Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[CrazyChookChookLady]

I have a wonderful Butter update to share. Yesterday many times she stood up on her own and stayed standing for 10 to 15 minutes each time. She even tried walking, got up to 5 steps once before she had to sit down. But I think the most encouraging part was what she did yesterday evening. For the first time since her injury she laid a egg. I was soo afraid where she was in the middle of her laying cycle that one may have gotten broke inside her and a infection would set up. Butter is also getting daily massages and physical therapy to her leg and hip joint. She loves it but struggles if i try to massage her back so I do not push that issue. Pictures taken just a few minutes ago. Look at her expressions, her attitude is also coming back in spades. She may not be one of my beloved Marans, but I love this hen.

Lovely picture Bob.

A little close up of my keeper. I need to think of a name for her. @RebeccaBoyd what do you think of the baby? I was told Marans...

Looks like Marans from what I've seen here.

Only update I can give you my friends, is that BLU didn’t return last night and I searched late into the night. I’m still searching for him today. I’m very concerned and emotionally drained.

I do hope he shows up Alex.

That is a lovely mugshot, Bob! She is a very pretty hen.

Shad, I hope so too, but still no luck. He can’t fly, and I found no breeches in the fence line anywhere on my property. It’s a great mystery. Not even a feather. I’m full of unwarranted emotions at this point. I LOVE THAT CRAZY BEAUTIFUL ROOSTER!
