Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Jaffar has had a very bad day. Has a cough, sneezing, somehow wrapped his leg up in some discarded fishing line, his bum was covered in and he was dehydrated. He’s in the chicken room drying off after I bathed him. No cuts or leg damage, I could see. But I gave him vitamin water and canned corn (laced with antibiotics) poor little guy.

And for Ruby (I wish all the best, little darling)

Violet is being a wonderful mom!! She is very protective of the little ones.

Baby number 3 is tucked under Violet.

I'm surprised at how very round she can make herself.

Wow, she’s so pretty! What breed is she?

Okay , if it is protein try mealworms and oyster shells, they also love them

Yep! Already have the oyster shell station up for calcium supplementation. Limit the meal worms to be treats only, so only sprinkles here and there.

Thank you. I think that was Ruby's last run-around. I'm glad I let her out for a bit. She tired easily, and I took her back to her flock. I had to get to work, anyway. She put herself back to bed with Millie before I left.

I'm working from home the last couple hours and she is in bad shape. She hadn't moved since I left. I made Millie come out for a bit, but when I attempted Ruby, I could tell she was too weak and ended up leaving her. I brought her water and stroked her back, but she wanted to get away from me. She hopped up (18 inches) to the upper coop to do so. Now I feel terrible, because I disturbed her and she's not with her Millie. She's in the upper coop with her face in the corner. I put up a couple little clip fans to make sure the air is moving, as it was in the low 80ºs here today and Ruby does not do well in heat.

The end is near. My poor, sweet Ruby. I hope she isn't suffering too badly.

Mhm! I’m buying a chicken soccer ball that you fill up with meal worms and they peck it around and only get a few out at a time, can’t wait to try it

I went back to town and bought more steaks for tonight. And a watermelon, so the Chooks can have that tomorrow.

They eat better than a lot of people!

Oh my goodness! Rest up, Jaffar!

They are my chickens, so...........

He is resting, now in the chicken room. I turned on the TV to his favorite YouTube videos.
