Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Aurora looks like she is eyeing up your coffee! My little D'uccle LOVES beer.

A moment later she pecked something off of the table right behind the cup. I started to reach out and stop her because it looked just like she was going to peck my coffee. Stopped my heart for a minute!

Introducing the current residents of Fluffy Butt Acres

As you can see from the front of the coop, we currently have 4 residents. Patsy, Lilly, Hattie & Jabber.

Patsy & Lilly have been here the longest and we ar enot really certain what kind of birds they are but they are likely Black Sex Links. Hattie and Jabber have just joined the flock this summer as they were chicks we got back in April. Here are their individual photos.

Patsy
She is our alpha hen and is extremely friendly. While not a big fan of being picked up she comes right up to you and will talk and visit.

Lilly is currently #2 in the pecking order and intends to stay there. She has become our little enforcer and she defends the flock from such terrors as squirrels, rabbits, doves, and most importantly, ducks.

More to come on our newbies.

They seem like dominant black d 109 hybrids. World's best black sex links.

How is patsy doing?

Patsy is the same. The full course of antibiotics is done. Hopefully I can get a sample tonight to take to the state lab. She is still eating and being a chicken, she is just not well. I wish I had more answers right now.

Awe, sweet girl... at least she is still eating and drinking.. that’s always a good sign.

Yes. I still have time to figure this out. As long as she keeps eating and drinking.

Quick update this morning

Patsy is not leaving the coop and I did not get a stool specimen last night. I am gravely concerned. Everyone else is out free ranging.

Patsy is such a lovely girl. You have a little paradise there. Thank you for the beautiful pictures too.

I hope Patsy improves.

It stinks when you know something is wrong, but you can't put your finger on it, and they can't tell you.
