Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Silver I forgot, someone I knew got burned with paraffin, after soaking we used the silver and the scars healed in a matter of days. It doesn't take the sting out immediately but the wounds heal very fast.

Thanks Marie, My blisters are pealing off and new skin is showing already. The hospital gave me special cream, by prescription, and promotes fast healing.

Digging in Blossoms

Someone asked about the hens enjoying all of the fallen blossoms from the magnolia tree. Well they spent a large part of yesterday under the tree so I think they did.

Out roaming this afternoon and "back at the ranch" so to speak, in the old unattached and still- covered run. Hazel and Queenie started dustbathing in the sunny warmth. Then the three others found them and quickly joined in. This is the second time they've come back to it to bathe, and it's sheltered and they rest and preen in there too.
I've tried to upload it to my youtube channel but not sure if it's there yet:

Maybe I won't clear out all that litter as I was planning, only some, as they like to dustbathe in it? Or should I change it out for health reasons? Or It's about six months old but mostly been dry (though on the bare ground) in the covered run, since the coop was attached for the winter. So its aged ramial chips, some hemp, pdz, wood stove ashes, lots of poo, some feed dust, grit & oyster shell bits. I periodically hoed it around to bury poo and keep it interesting. Part of it has become quite fine and dirt-like. Maybe it's called Deep Bedding since it's dry? I've read a bit but don't recall how often people change it out. I'd replace it with a big pile of new but aged ramial chips & everything else (but minus the poo til they visit again )

Bathing beauties - great video!

It's called silvadene creme here. Great stuff. Sliver is a natural antibacterial agent.

By the way, I know that this little one, picked her own name off my iphone, but I'm not calling Xzit "zit" . I am pronouncing it 'Zeet" Who wants to go through life, being called zit?

Much better. I never liked zit.

Check the label. I bet it has silver in it.

Wet ground with blossoms all over it. The bug and worm content had to be very high.

I always assumed it was like ziti and was hoping that she would soon get to have baked ziti as a treat.

I use the liquid form. I've never found the cream or the plasters they are very rare in this location . Colloidal silver
