Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

And when you advise you provide advice (I think).

Now, that's going to help me because I'm ok with advice/advise. I can't believe I hadn't noticed that before.

I've been dismayed in recent days. But I won't say more because we should stay off that topic if possible.

Yes, you got it right (and I had it wrong for years!) You practise vet medicine in a vet practice.

Well speaking of dismay, that would dismay me if I had to write in British English
Small things to hang on to.

OK, finally, is this video visible? This was right after Queenie flew out of the divided area. [EDIT - last week! It was their first physical encounter] Hazel had flown into it, pecked at her some, ate her food, foraged a bit, pecked her more, and then flew out after I was stepping over to change the water. I see this is small and narrow. Should I video with the phone sideways (like panoramic?)

OK I haven't read ahead, I am behind a lot in the thread, but found this when I googled the phrase veterinary medical

To me it doesn't look like aggressive pecking. It almost looks like they are soft, inquisitive pecks. I wonder if her comb is attracting them or if she happened to have food on her face.

Looks like bullying to me.

Hazel got more aggressive later on. I think everyone was kind of tentative because they are / were pullets. I should edit to clarify this was their first physical encounter after Queenie was in the house quarantining. Hazel had flown over the too-low fence and out again, and Queenie really wanted to mix it up with them!

No call-out for the Hurry twice = rush comment? I was saving it for you!

Nope. Was on another conference call when I checked. My mind was divided.

Ok so one of the things that got me excited was the idea of using shower curtains to block the wind and rain Really should have thought of it myself their use comes up in my iguana forums all the time but I never made the connection. My question though is did you use washers or something or just a bit of tension with screws through the grommets or?

I used fender washers and deck screws with the grommets, a staple gun, and some old door molding from the kitchen remodel in 2002 with deck screws. I used the molding on the long sections which would be on the windy side.

I can take pictures tomorrow if you would like.

It's a very hard road. A friend of my Neice wanted to be a midwife from a very early age. She was made for the job. Both vet and midwife are reputedly tougher courses than being a medical doctor.
My neices friend did manage it and in another country having to learn another language as she studied.

Wow! That is some accomplishment.
