Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

Good morning

I haven't time to catch up yet.
My Tina us on the third day with a bad foot. It's really cold here this us so worrying because soaking her foot then putting her back in the cold is just cruel

Remember, RC said it might take up to six weeks to heal.

If you mess with it too much, it might get worse?

I missed that reply from JC thanks Mary

I replied to your post about Tina but it was likely long after you went to bed. I was just sharing my experiene with a sprain type injury. It would be different if it was an infection like bumble foot for example.

Well, my girls seemed to recognize it as an alert of some kind.

Phyllis just did it as I brought her fresh water this morning. I'll try to remember to video it next time.

Those are beautiful curtains for chickens but I guess they need pretty things too.

 

[BY Bob]

Ooookay.

So that's a double SHRA tax from me I should've known!

She really was super-busy Bob. She took such a lot on.

She sure did. It was an incredible situation. She is truly an amazing lady for dealing with it as she was.

@Ponypoor
My 'range' of egg colors. The 3 at the top are my duck eggs, 1 from my Rouen mix, the other 2 from my Khaki Cambells. Note the greyish 'cast' on theirs. Also, circled in red, is where the wet bloom came in contact with the straw and wipes off the slight color. Once I wash them, this stays, so it really makes them look more 'dirty' than colored, as once the bloom drys, the color stays intact.

The spotted brown egg with a blue arrow but no words is from my Welsummer. I used to have a true blue eggs, but now I only have slight variations of blue-green, and quite the range of brown eggs. I don't think it shows true in the picture, but one of the brown eggs has a real pinkish-lavender 'cast' to it. That, is from one of my Buff Orpington girls. They tend to lay pink/lavender eggs. However, not usually this dark...I only have one laying that dark of an egg color.

@BY Bob I really give you credit! (Gold star for you!) It is so hard to write with your finger on the mouse pad. Yours come out quite legible! Not sure how you do it!
