Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Yep, that is crazy!

I was SO livid absolutely livid... Almost popped a cog.... Was so furious....

It was the long weekend, my regular veterinary was not available....

Every time I think of this I get so furious....

Hey Chaco is it hot there?

“Sure is hot . I’m sweating my withers off!, but dad’s apples are tasty!”

Go ahead and vent it out on me, if you want. Just let me put on my bulletproof vest first. Okay I’m ready!

Oh no! They give her character

Also they use them to feel things in the dark. And to tickle you in the face at night when your sleeping

And I bet those whiskers can pick up TV signals!

Minnie dragged herself outside just now.
Mostly she just sat and watched - like a patient in an old fashioned sanitarium with rugs over their knees.
She did go for a short walk about and nibbled on some leaves and seeds.
Not enough to feed a sparrow in all honesty but it reassures me that she is still having some joy in life even though most of the day I think she is dead and have to check she is still breathing.

I’m so sorry she is unwell and you’ve not been able to find out what’s wrong.

I really don’t like to administer medication on my special hen (Rocks-Anne) but I have to get rid of those sticky fleas that she has again. She doesn’t like her face lubricated. I don’t like bothering her. But it’s done. Yes she went away mad at me!

Where do they catch sticky fleas? I never heard of them before. Sounds awful. Poor Ricks-Anne.

So sorry RC. It's such a sad situation. Poor Minnie.

I don’t know where they get them from, but it’s a problem when the weather gets hotter.

Good lord.

Given our hellish summers I will have to modify the metal coops by removing the metal from the south and east sides. Come winter we can wrap those sides with plastic.
