Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

Exactly. I am more and more inclined to plan it. I was just just checking on import permits. It might just be easier to move to Italy. This makes it sound pretty good.

I can just picture five burly builders sitting around an incubator, watching chicks hatch!

Great visual! That reminds me! I forgot to post this the other day.

Michelle, does it matter that it's a pellet or would ordinary wood shavings work too?

Man, alot of ppl find it silly when I mourn over my chickens, but one death really hurt me alot. It was this blind hen that I had for 10 years. I spent on avg probably 1-2 hours a day helping her stay healthy and making sure she was able to eat and drink, but just like all life, she eventually passed away despite all my efforts. It really bothered me for awhile but I eventually figured out the best medicine for that is to get more chickens! Lol

No evidence of an age requirement (which I think would be illegal under EU law) and in any case you could bring your daughter!

I was pondering the legality of age discrimination too.

I am back from my trip. A bit jet lagged and a bit challenged health wise.
My Princesses don’t seem to care that I am not feeling well.

That bird looks like Twirp. Doesn't move like her though.

The pellets are very compressed and when they get wet they basically absorb the water and disintegrate. Wood shavings are great, but these pellets are sort of magical in their ability to absorb moisture. I use them as cat litter and the pan they are in never gets wet it just fills with sawdust.

Awww thanks for asking. She looks a mess with her molting but she is zipping around and digging stuff up with great energy. I did manage to sit out with them a bit this afternoon but she didn't oblige with a poop of any kind so I am not sure if she is back to normal. I will try and do a crop massage in the morning if I am up to it. She looks fitter than me right now!
