Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Patsy didn’t take any crap, did she?!

Only from Daisy, the greatest hen ever. Patsy was mean. She was a legend at roosting time.

Check out this video of Patsy and Lilly fighting over the best roosting spot. It starts with Patsy flipping Lilly off. Lilly gets her back. Patsy will win in the end.

Great video, I hadn't seen the first one. Maybe you or @Shadrach can answer - it seems with Jabberwocky the step is sort of forward and to one side, and the wing is let out on the opposite side of the step? Here and in the lady's video the hen, the audience of the dance, is on the step side with the wing on the other. Is it always arranged that way?

As I remember, Jabber always did his that way. I can only speak to what he did. Hopefully Shadrach can weigh in on if it is consistent or not.

I Screwed Up

Check out the coop temp right now.

That used to be my favorite radio station, Kiss FM 102.7

It is crazy hot here. I have let the misting fan run out of charge.

I have it plugged in so I can deploy it later. Thankfully no one is setting a nest in that coop anymore.

Good grief! They engage each other like Sumo wrestlers. Unbelievable!

Geez that is hot. It looks like it will break here on Saturday - is that true for you too?

Patsy believed in roost fights and Lilly carried the tradition on until I put in the high roost.

It is supposed to. Hot again tomorrow.

Well, I hadn't intended to sleep in it, but I suppose the chooks might appreciate some company.

I wonder if they would be disturbed by meal worm rustling?

Is that anything like cattle rustling?

Hot here too. It’s 100f and me and Coco are inside, watching YouTube.

Hi everyone, just checking in. I'm sorry I'm late but happy belated birthday Alex. My sister is on the mend finally but I tested positive today. Tuesday evening started feeling like a sinus infection was coming on and honestly that is what it feels like I have. A sinus infection from hades. I'm fully vaccinated and have been since April so hopefully it keeps it at a sinus infection type situation. I have no fever thankfully but my blood sugar levels are slightly elevated, not dangerous though yet. That is going to be the tricky part as of right now, because my doctor insisted I start steroids before it got to my lungs so prescribed a prednisone pack. I know from experience that steroids makes my levels go stupid, so instead of taking them like normal he wants me to only take 2 a day for a week. That way hopefully while it will increase my blood sugars somewhat it wont send me into the 500 plus range which will require hospitalization. Right now they are hovering at 180 to 200 but I'm crossing everything possible that I can manage to keep them below 350. Everyone else in the house is fine so far and are supposed to come off of quarantine next Wednesday, but we will have to see if that gets extended now with my positive result.
