Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I think she's playing with it. Your hens are the picture of good health with plenty of proper food to eat

If it helps,I had a chat yesterday with someone who's kept chickens his whole life and he mentioned that plastics pass right through them. I'm not entirely convinced, but if it's true she'll be none the worse for it.

She definitely ate it. I saw it go in. Lilly too. They are just batty sometimes. They were furious when I pulled the plastic out of all the potted plants.

Strange animals sometimes.

I couldn't be more sad. Found out why I've had stomach problems. It's been bad. I have C. diff. Yes, they are finding that animals .. birds...can transmit it. I have a pretty sad immune system. No antibiotics to have caused it. I did this last year. Same time. We tried to figure out what I did the same that caused me to be sick. I hatched! Had this last year but got over it without the help with meds. This year I have to take something and cross fingers it helps. Placing ..all..of my chickens. I don't want to hurt like this again!

I am so sorry. I hope you recover and find joy in something new.

Everything I touch turns into a rooster.

Sort of like King Shadrach instead of King Midas.

Ummmm........Maybe you could steer clear of PA for a while? Please.

My gift metal rooster, was lonely. So I got a metal hen to keep him company.

They only eat fresh, home-made pasta?

That's mine! How did you know?

Yes, sadly I've been reading. . I know it could be from something else, I figured I had this last year but wasn't diagnosed, and from reading I realize I could be suffering from it for a while. I also have something else going on that is hard to explain. I call it woozy head. Seeing another doc for that this month.. have seen a nuero.. I won't get into detail, but from having this horrible tummy thing plus this other, I've honestly been having a hard time doing/taking care of the chickens. Our son has helped but he and his wife work and he doesn't have the time to help as much as I need. I just don't feel well enough with this stomach thing. I used to get out there and clean like no other. I also don't want to take any chances. What if I'm a lucky one and this course of treatment helps and I don't have recurrence? I can hope. I'm getting old. I have to be well..I want to keep my husband home to die. I need to take care of me best I can. My kids thought at first it was stress causing my stomach problems. Maybe. . Stress very well could have caused my immune system to misbehave. Stress can cause a lot of problems. I'm slowly losing the love of my life. Yes, I'm stressed. My chickens need to be where they can be taken care of. I honestly thought I could do this again when I started a couple of months back.

You have to do what’s best for you and your life.

That is awesome! I love it.

I just pray, she doesn’t lay iron eggs. They would crack my dishes. And ruin my skillet! Just saying.

I know I had to say hi. What time is it there?

It was 10.10pm, I went to bed not long after.

I finally got the misting system working great, A/C fan is working in the barn/coop. The chooks should be fine for tomorrow. (Gotta fix that fence) I might bring back more icy watermelons, and another bag of meally worms for the feathered family.

They were not very cooperative going back to the coop. Jaffar and Emily, were fighting for more forage time. And yes, Beetov-Hen was the last one in. (She chose not to explain herself as to why) but, she never does so...
