Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

I used DMSO with the horses, had some effect with it, but not always.

Not tried CBD, but McMaster U has done an extensive study and found no conclusive effect from it.

In the past I would try all sorts of stuff on the horses, if it worked I would try it. Spent $1000s on stuff for the horses... Most was just expensive pee (waste of money)...

Overall for injuries I have found rest, meds, exercise works. For Chronic pain staying active and taking pain meds was best treatment. Getting good sleep is of the utmost importance.

Sounds simple but in reality it's hard - everyone wants a cure in the 21 century .

See look, the leg in that photo is the one with the most feathers, in January Corona did NOT have any feathers at all on her leg.

The Feather Fairy must have visited her after her POL, and said 'I have a gift for you if you want it'. She said 'BOK' (meaning 'what'), but it was interpreted as 'Yup'

That is a wonderful way to 'get rid of' surplus eggs. My church has a food pantry and I donate my extra eggs to them. Hubby just dropped off a few dozen tonight (pantry is open Saturday morning, so waiting until he goes to church is 'too late'.)

The woman who runs the pantry says the people that come are so excited to get the eggs. They get some donated by a local store when they are nearing their 'use by date', but it is never enough. She says some of the people actively ask if there are any! of our eggs It is a wonderful feeling knowing that you are helping someone out, AND that they appreciate it

Wish the food pantry would collect cartons back for me, though...I had to buy some recently .75 per carton with taxes. I have got to find a way for the girls to pay for themselves. (given organic feed, and 1/2 organic & low soy = expensive, )I am working to support the girls, despite selling some of their eggs! Can't blame them, though, they work had for me with all the laying, and rustling up their own 'grub' when they get to free range after work.

Watch out. Their next move is “UNION” and those chickens unions can be tough!

Yes, I am very careful with that word around them, especially after @RoyalChick 's unionized a while back. They can be tough negotiators! I'm hopeful that if they don't get wind of the concept, they won't think of it on their own in a serious fashion

They are however very weak and I am very concerned that the legbar will make it. She is not standing.

they have been nutridrench'ed and are under the heat plate as we speak.

I am so so so happy. The suspense/anxiety is killing me.

I think we are all angry about what happened. So unnecessary & preventable suffering.

Yes really really angry at the post office.

Yes, I did do a full treatment for coccidiosis a few weeks ago.

Then I would not be alarmed unless you see significantly more lining shed than that. But if your vet is able to consult within reasonable fees it never hurts to have expert opinions!

Its a wrap. I am heading off to bed and have posted the update for Bob in a PM. I have invited everyone whose posts I linked to into that PM and you can invite anyone else. Apologies in advance if I missed anyone and let me know if you want to be added.
The PM post is locked so it is 'read only' and as it is a summary of this thread all comments (including yelling at me for missing key events) are best posted here.
Good night all and welcome back @BY Bob!
