Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

Sylvie

She will likely stay near the bigs, but on the fringes. As she gets closer to adult size, the distance will shrink. (Storm had to do this. Yesterday, she flew out of the coop and half landed on Cheetah who just moved away a little bit.)

Fret. She's very shy and she's the one who tries to bury herslef under Henry's wing.

This young hen has just had her nose cleaned. She has some respiratory issues.

This one is laying but she went on the watch list yesterday. I think she may have worms which I can deal with.

This one isn't quite the full ticket. She has what might be taken for mild bird flu symptoms.

This one is laying and moulting

This one had some beak adjustment. She was not impressed. Where her beak has been butchered, instead of growing foreward her lower beak has spread out sideways.

It's Friday again; they come around so fast!
It's Bob's thread so I don't want to get caught slacking so here's a double FBF.

In here, next to the rooster! Or, I have room in the barn with Chaco? View attachment 2902456

I'll go for the barn thanks but jaffa is in with me to

I’m OK. I am just so sad for Bob and Mrs Bob. They both have such big hearts and this will hit them hard.

So do you

Butter we need to have a talk. It's the middle of November and a lovely 28 degree's currently and you choose now to molt. Dare I even mention that the weather man is forecasting snow. 10 minutes before these pictures were taken and she came off the roost she had 3 tail feathers left. Those were lost with her first shake of the morning.

She looks just like a small chick to me

Marmite has a highly accurate advertising slogan - "You either love it or you hate it".
It is absolutely foul!!

Warning, blast from the past:

Oh, then it is good for chickens!

@Marie2020 @RoyalChick --chicken head count please -- I am freaking out a bit here-- SITREP
I am praying for Bob and Rose, this has been a Jolt,

It threw me I can tell you. I was upset all night and still sad.

Say hello to Agatha with Tina's bottom in the background

I have acquired some new Fluffy Butt photos:

…and one not so fluffy butt:

Poor Sofia has lost all of her tail feathers!
In fact, she looks pretty raggety!
