Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I'm curious what you think would have happened

A long reign of terror.

She got a bath , because of a very dirty bumm. But she was acting slower than usual this morning. She’s out in the yard (somewhere) at the moment.

Hope it sets her straight!

Good luck with Ruby

Thanks. The vet said "she did great" and drained over 500mL off since they could see right where the fluid was. But poor Ruby is doing pretty poorly since I picked her up. Like WAY worse than before I brought her in. I'm so sad for her and I'm hoping it's just the diazepam and she's still sedated (which the vet warned me she was still under its influence.)

Ruby was STILL dripping fluid when I brought her home. Poor thing. She is no longer open beak breathing, but went straight to bed in a nest box with her face in a corner when we go home. I hope she perks up before they go to bed so she can get some fluid in her. Right in front of her next box I have baby bird formula with nutridrench in it with a raw egg cracked on top.

Aurora was a terror at the time. She was attacking all the hens below her in the pecking order. She was pulling other hens off of the roost at night. Chasing them around the yard. Standing on other hens, it was a disaster. Sansa spent several nights in the nest box rather than get pulled off the roost.

If Aurora had won she could have moved up to number 2 in the tribe. Imagine her reign of terror unchecked. It would have been awful for everyone.

Chicken whisperer! Are you out of quarantine yet? Or are you extending it so you can just stay hunkered down with the chickens? Wouldn't blame you!

This is pretty close to a SHRA. Did you copy my post? Just saying.

Oh dear. More SHRA tax - roadrunners enjoying the grass. They don't like dandelions for some reason.

That's funny, mine love dandelions. Interesting.

Exactly.

Give her some time to get over the anesthetic. I bet she perks up tomorrow.

Absolutely not - I respond strictly in order and I paid my SHRA tax.
I think once you keep reading you will find you owe some tax too.
