Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

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!

I'm so sorry I missed this message. I've really let you down.

Tina is having her feathers pecked

I saw flexi doing this yesterday, but it was sort of like she's was grooming her.
Would anyone have any suggestions what I can use to stop it?

At night flexi cuddles her so I don't think she's being mean

I finally made it. Nearly three years late, but here. Over 7K pages so will likely never know the entire Fluffy Butt Acres story.

You will eventually

Ummmm, I only saw 1 red comb.....the other one, all I saw was a bunch of fluffy feathers, no comb, though

Wow, Sydney's is extremely pale! I must say, though that both Hattie & Lilly look gorgeous in their pink wattles & combs...still very lady-like!

Sansa, as always, looks lovely in this headshot. I know it is still quite early...but can you see any improvement in her feathers yet? I know more weight was a very good thing....but am still a bit worried about her with the cold. (Yes, @BY Bob, I know you are taking good care of her, I am just a bit of a worrier sometimes. )

Ok it will not be 100% official until around lunch time tomorrow but, if she is in fact a hen, I have a new silkie on the way. 2 months ago my farrier mentioned he had a silkie he wanted to rehome and it is close to the same age as mine, just a tad older. He thought it was a hen but also being his first time having silkies he was not 100 percent sure. I wanted it but kindly declined as I thought I had the perfect 2 to 1 ratio. We all know how that turned out. He was back to re shoe the horses literally 2 days before Lil Bit crowed and mentioned the silkie again. Told him again mom would shoot me if I brought home another chicken. Well, Lil Bit crowed and had to be rehomed and I reached out to him. He is going to drop her *pray it really is a her* off at lunch in between clients. I really really need this to be a hen, with only Poppy left Branch has started to harass her and she needs another hen his size and hopefully ready for roo attentions to divert Branch's attractions. I have been searching, even going to the dreaded craigslist and there are just no silkie hens available within 3 hours of me. I pray I have pictures to post tomorrow of the new girl. All I know about her is it's a silkie and is brown.

That would be wonderful if 'it' is a 'she'!!
