Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[micstrachan]

This was dinnertable discussion the other night.
Now I happen to think the CDC does the best they can with the information they have...

However!
our family all agreed we already knew you're not supposed to kiss on them, and we did it anyway.

Same. I know I’m not supposed to, but kiss mine, too.

I am going with 5.

I went with 5, too, but missed the deadline by a long shot.

Thanks, Alex. I missed this post. Ruby is still with us (barely).

I wanted to ask but didn’t want to upset you, I know how you must be feeling

I feel this is a huge propaganda push to stop people from being free, free to raise chickens, cows ect..... next they will say, if you grew that it has to be usda inspected-- I say, Give Me Freedom or Give Me Death

Interesting take. Why do you think that is? They know backyard chicken keepers are aware of animal cruelty in the biz and fear it might be threatened? You’ve got me thinking!

Due to prayer, and antibiotics, Jaffar is doing much better. I even let him out with the other tribe a total turnaround!

YAY, Jaffar!

Yes, I know this from first hand experience. I don't give mealworms at all any more.

Me, neither. However, a friend gave us a giant bag of scratch and they’ve been getting about a handful every couple days on average. I need to stop that. And Ruby got a couple (live) super worms I stole from hubby’s reptiles, as I felt pretty confident something else would take Ruby before fatty liver did.

It’s so beautiful little white speckles!
In the nesting box too, I’m so proud of my big girl

She must have gotten sick of my jokes at her expense

YAY, Jaffar!

I did bring him in the house with me last night (seems Emily wants to perch up in the rafters) and I saw poor Jaffar sitting all alone if I have my say in this, “screw the hens, we bachelors can hang out together “. His breathing is still strained and his sneezing just won’t go away (But he’s my buddy, and I will do my very best for him!

That's great news. Well done Alex. May he keep improving.
