Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Lady Red]

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

I get it and I'm lol while relating... youngest kiddo ate at a friend's last night and said our version of the same meal is better. Turns out not everyone truffles their tater tots.

He is resting, now in the chicken room. I turned on the TV to his favorite YouTube videos.
(I Love my rooster)

Has he watched Chicken Run?

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.

Poor Jaffar! Get better, Buddy!

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.

I've said this before, but simply must repeat myself. Mama hens are some of my favorite creatures in the world. LOVE HER!!!

That being said...was a simple vegetarian red beans and rice dish tonight....heavy on the spice. @WhoDatChick may even approve the New Orleans nod

Not allowed to watch R rated movies (chicken rating applies)

But lawyers who charged a decent hourly price, are good creatures also. (Note I said creatures)

Yikes! Do you have a generator? Even though this is California, we do get a few sub-freezing days a year and power failures are common. I keep air-activated glove warmers on hand for that, and we finally got a decent generator this year. I won't run the house, but it can run the fridge, an area heater, lights, and electronics. Stay safe!

That is what I have - a generator for fridge, freezer, well pump and garage doors. Best thing I ever bought!

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.

Those hugs are for you and for Ruby.
