Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

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

Lilly has never been fond of roosters. I wonder. Maybe someplace warm. I could see Lilly on the beach.

Gosh dangit. I'm sorry.

That’s ok.

This is terrible! I have weeds and mice. Yeah, it’s a pain in the butt, but geez. Not worth harming my dogs, chickens, and the wild birds in the neighborhood (we have huge flocks of vultures).
Why are people like this?

Because...............

And what am I doing to do about my “BoPeeps”? She’s in the coop setting on two eggs. When I go to see what we got, she bites me (bites and holds on tight) I offered her some treats, she pecked them from my hand, and then bit me again! Ouch. Bad girl BoPeeps!

She does not look broody. I think she is trying to lay and you are bothering her. Leave her alone.

I am so very very sorry for

Amp was euthanised early this morning. This time the timing was better. She had two very bad days and it was over. I wish this was the way for many more.
She had a very comfortable night in the broody coop with two others to keep her company. I fed her scrambled egg and tiny pieces of fish laced with half a junior asprin yesterday and made sure she had clean water and clean beeding.
21 left now out of 25 a couple of months ago.
Two more still on the watch list. One I think I can save, the other maybe not.

I am so very very sorry for your loss. You did right by her.

At least she had a decent life with you and her friends

25% Permethrin is an incredibly strong concoction.
The spray I've just bought is 0.49% and the mites and lice fall off on contact.

I'm searching for the name of this 0.49 my eyes are so tired

Leave it open then. The ventilation is good for them as long as they are not directly in a draft.

I was wrong, again

Get her a bikini and a cute sun hat. If phyllis can have pearls why not
