Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Because of they way in which the comb compartmentalizes to deal with frostbite, the risk of infection is almost nonexistent. If it did get infected it would not be anaerobic. I would with treat with a topical antibiotic like Neosporin. They should eventually turn black and drop off on their own. She should not be in any pain from it.

Thanks. That is very reassuring.

Mine prefer pork...........

Today’s offering of venison, shrimp tails and blueberries was quite a hit!
The hunter who provides the venison says he didn’t go out much because he was sick and the season is nearly over so I don’t think I will get re-stocked. I do still have some frozen so there will be another treat day.

I’m surprised you can’t snuggle with Sydney

Never. Sansa would sit on my leg and I could touch her but Sydney has always been out of reach. She does not like to be touched. She will visit and eat from my hand but no touching.

Thanks. That is very reassuring.

It really is amazing. It's like the comb was designed to handle frostbite specifically.

So, the feral store turkeys are gone, not to thanksgiving, though. The ‘Vid made people crazy here, and a big sign of that was our population rose over 30%, so many new people (and I swear we NEED an entrance exam) our population is now 420 something “residents”
Going to need to add more Tax to cover this one for sure!!!

Spoiler: New Village Idiots rant

.There’s a person on the other side of the island with a “lovely little mink” denning and raising young in her yard, that thinks the invasive native owl damaging “Eastern Barred Owl” is wonderful for controlling rodents, and brought her pet rabbits and is upset her neighbours have outdoor cats that “menace them”… yes Facebook IS Awful… anyone know Fluevog shoes? The son and his trophy wife now live here…yay! When everyone had frozen pipes and there was a three day power outage in the cold snap/declared provincial emergency our rec Center refused to allow access for a soup kitchen/showers/phone charging claiming Covid restrictions and they don’t want to allow the unvaccinated access. This happens every winter power outage, the virus was just the newest excuse to keep our emergency building clean and available for the bridge club and pickleballers. Someone got loud online about it rev Center called the police who visited him, agreed the building should be open, asked him to not upset the racist older folks of the committee with his language online. He shared his mean post and the trophy wife actually posted “well if an individual isn’t able to care for their own needs and has the police called on the we probably do t want them on this island anyway” ummm Mr Hammuda’s family has been here for three generations… and the police agreed the rec Center was wrong and he wanted the building open for his 90 year old grandfather but hey the arrived in 2021
Trophy wife knows more about island life than us low-brow dirty residents so…

Anyhow the young Tom used to see his reflection in the store door or a shiny bumper and get excited… sometimes they would get near people. This was scary. And annoyed people because they would sometimes slow traffic or parking in the stores lot. So the store had the turkeys “relocated” to a property at the far end of the island and securely contained, until they were killed by (go figure) a mink. Legal for the same reasons Arduinna is, they are feral, not wildlife so no more store turkeys and I can’t wait for all the new owners to return to the city or at least get off the community Facebook forums.

They are lucky hens for sure. It is a shame their won't be more for them.

This was up by where @CrazyChookChookLady lives.

I certainly hope it found enough food and is making it okay through this winter!

I remember that discussion… I may have mentioned my emu threats before… or it may have something to do with all our beloved aussies

Of this bunch, I can touch Hattie. She does not mind. Sydney and Aurora are no touch hens.

I was particularly referring to Hattie and her temporary avoidance of you due to your 'touching' of her bum. LOL
