Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

How does she seem this morning?

She is still favoring the leg. She was scratching a while ago. I'm not sure it seems any better today.

It will take a little time, just like us. I'm sure she'll be better soon. If you can't see anything wrong, it has to be a sprain.

Maybe this is why chickens like eating fish?
I just love this. They have found the oldest chicken fossil (66.7 million years old). She is the ancestress of all chickens - and she is called Wonder Chicken.
Anyway, Wonder Chicken seems to have been a shore-dwelling bird. So maybe that is why chickens go so wild for fish - it is deep in their heritage!

I love this! I have always wondered.

The squirrel knows that Lilly is hurt. Look at him!

He ran all over the coop, in and out of the run. He really does know. I am certain Lilly is sitting there thinking......

I'm surprised Aurora did not go after him. She hates everyone!

I know it's Chilly out but.....

I really wish Sydney would find another way to stand.

Maybe try what @Shadrach suggested; confining her in a pet carrier with some straw/wood shavings in a darkened room for a day or two. I am anxious for her to get better!

Such a clever girl! She knows how to keep warm.
