Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I really hope she was just having a off day yesterday and there is nothing truly wrong with her. Being a older lady and it being winter, could she be beginning to develop a touch of arthritis?

She has arthritis in the hips. This is more than that. She is still at it this morning.

This isn't the article I previously mentioned, but @BY Bob & @micstrachan you will probably want to read this:
(some went over my head due to my lack of in depth biology knowledge, but I did certainly follow it generally. )

I hope Lilly will be okay. Emily acted like that for a few days, but sadly…
I’m not there to watch how she’s feeling, but I fear for her. Bob, I’m sorry that she not feeling well.

Never said they use tools to do so. Clever beaks...

The chickens don’t pop tires, or put sugar in gas tanks (neighbor had it done to him) The, tires I had to replace. Chickens don’t spread discourse on purpose.

Well Blueberry, Clover and Raven are going to get the chance to be momma's even if they will have no clue. My cousin who has Ravens full sister just messaged me saying she's went broody. She'll be here Friday morning to pick up the eggs that they have laid this week to set her hen with. I cannot wait to see what their chicks end up looking like.

Just started yesterday. She could be puffy just because it's cold out.

I hope so Bob

This is Soda getting a bum bath & her ulceration treated.
Her comb & wattles are a lot paler now but I haven't a recent photo. She's been skittish since the bathing.

Adverse living situations will do that to you!

My screen froze up and I could not edit to say I need to read in depth later. But ovarian cancer is on my brain since the last two necropsies revealed it in advanced stages. Ruby was severely emaciated, but Ester was obese.
