Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[bgmathteach]

Even my pain is easing up tonight. It's like my body was in sympathy with her. I won't but feel like grabbing hold of her right now. Bless her waiting for me before bed

Stress can exacerbate pain symptoms, so you being anxious about Agatha\ could have increased your pain levels, for sure.

A non-scientific study, but reputable organization, article mentions this connection between stress and pain. They can

So many eggs, so little time!

Ok, I need to know what is going on here. Corona is 8 months old, I looked at her this evening and thought something was wrong with her legs. I caught her to take a closer look and what the heck, she has a few feathers on her legs. I promise you this is new, I have had my hands on her since the day she hatched and she has never, ever had feathered legs. She does not have many and they are not very long but each leg has a small line of feathers. This was the one thing I was told by everyone, "if they are to have feathered legs, they will hatch with feathered legs. Feathering does not appear later on." Ok....explain this.

It is hard to see but she has 2 on this leg.

And a very angry Corona

She did not appreciate being held upside down so I could inspect her legs and take a few pictures.

Good girls you have. I did something today for the first time and I will probably keep doing it. My neighbors dad is a preacher and he comes every two weeks to mow her grass. I had a surplus of eggs after selling what I needed to my customers this week. Last time he was here he took 2 dozen to see if any of his congregation wanted any. Today I gave him 7 dozen eggs to hand out to his church members. I held back 2 dozen for myself or if I got a unexpected request for eggs. I think now each time he shows up I will give him all my surplus eggs. He offered to pay for them on the churches behalf but I refused. I told him it was out of the question, if I am going to donate something it was free. He is going to ask his members to save egg cartons though for me.

I’m finally receiving my egg cartons back. I marked them all with “please return cartons when finished “

I found warm salt water on cotton wool worked for me. I just kept several cotton wool balls in a bowl of really warm salted water and kept soaking them into the style it soon went away

Yes I have been using warm compresses, it was brewing a couple weeks before it showed on Sunday.

It drained a bit last night but came back, so irritating!!!! I just soaked it again, and today I went and got some antibiotic eye drops. If not better by Sunday I will go to Emerg and get it looked at.

The hens keep eyeing it when I pick them up, I am sure they want to peck it hahahaha

A lovely generous gesture

That is wonderful!

Agatha is eating her vent is back in place and no more messy poops on her fluffy

She's has been back in her coop and she was waiting for her night time cuddles tonight before bed just like she used to. I made her go into the coop this afternoon for a little nap but she's back on form. I'm soooooo happy. I know she will eventually relapse again but she's loving her life for now so happy days.

So glad to hear this, for both of you

Really glad she is enjoying life again.

Great idea! I will do that too!
