Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LaFemmeKatia]

Hi everyone, been a bit since I've been on. Spent a hour reading and playing catch up. It's good to hear that for the most part everyone is well. Hope you recover soon RC from the inner ear issues, those are definitely no fun. I'm also sorry to hear about Volt shad, if it is to be her time at least she got to live the end of it under your care and got to experience normal chicken behavior. I've been experiencing one of the many drawbacks to covid, after you have had it and recovered your immune system is shot. The past week and a half dealt with walking pneumonia. Last Saturday my breathing was so bad that any other time I would have went to the ER, in fact I considered it. But Covid is still so rampant at the hospitals that I toughed it out. The last thing I needed was to get it again on top of the pneumonia. I think I'm finally over it just weak and a nagging cough. I finally went out today and spent some time with the chickens this afternoon. I could tell they missed me and I was mobbed, even by the blue girls who have gotten bold enough to come peck at my sweatshirt sleeves and fingers. Branch was so happy to see me that when he was in my lap instead of settling right down he proceeded to yell at me for a good 5 minutes. Afterwards he took a nap in his favorite spot, my arms.

Glad to see you back here. I hope you get over this virus soon!

She's dead. I still left it to long.

I’m sorry

This is just so sad. That's Amp in the picture. She's pretty much on her own now and she knows it. I'm hoping that one of the legbars who sometimes forages with her will be her friend. It's not the dead that suffer, it's the living they leave behind.
Amp is not well. It looks to be heart problems which has caused ascites. Ascites cannot be cured. The belly can be drained but the underlying problem still remains.

Cloud. Happy to report she looks healthier by the day.

This is all of us.

I'm sorry Shad. It's never easy.

At least you gave her life some pleasant days and the knowledge that their is kindness in the world.

Such a lovely tribe.

I love the fact, that your chickens have access to heavy equipment! (The yellow dump trucks in the picture)

Metal Tonka trucks are hard to find. We've got several and they make decent garden tools (weed collection).

I'm thinking of getting mine a set of drums

We want video, with sound!

And they are the right size for chickens to drive!
