Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

It was stultifying. I wasn't able to defog my noggin until yesterday.

How did your girls go in the heat?

That’s ok, it’s hard to keep track of our global flock! (Or tribe. ) I will list them in pecking order:

Charlie - black Australorp
Tegan - red Faverolle (is the singular meant to have an ‘s’ on the end? I thought it was but it just looks wrong. )
River - salmon Faverolle
Nyssa - salmon Faverolle

Lucy was my other ‘red’ (ISA Brown) but now I am down to four.

I found out the other day that the horrible person who owned the battery farm where the rescue charity was trying to save the hens, he also owned the place where I got my four ISAS! So glad I rescued them.

I'm so glad you rescued them. You are a great person and did a very good thing.

Smart "Hee Haww"

That screen shot was from a few nights ago... I think? I just didn’t post it until now with the “creepy ads” convo being brought up again!

edit: i was actually meaning to reply to the “your battery was at 16% in that screen shot” comment... oops, like I said, I am fried right now from the town dat with baby goat... someone remind me tomorrow to elaborate on “goat sense” and the laundry weirdo

 

[Kris5902]

Well I'll be. An actual chastity belt for goats!

yep! And now apparently I just have to have one! Don’t know how my phone knew that... but hey it’s not like Big Brother is actually listening!

 

[Kris5902]

Anybody ever feel like and didn't mean any harm?

All the time, my brother... half the time it’s just figuring out in it’s just one, or two of my feet in my mouth. Or darn, “where did they put that sarcasm emoji?”

Ok, home now, and yes Roostie is here with us, well with his ladies all tucked in, for the night; and he’s going to stay with us as long as I can keep him comfortable.

I saw the head Vet, that owns the practice... and yes... it’s a very, very fancy (pricey) vet office. He used a lot of big fancy words too, lol. After explaining to the vet assistant that that’s more than we can responsibly commit to Roostie (financially speaking, and with his chances of both survival and longevity, as a Ranger-type meat breed) and that we would take him home and euthanize him in accordance with proper humane standards when his quality of life has declined to the point that it becomes necessary, hopefully as far in the future as possible.

The assistant countered with a “maybe we can prescribe some pain meds and try the antibiotics?” Well, I know better than to Actually ask for any drugs, so I asked “how much?” Instead... and he’s now on 500 mg of amoxicillin/cepha(I can’t look at it right now cause the kid is finally asleep on my lap, but I had the meds name in my last ‘disappeared’ post) something twice a day for ten days. Fingers crossed it helps... that’s 1000mg a day for my not quite 11lb boyo. He has definitely lost some weight over this. I was also able to finagle some betadine, so if the infection points (highly unlikely) I can lance it and debride any necrotic tissue, and clean it more effectively.

That’s where we are at for now. I’m running on a couple hours of spotty interrupted sleep, and have been up for 17 long, long hours... so please excuse my spelling, punctuation, and awful grammar. Dinner happening soon. And Arduinna is now probably the second most photographed goat in the SGI (southern gulf Islands) after Millie (the last local “celebrity” goat raised by a local author/photographer, to answer a previous question, I think by ACM? Or CCCL?, sorry I’m a little scrambled and behind as usual)

Cefazolin maybe? The amoxicillin should do the job. I love the high dose. This seems like excellent therapy to me and it should do it.

How did Roostie do on the trip? I hope he was a gentleman.

On the plus side as well, you can now get stuff in an emergency. Bless you for taking care of him.

We really do need a sarcasm emoji.

Are you being sarcastic?

Tonight I SERIOUSLY need my emotional support rooster. I found out tonight, that two of his family (Cousins) both passed from complications due to Covid just today.
this pandemic is all too real now!
