Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

Why was Nolia at the vets?

@Shadrach found her star gazing like Bracket used to and her crop wasn't empty. The vet wasn't sure what was wrong. Nolia's been drinking lots and eating little. She rejoined the flock and appears to be improving.

I forget which of the threads he explained it on, maybe Ribh's, maybe mine. I don't think it was Kris's.

I’m lucky mine are more discerning; previous owners thought it was a great idea to bury broken glass in the garden beds and now, every so often a piece surfaces in the run. It’s a lot better since I started doing the deep litter method.

Glass turns up all the time on this property, too.

Right now it sends like mine are intent on digging Daisy, the greatest hen ever, up. They have destroyed the Daisies I planted on her grave and are down 6 inches. I'm going to have put something over top of her.

Oh no!

 

[MaryJanet]

They are not digging Patsy up. She does not have a rock on her, or flowers yet. Why attack and kill the Daisies?

They must be yummy. Or have yummy bugs.

 

[micstrachan]

Domestic cats are unlikely to try and kill a chicken. What they do do is worry the chickens.

Agree!

They are completely gone. I will try and get a photo. They dug the.all the way out. They better have been good bugs.

You should let her help. Mine love to help.

I hope I am not intruding. I've been reading you guys ever since this thread started and have quite enjoyed following along from the outside looking in. But I just couldn't resist posting about chickens wanting to help out when constructing their coop/run. Here is a picture of my "kids" helping out while I was working on their run last summer. Hopefully I can figure out how to attach a photo.

I'll try to attach the photo again.

Such good helping!! They really understand carpentry. I can tell from they way they're using your shoulders as a seat

Glad she’d on the mend!
