it’s his left that was affected). I caught another (earlier) case of bumblefoot in one of the Red Rock pullets, but with also quite extreme swelling, it seemed to balloon up over night! So thankful for finally having antibiotics on hand... The only thing I can think of is the rose bushes and thistles that could be causing this. I will look over their roosts again when I next deep clean the coop, but really, it’s just crazy here right now.

I am thanking my lucky stars that Chickie Hawk isn’t running into any issues, I don’t think I could handle that even with DH’s help! We checked his feet very thoroughly when we moved him to repair the tractor last month, and he still managed to draw blood and give me a few good bruises even with a towel, and through two layers of long sleeves. He just had a couple little bloody spots where his ladies had plucked out his foot feathers again, but otherwise all nice and normal.

Thanks Bob. I will be in the air at 10:00pst a good pilot has to sure his aircraft first. I’m getting my charts ready now. Thanks again good friend.

Update, I’m having coffee with a friend at the airport. My plane is waiting and ready. (Can’t fly without my coffee) I will be back ina few hours later anyways. Important that I catch up on this thread!

@featherhead007 maybe you can think of a variation on the idea of her growing up fat instead?

To everyone. I'm sorry for a couple of things one, I've been on a low and couldn't bring myself up enough to communicate. 2, I had to have a little read back to catch up a little so I'm late in saying hello and want to tell you all that I've missed everyone here you are all really lovely people.

I hope you will forgive my absence and my being rude by not saying hello first.

Ladies are better at names, than us guys are (just saying)

I'm not having that! Okay, a lot of the names I gave the chickens here are on the industrial or weird side but they suit the chickens and they're pretty unusual.

Alright...gonna come clean here. I just joined BYC today, after spending countless hours over several weeks reading Fluffy Butt Acres.
No, I cannot claim to have read all 3000+ pages (but definitely several hundreds ), and I'm so grateful to have this message board as a resource.
So, thank you Bob and everyone!

WELCOME TO BYC! Very informative, fun, and sometimes cheesey.

Hi, everyone. It’s spring break at the school district, so I took today off! It was great. Just now I took this chicken photo…

And realized everybody was there except for a Little Mill. Well, here she is…

That would worry me.
