Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[cfonts]

What a sweetie. Look at the size of those feet! Hi Kiko

Will you take her out to meet your regular visiting chooks or would they attack her?

I've brought Kiko in the backyard with me a few times when I went out to feed the chickens. The chickens minded their own business and Kiko preferred to go back into the house I think she's loving the "house chicken" life... I do hope that when she gets older she'll join the backyard chickens

There is already a roof over the big run so this is a second roof. There should not ever be any snow on it. There could be rain on it but the run is sealed up in the winter.

I forgot about the tarp/ shower curtains in winter!

Emily isn’t feeling well tonight. She’s been slow moving all afternoon. I will stay with her in the house chickens room for the night. (To make sure she’s comfortable) I have TV and movies to watch, and consistent temperatures. If she needs anything, I’m right here with her.
I won’t let Jaffar down, Emily is his favorite hen!

Symptoms:
. Lethargic (slower than normal walking)
. Empty crop this evening.
. Hasn’t been laying eggs in two weeks.
. Eyes seem alert, but tonight she wanted to sleep as soon as she could.
I’m hoping for a good rest and a positive outcome for her in the morning.

Popcorn. Trying to get a Monday mugshot, I followed her around. First trying for straight-on

Then I followed her for a bit

Then I thought a bugs-eye view might work

Finally Popcorn gave me a look like, "Hey, I'm working here, seriously, back off!" So I did...

That bugs eye view is really awesome!

Could be the heat. A night in the house might be very good for her.
