Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Hi my friends. Today is an interesting day for me. I started coughing in the night, and awoke to lack of breath and more coughing. I took Jaffar from the chickens room, back to the coop. Then I called an ambulance to get me to hospital emergency. I’m here now. X-ray, CT scan, IV steroidal, lungs hurt bad from coughing so much. And all the uncomfortable waiting for doctors and nurses. (Sorry, no pictures of fluffy butts from me today 🙁) I will take some pictures when I return home.
Total bummer of a day for me! :hit

FEAR

I know i keep harping on this but i got another example of how scared they are today.

i screwed up today. I was up before the sun and had the coop open. I did not latch the door, I pushed it shut. Sometime after the sun came up the door must have blown open. This is what I found when I went to the kitchen at lunchtime.

I was sure that they were out in the yard. They always break out if they can. When I went outside I was frightened out of my mind. Because when I went outside there was no noise, no sign of them at all. I was sure that the hawk had come back. When I got to the coop, this is what I found.

They never left the coop. Everyone was there even Phyllis.

Later in the evening I decided to take a break from work and let them out for surprised free range. These chickens who would not go out the open coop door, came out to scratch around with my protection.

So glad they're ok! But I see what you mean about their changing attitudes.
