Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Hmmmm, but that would be Minni...and I believe it is an ISA/Red Star type that Diana is....are there any that don't clash with the red heads???(Besides, I think Diana would take umbrage at a Minni hat!)

Make it in warm colors/autumn colors. or in cream/white to match her tail accents.

Cute! She actually looks good. Can you give her a nice puffy jacket vest? Maybe snow pants? RC's chickens need arctic gear (so do mine)

A down filled vest so her wings can be used?

Thank you for this. The Chicken Palace is very draft free and daytime hangout is usually on one of the perches in there.
She is behaving normally and actually was the only one who chose to go outside at dawn this morning. I changed feed to feather fixer which has more protein.
She and Maggie tend to snuggle up close to each other. Maggie is also molting but she has already gone through a lot of it and seems to be taking it slower.
I like the heating pad on roost idea and will see if I can figure how to make that work.

The vertical heat panel in an extra sheltered corner or 2 would allow her to go warm up or not as she needs to (same with the others), even during the day. just trying to think of options.

Oh, gosh, that is how Sansa is looking right now? It appears she still has enough feathering to keep warm, but maybe not if she doesn’t have her full set to work with?

That photo is from yesterday. Something is very wrong. Poor girl.

I will think through how to do that.

I was thinking about her & Lilly...wondering if there was any improvement. Evidently not on the Sansa front.

How about with Lilly...are the meds helping her? I think you said there was a 1-2 week time for it to build up in her system...so I was hoping around now you would start to see an improvement with her.

I was saving this for Friday but her bum is looking better so I think it is.

This is a long time for Sansa. Your vet is on vacation?

Yes. In FL

Lilly is displaying a maddening variety of human female traits right now. It is no wonder she is confusing me.

Blast from the past:

Is this when she was entering 'hen-o-pause'?

Those occasional eggs she lays really throw her for a loop.

True. Maybe they are clueless ex-batts!

Watch it
