Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I felt generous this morning, so I made Scrambled eggs, chopped up some cooked bacon from yesterday, and some steak, from last night. All the chooks are going crazy over it, right now!

I love this. I too have done it from time to time.

Do you live in NJ next to @RoyalChick

I'm going to tuck the girls in and then hibernate and pray for a better day tomorrow

Good night sweet fluffy folk

Hope you were able to stay warm.

I did just that 15 minutes ago

I have been trying everything to comfort my very special feathered friend. He’s relaxing now. His is runny like water topped with avocado (not good on a taco) just saying. His throat gurgling has quieted down, but if he was okay, he’d be crowing his Cochin head off by now!

Piscia, Naenae and Tacky were far more interested in attacking my clothes than posing for a photo

Wonderful pics. Thanks for sharing!

Great minds think alike.

I hope it helped.

Hoping you both get some sleep tonight.

Sleep is a commodity I can’t afford right now. And rightfully so.

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.

I'll wait until I'm caught up to comment further.

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.

for Jaffar and you. Stay tough little man.

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.
