Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

It looks like the electrolytes are working. This evening there was a long poop with a piece of grass that I had to pull out which also seemed to help her condition.

Excellent that you got the grass out. She is your challenge hen for sure. I am glad she perked back up. How is she doing size wise? Is she catching up to the others?

So young!

It's all about feed to egg ratio. Once they slow down laying even a little, profitability falls. So they get rid of them and go with new. It breaks my heart to think of it.

That's a good thing. I'm really pleased they are not in the concentration camps for any longer, I just hate the thought of chickens being in such conditions.

Both of us.

I didn't think anyone or anything could possibly make me smile in the mornings but you Alex are an exception.

How's bopeep this morning?

Little BoPeep is still asleep and only Jaffar wakes her up in the morning! (Sounds like an old Irish folk song)

At least you are second in command

I never thought I would be taking second place to a redheaded feathered football!

Hey they need to live up to their agreements. They would withhold eggs if I didn't do what I am supposed to.

Withholding meally worms from your chooks, I still believe that it’s a fowl thing to do!

Tight Rope Walking

I have started trying to get the littles to eat from my hand. They are of course terrified of the hand. Yesterday in order to get away Legertha decided to fly. Watch as they right tight rope walk their way around the brooder. They perched for quite some time and then flew back into the brooder.

Looks to me like they are scanning for ways in which they can cause trouble in the future!

Oh they expanded their range later in the day. They so cute I can't stop them. I'm so glad I have taken the carpet up in the room. The timing was perfect.
