Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

This is very exciting! Do you have a separate place to house them temporarily?

Yes, the old chickens coop is having an extension added tomorrow my neighbour who let me know that these adoptions are going ahead on one day only, her husband is going too fix up/extend this old coop and add wire underneath. I'll be out all day because I want them to have garden time.

Worried about any fleas, but they have had their vaccines and they have been wormed..

I am trying to think what I can put them in for carrying I had one good size box. But want them separated for the car journey, which I have arranged.

Due too the works in my home I can't find the cat carrier. So excited and everything is up in the air in my head. I do not have a clue how big they are the lady told me they are 18 months and larger than bantams.

I want to show you what a difference 3 weeks has done to my baldest girl. The day she showed up to yesterday.

I let my chooks free range in my Lexus (But that’s just me)

So Minnie’s LEG is fine, but her crop had a firm nugget about the size of a quarter this morning. I’m not sure if the lameness was related. Anyway, I tubed a little (15-20mL) warm pedialyte and broke up the clog. After several minutes I tubed about 30mL baby bird formula diluted further with pedialyte. Then I tubed another 40mL plus of the same before I left the house. I’m letting her be a chicken with her flock and will do my best to help with the crop impaction and nutrients. I think it’s going to be OK.

Can I just say AGAIN…. tube feeding is by far the most important skill I have learned while keeping chickens.

I had my coffee and a danish. None of my aviator friends are going to fly today either. We talked about the weather (obviously) and only Paul is still at the hangers, doing his job. I’m home now doing mine. But I am a little sore from crawling under the coach, fixing that sewer line. So I’m here egg cited about all the new chooks that you peeps have now. I think that new chicks deserve new pics! Just saying.

Frick and Frack say good morning.

I'm going to have to come up with a good name for this feisty girl. In the second pic she was preparing to start a fight with her sibling.

Mine like the lawn un-cut so they can hide out in the long grass and munch bugs!

They will be locked in at night and I will be letting them out in the day when supervised. I won't be Housing them with my girls for a couple of weeks. If I see problems they'll be separated. Whatever they'll be cared for and away from being squeezed into filthy cages.

But they will have a small outside run when I'm unable to keep an eye.

I wish I had electrically outside so I could monitor them and get an automatic door
