Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Chicken poppy]

Had a bit of a “blizzard” here and put the chickens in our basement (dont worry, our basement is very clean and they got some food and stuff

(rizos down here to she just keeps trying to eat my phone)

Tragedy

in the joy of new life and their first time out in the big world, tragedy struck the chicks today.

Dusty fell in the pool today and before I could get to her she was gone. It was so fast. I had just named them today.

I'm so sorry Dusty. Rest in Peace poor baby.

I haven't posted about this until now on this thread.
I/we are very relieved to be able to state that my daughter is recoving from a Covid infection. Unfortunatley one of her gandmothers and another relative look unlikely to make it.
My daughter contracted Covid at the funeral of her husbands father which was held in Poland. While I know she was not high risk and had both vacinations one can never be sure that an easy revory is inevitable and naturally I've been under quite a lot of stress. We all live together and I am high risk and her husband while not high risk is not likely to fare as well as my daughter.
I posted this on the Covid thread.


My daughter is recovering.
Timeline is around 28/11/2021 is the likely date of infection.
She got back to the UK from Poland without needing a PCR test because she is vaccinated on 30/11.
Felt ill and did a antigen/lateral flow test on that day which lit up like a Christmas tree.
PCR test next morning. Positive.
Daughter renamed Sick Note and banished to the front room where she watched endless Netflix while her husband and I schemed on various ways to keep her glued to the sofa. Copius cups of tea and eggs for a few days.
Keeping her glued to the sofa became a critical problem. Husband and I retired to the shed with the intention of making a solid door with a feeding pophole.
I just can't help designing stuff with chickens in mind.
Sofa showing signs of fidget wear patches. Husband and I trying to work out if we could attatch weights to her legs and a movement sensor rigged to an alarm in case she found the strength to drag herslf and the weights out of the room.
05/12 containment no longer seemed a realsitc option. Husband and I considering whether out combined construction skills could make the shed habitable.
Apparently my design looked remarkably like a chicken coop and lots of unpleasant insinuations were made about my one track mind.
Husband and I considering hitting the Vodka brought back from Poland.
08/12 daughter did antigen test in morning and one later in afternoon. Both negative.
Daughter now fussing around the house cleaning and moving all the carefully acumulated junk her husband and I knew the exact location of.
Husband and I back in the shed wondering if a wee touch of Covid wasn't a bad price to pay for a few days peace and quiet.

I laughed at the way you wrote the timeline but I’m very glad she is ok.
I’m sorry about the other 2 that aren’t faring so well though.

Finally, a break in the weather and the sun came out. Now the chickens took no time at all to get out of the coop and run all over the yard.

Sorry your family and extended family are going through this. I hope the rest of the family do not get it. I know people who have gotten it and recovered but most say they still don't feel right, one says his taste and smell are not what they were and it's been 20 months, another her gut is all screwed up. I've lost two uncles (old and infirm) and a cousin (fit 60's) to it, all in the Spring of 2020. Not something to mess with.

I don't know whether to give you a hug for what you went through worrying about Daughter....or what you are enduring now that she is feeling better! Here's 2...one for each...just because...you probably need it for both!

Hopefully you and her husband remain healthy, and other family members pull through successfully.

I'll pass the hugs onto my daughter. She deserves them.

Whilst worrying for all of you, sounds like you and SIL get on well. And I’m totally on your daughter’s side when it comes to moving carefully accumulated junk!

We do. He's a lovely man.
