Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Has anyone seen/heard from @Lady Red lately? Hope all is well with her!

Not in about a year I think.

It wasn't that long ago but some months now it is worrying

Every part of the dandelion is edible and the flowers are a critical early food for bees which are critical to our food chain. Interestingly chickens will not eat bees and it's NOT from trying and getting stung.

The bees are ignoring the dandelions because I have a riot of verious fruit trees in flower - one ornamental cherry is buzzing - I mean as you approach the tree the whole thing seems to be making a noise!

Hi, Alex. I see you there and haven’t chatted with you in a while. Are you still up? I think you go to bed early, so I’m thinking maybe you won’t see this till tomorrow.

Correct thinking on your part!

If you’d been in Germany you would have been fine! Kreditkarte is pronounced ‘credit carta’.

Ya Vol!

I don’t know what the heck is going on, but I have two chickens not feeling well this morning. Lucky went to bed an hour early last night and this morning she was reluctant to come out. I held her a bit and she talked to me, but I think her comb has a bit of a blue tinge. At least it did until till she walked around. And then there is a Minnie, who really obviously doesn’t feel well. Her eyes are closed and she’s puffed up. OMG. What is going on???

I have been thinking about her lately also.

Oh no. Any idea they might have eaten something strange? I hope that they will be okay.

Thanks, Alex. Like he is acting more like she could be going into mold or something. Last year she Moulton strangely early, so that’s a possibility. Mini is acting more like she is in pain. She likes to jump off the roof said his chest height and there isn’t really a safe place to land, so maybe she heard her self jumping town today? I just don’t know.

Get a beehive....

On my list… bees and chickens are partially why we moved here. Our city/municipality was very anti livestock. It’s interesting how Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, New Westminster have sort of turned into one big city, but still keep Surrey and Coquitlam sort of separate… Coquitlam is
Slowly integrating but no one really wants to be included in Surrey
