Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

Benzalkonium chloride is pretty ubiquitous - the only thing I know about it is that you need to be careful around eyes with it (that is not a chicken specific fact).

Confused. Com

Yup.
We have a mean Orp and a grumpy Dominique who enjoy bullying this particular girl.

She needs too learn there's bigger and better than her

We are doing Guinea Pig Chickens! So I added a turtle.

This is one of the lessons I learned from my Bok, I brought her in for a night or 2 before putting her back out with the pullets until her vet appointment.
I also wonder if having her euthanised was the correct thing to do but I went by your rule Shad of counting the days she wasn’t eating or coming out of the coop and I felt she was suffering too much and I was heartsick for her.
I guess I’ll never know and it doesn’t do well to speculate, otherwise you end up going in circles of guilt

Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry you are suffering with the sometime speculation, I know it all too well also. She was with the pullets for awhile because you put her back, so she did have that comfort of company.

is any one licensing to me

Yes, I am seeing your posts but I am over ten pages behind and thinking someone else may have already responded to you. All right -- I know nothing about pheasants, much less pheasant roosters. Are they similar to chickens? If so, have you read @Shadrach 's article Understanding Your Rooster? https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/understanding-your-rooster.75056/

I recommend you search @Shadrach and "rooster" and view his responses to other posters rooster questions too so you can try to get a handle on what is going on. Plus, there are others who are experienced with roosters on BYC.

Also, have you posted on any threads that other pheasant keepers frequent?

Don't be surprised if she isn't choosing the nest box. Mine frequently sleep there while molting by choice.

Second that! Someone has slept there every now and then lately, and this last week definitely, I found a ton of fluff feathers in there on a few days. I see Butters going in there during the day too, I suppose just for some warm alone time.

Anybody ever try changing the alternator on a Lexus ls400? (I came up with some colorful adjectives, that even I haven’t heard before) crazy Japanese cars!

Most Toyota alternators are placed in very convenient spots. Where did the fools put it that it was such a hard replacement? I have changed dozens of them with no trouble.
