Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

But it is always a flat head when I need a Philips head or the other way around.

I see very few flathead screws these days, they’re almost always Phillips head. Or the square-holed ones you can get these days (not sure what they’re called).

I was trying to get a photo of my two BFFs with both their heads up at the same time.
No such luck!
First Bistro had her head up:

Then Annie!

When I complained to Annie about it, she told me in no uncertain terms to stop bothering her!

You better listen to Annie!

Or, a tiny flat head when you need a big one, or a big one when you need a little one!

Hmmm, at this rate, I'm going to need to take more pics to keep up to date on my taxes. Recycled ones will have to do for now:

A very good boy that I am going to have to put down. He is only a year old, and near as I can tell, he has Mareck's. All my chicks have been vaccinated and/or hatched on site....no birds brought in but vaccinated chicks, so I am not sure how he got it, but it seems to be the classic symptoms and I can find no other reason. He can't use his legs. I have been working with him trying to supplement vit. B and exercising legs 2 x per day...and it has gotten worse, not better. Poor guy, he is sweet and was a good boy to the girls..... this is so hard, but, watching him quietly yesterday...I realized that I was so attached that I ignoring the obvious. He initially (quite suddenly - after a fight with another roo) was very weak in the legs and I brought him inside to protect him and work with him (initially thinking it was pain from injuries.) Despite my efforts, legs are worse...now he has no control of lower legs at all, no reflex nor grip motion with feet, nothing. He does have a will to live....but it is no life not being able to move. He can't even tip himself from one side to the other with his legs when laying...he has to use his wings. These pics were from March.

I’m so sorry Barb.

Robertson is the square one.

I prefer those as they are the easier to drive in, the Phillips are horrid to drive in, IMHO....

Oooh I loved craft times at work… please let me build the display, or make the little banners, or whatever… anything that isn’t a customer, please!

I bet! My four horses like to 'help' when I do fencing, the move the boards around, drag the hammer off... Hahaha

Most of the dogs aren't scared of noisy machinery either. I can run the chainsaw or skilsaw and they don't flinch. Navi loves to ride with me on the atv and the lawn mower.

Yes, with the mother to Cheepy...but she had serious trauma (kind of like PTSD/emotional) which is what Shad thought, and she didn't get worse...just took forever to get better. Here his only 'trauma' was physical...and he is consistently getting worse. I do think Shad did PT 4x a day, though, which I just can't do....but one would think my PT would have at least halted the progression............????

Pm him ask?
