Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

I’m not sure. We have a lot of talent (and I’m a good eater)

Same here

No consolation, but Chaco did backup and stepped on my foot. I was brushing her down. Ouch!

Soak your foot in salt then rub arnica oil in that foot

Another unproductive day with the time thieves stealing the show...

Rose grabbed a piece of my toast and took to it... The others in hot pursuit hahaha better than TV!

Even the horses are entertained Truly really enjoys watching their antics when she is ok n the barn. Lulu and Reenie share their hay and grain freely with them - Sally is ambivalent towards them...

And there goes Buttercup over the gate again - brat!

And the dog is there ready to have his share

Maybe.

We have a couple pair of dog siblings here. Jack and Amidala were born in our dining room. When we took Amidala to be spayed she stayed one night at the clinic. Jack was so depressed. He layed around and would not eat or drink. The moment Amidala came home he perked right on up ❤

He's still in pain the cat cuddled him for hours, then after his walk I washed him and rubbed arnica oil in him , I can't believe the difference from yesterday to today, he's so much more comfortable.
Please try it . It actually works

Okay, so been trying to do some research, this is what I have found. I think the last couple are for humans?

gastrointestinal obstructions, birds

phytobezoars & treatments (people)

bezoars (people)

One of the effective treatments mentioned is Coke-cola. While I think caffeine is bad for chickens, could you maybe try giving her caffeine free coke? I have no idea where to look for this as treatment for chickens. I will say, though, that during my time as a CNA, patients with G & J tubes that were blocked...nurses frequently hung coke to clear the blockage......
Also mentioned in one the first articles was peanut butter. I assume it's action would be similar to coconut oil, but not sure if the consistency nor if the 'melting temp' would make a significant difference or not????

I have absolutely no idea if this is helpful, but assume that with your more advanced knowledge in this area, you can make a better judgement as to whether any of this is actionable.

I so hope Minnie pulls through - she is so loved & such a sweetie!

You are a sweetheart for looking into this!
I assume what the coke brings is bubbles. That could be achieved with seltzer or bicarb. I will look into it because both would be alkaline and I don’t know if that is an issue.

This is Truly picking at whatever grass she can find. I have to keep my two ponies Sally and Lulu on a very strict diet to control their weight. As such they are limited to the two smaller paddocks. All those yellow flowers are the Baine of my existence, it buttercup and it's toxic to the horses they do not eat it I can't get proper herbicide to kill it off without a license and the agricultural companies won't come in to spray as I don't have enough land to make it worth their while.

I mow it down but it's a losing battle to do that as it grows so fast

The fat from the brisket I cut into bite size chunks and smoke them all day. Just before bed everyone got a treat, except for Lobo because he crapped his cage twice yesterday despite being outside on 5 occasions. I nearly lost fingers a few times as this is their favorite treat ❤
