Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

It was magnesium or manganese (both of which help with calcium absorption) and both of which are in feed pellets. I think nuts are actually the best source of both so I am about to join the nut-treats brigade.

Dried banana chips keep my tribe somewhat healthy. Just saying.

I know. Worrying has nothing to do with logic. It just is. Accept it as a sign of caring!

Maybe you worry too much?

Thanks again so much, now the You Tube has done gone and made some beta shorts thing and won’t let me upload a video for you all hopefully this old one can send you to my channel and you can all watch Arduinna have her spaghetti... she ate it so fast I barely caught it at all and it’s just 20 seconds... technology’s just being a PITA lately for me!

She's tried the wild life and has discovered there is no spaghetti out there!
Welcome home Arduinna.

Alright... Tuesday I lost a friend. Taz Sullivan was flying his self created aircraft out of Porterville airport CA. crashed and burned near the tree line. He was a great pilot, and a patriot soldier to the USA . He will be missed. But I am still going to fly today, at sunrise my flight plan is confirmed. And I will be back before the chickens even miss me.... RIP Taz

So sorry to hear this.

Heck... BYC won’t even know that I’m gone, until I get back home. So happy flying

Safe travels Alex.

My friends... I don’t know what to say. I almost can’t believe it. She went missing 4pm Saturday, I have been balling my eyes out and looking very dangerously high and low for her. Not logging in here, not knowing how to let you all know she was missing. Praying for her to come back. Scanning the sky for vultures and yelling myself hoarse calling for her. I have been walking out to the beach two or three times daily. Last night was my first night sleeping alone since January, with DH in town and the cats all huffy. I was considering emulating Alex and bringing in Sammy for snuggles.

After my post here (thinking it may be days or weeks, if she ever comes back, and hadn’t fallen off the cliff or gotten lost on the other side of the mountains) I made some spaghetti, cried some more and was talking to myself, swearing if she would just come home I would cook her spaghetti just for her, and I headed out again to look for her with just a few hours until dark. She is home! Stuffed, belching, limping slightly, and now snoring on her pillow. Thank you all for the love and thoughts. I am believing that you all brought her back to me! (And she better not be knocked up! Of course we will love her just as much if she is... but I don’t want to have to build too big a barn!)

I'm so happy for you! Hooray! That is the best news!

Don't forget to update your facebook page! (The nice one, we can ignore the nasties )

I'd love to hear about your reunion with Arduinna if you have the time and energy Kris.

I got a soft shell this morning. I'm doing everything I can to give them all they need crushed oyster shells good layers pellets and mash. I know this sounds a little peculiar but I'm thinking it's the weather, it's getting hot here

I do believe that the stress from high temperatures can bring things like this on. Let's hope it is just a random event. Sounds like you are doing everything you need so that they have what they need to lay.
