Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

I love it! It's the sort of thing I want to do eventually so I'm a bit biased.

Looking forward to hearing about your new adventure. I reeeeeally hope Phyllis stays broody. I can just see her walking around the yard followed by three little Phyllises. (kind of)

What a great thought!

One of the chicks appears to have gapeworm.

No, no, no, no no,......
I'm so sorry to hear that Blazinga. You really have been having a run of bad luck.

The little stray has a name now. I'm calling her Peaches because she is the sweetest little thing.

I'm feeding her every 2 hours or so. She inhales everything I put in front of her. I'm really hoping she only has 1 or 2 kittens. She's so tiny I hope everyone is ok.

Hello Peaches

Any idea how far along she is?

I am so glad he came home. How stressful.

They just have no concept of what they put us through.

I was a wreck after that and everything just wouldn't go right for me. It's a new day and starting over .

My babies are safe so all is well

I hope you can deal with this

It is Friday and I had to share these from a couple of days ago before the storm hit us.

Well done. You are so kind helping her out

I have a question for you @BY Bob and friends. I was looking at a medium coop build in the articles and it has pictures and the steps in story, should there be specs or not really for a home build coop? I just wonder if I’m blinded by the forest for the trees or the pics are the specs so to speak. I know I can’t build something yet, carpenter friend reliability, weather, money and husband, and if I build the living area a bit bigger then I will be enticed to add more chickens but I am just doing some research and found a coop/run I liked that with roaming would feel so perfect for our backyard size.

She's gasping, closing her eyes and occasionally coughing. We're still trying to determine what it might be.

Is @Shadrach Around today, he's pretty good at working these ailments out through the symptoms

I would suggest a steaming environment. But can't say for sure.

She's gagging again, but she ate and drank.

Do you have apple cider vinegar? This can reduce swelling in anything's throat if added to their water
