Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Yeh. I knew you'd understand.

I understand too. I just don’t think creating a private club is the best solution.

Does she still have all her chicks?

Yes, she does! I just did a headcount this afternoon - All 10 chicks are all well & accounted for!

Wow, she's doing very well. Do you know who the father is?

I haven't heard that one in years and years!

Hey, if it works, I will try it! (Drop Bears are scary)

Tinfoil is no use against drop bears Alex. You need to dab Vegemite behind your ears to repel them.

delish vegemite!

I actually don't know who the father is. There are a few roosters who sometimes visit my backyard, but none that I have ever really spotted Willow with.

Lucky came up to hang out on Mrs BY Bob's chair and we decided to have a little photo session. She is a real sweetie.

BFTP:

I just LOVE the first one of her peaking through the petunias! How adorable.

I don't know, I think it's awesome how everyone supports everyone!

I skim through for anything of interest, esp Bob's entries

There are *a lot* of posts in which people are not supporting someone else.

I think they're called spam.

Hi everyone. Ester isn’t feeling well. She’s standing around, has a poopy back end, does not seem to be eating much, and I think she is swollen. Not a good combination. Her posture is good while she is standing, but she is pretty inactive and (barely) scratches heartlessly.

It’s too cold to wash her bum, so I trimmed some feathers, gloved up, and pulled poop off. I also generously dusted her back end with cornstarch in hopes it would help me crumble the poop off (I think it helped).

I checked her crop when she went to roost and it was not empty. I hope that means she’s been eating when I’m not looking and not that it’s slow. I’ll check in the morning.

Her vent was VERY messy and tiny. I may bring her in for a couple hours tomorrow morning so I can properly wash her vent and surrounding area. A few months back she was messy in the back and seemed not to feel well, but was much better after I washed her off. I hope that’s what happened here… messy butt feathers backed her up, but I fear she has a reproductive problem. She never really came back into lay after her ordeal last winter at this exact same time.

How is she doing today, @micstrachan ? I'm hoping a bit better!
