Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Here are my ladies out in the sun.
Maggie is neither better nor worse. She lurches around like she is drunk but she isn’t all hunched up like she is feeling unwell.
She only got a half days dose of vitamins this morning because she was unimpressed by the process of popping them down her throat.
Her crop wasn’t fully empty this morning so that is another worry. I give the vitamins in coconut oil so I threw in a massage. She looked at me like I had lost my mind but acquiesced to being pummeled.

i watched our serama lay the egg, for me this was a cool experience because i saw her build her little nest by pulling strands of straw on the side and then laying the egg. (i hadnt been around to see the other ones, because she lays them later at night when im often cleaning the coop and not around to watch, however this time she did it a tad earlier, so i was able to see it! The other times i just saw a egg in a frisbe like nest! )

Thank you. Diana is not at her best as all her feathers came out a week or so ago just in time for the cold weather.

Poor diana! Our serama darlin is also suffering from that, shes starting her molt i beileve, if she was a outdoor chicken she would not be doing great, its quite cold here. (luckily shes a indoor one, and has a nice little run with a jungle gym and bedding nests) i had actually thought she started her molt earlier, but she ended up laying eggs and looked the same, so i crossed that out.

They really do get to look rather pathetic. Diana has joined the single tail feather club.

Free Range Time

Some more free range this evening. Still jumpy and they should be.

Poor, beautiful Hattie
