Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I'm going to lose the Black Polish

Probably in the next hour or so. The Buff is active and eating fish.

Oh I’m so sorry Bob. This has been a dreadful experience for you.

Oh no! Are you sure, Bob? Were you able to force any food? Did you try egg, liquid crumble, etc?

 

[micstrachan]

But yay to the buff improving!

I am going to have to do something. What does someone do with a pooppy towel then?

I wash them in the machine, but use a hose nozzle on jet first.

Sorry… not sure how I landed on this old page.

 

[micstrachan]

Forgive the language,but knock off that shit.

Right???

 

[micstrachan]

Right. I need to go horizontal.
Good luck @BY Bob. I'll be back tomorrow hoping to read something positive.
I'm sorry I haven't been able to help much.
Good night to the rest of you.

Nighties!

The Buff is Eating

The Buff chick was just eating some fish out of my hand. I think she is going to make it. The Black would not eat anything.

I don't need to tell everyone my fears if Phyllis rejects them again and the Black passes away on me.

I wasn’t sure which emoji, so chose love, for you and for the buff eating, not for the situation. I’m so so sorry this has happened.

I ordered my Buckeyes from the same place. Hatched & shipped Monday (Butters might have hatched Sunday), they arrived on Tuesday. Maybe Buckeyes are hardy, the chicks were busting out of the box when I got them, Popcorn leading the way. Shipped from Ohio to Central New York State. Last July. So it's not an impossible task by any means. This was a postal mistake, a handling, shipping problem and there's no excuse. If Bob has had problems with ordering before, as indicated, it's an endemic problem in the routing and execution, and really callous to boot, adding insult to horrible injury. No excuse in my book.

This is an interesting point. Maybe if he tries it again someday, he could have them shipped somewhere more reliable and drive to get them.

Ok, I admit it. I am in tears. Bob, I can’t imagine yours and Mrs. BY Bob’s anguish. Huge hugs to you both.

This makes me not want to buy feed store chicks, either. They also come through the mail. There is an operation in southern California that delivers their own live chicks on a schedule up and down the state. I will look into them again. I forget the name. Something with “dream” in it, I think?
