Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Just hand over the wheel to Lilly and you deal with the brakes, she can do it judging by her interest on the scenery. I wonder where she would take you

She’d drive straight to California (where Jaffar is waiting)

You watch out for Raven (she is a little troublemaker)

Taking after her daddy no doubt

Aww thanks for asking. Still there but improving every day. Getting out of bed is now so mild it is weirdly pleasant - like starting the day mildly tipsy! I still have trouble with rapid pivots but I am definitely on the mend.
Just curious why you say i tis the wrong time of year for molting. My understanding is that molting is timed to ensure that they have new feathers to keep them warm in the depth of winter when they really need it. Isn't it heading to winter with you now?

That's good to know you're getting better

Right, thank you. That explains it.

As I've said there's a peculiar change of weather here, swinging from really warm too very cold, sunshine then grey skies wet then dry.

I do see tail feathers coming in on Xzit (and she helped me eat a can of tuna just now) Hen-Rietta had some too.

I'd only give them canned in rare occasions, due to the metal contaminating.

I believe it's illegal now here in the UK, but one of the consequences is that the hens are disposed of before thier first major moult at some batteries.

This gets to me big time.

The only poultry dusts I have seen here are permethrin.
I see BYC posts recommending dusting with DE but you buy that as food grade DE. The products called poultry dusts are something like 25% permethrin. I. Red to see what other ingredients are.

The DE I have is pure. I found out the other ash which is slightly brown is mixed with mud . We've been ripped off for years

They don't view the chicken as a living being. To them it is just a "thing" not something deserving of compassion. Horrible people.

I really wish there was such a thing as karma

Watch it, amber heard that

I need to get out to the coop and start my day, but Xzit is so Comfortable sleeping on me with her eyes closed at the moment.
