Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

Anyone know where I can find a chicken to English translation app? I really need one lately!

You mean Google Translate can’t do that?!

Google can’t do it. SIRI was rude to me when I asked. I really need to tell one of my hens, that she’s becoming just too fat. She eats everything, and that’s not healthy for her.

I am switching between watching the chickens on the barn cam and Father Brown on TV

I have a fondness of BBC programmes. It rivals my chicken/pony cams hahaha

I quite like Father Brown, it has a very panto vibe.

The rainbow rangers CAN be barred (lots of variety) and the grey rangers (kosher kings), both meat hybrids.

I guess I never really thought of those as they are 'meat birds', not 'dual purpose' birds. Thanks for including them...I suspect we won't really be able to tell until they look like 'mini me' s ?probably another 3-4 weeks 'till they are pretty much all feathered in?

Hector is moving better with the feet wrapped than he was without the wraps. We'll see how things go tomorrow re: more wrap on him.

Do give us an update....I am hoping for significant improvement between B vitamins and the wrapping! I suspect you will need to re-wrap them for a while, though, given how curled they were...unless it was due solely to vit. deficiency.

I'm glad my suggestion was helpful.

Thanks for your input on mystery gal!

That is what kicked in with me and strapping Bernadette’s foot into a boot splint. It just had to happen and there was only me to do it!
Now I have a whole new skill!

Speaking of that...how is her therapy & progress going? I was amazed at the improvement you made with her in just a few days between the boot and therapy. Such a good chicken mamma...all the massaging and exercise I am positive is a big part of the improvement...and the boot helps to 'maintain' the progress between sessions.

Thanks for mentioning it! I had forgotten about that.

When I get to that post in my 'catching up, hope you don't mind if I commander the idea!

Yes! I was really happy with it. It folds up really small for storage and the bottom is the real ground so they can scratch around.
I managed to get them all into the cat carrier without too much drama so it was a nice day out for them. They are so cute at this stage - they keep doing grown-up sort of things but are still really babies and need to nap after their crazy running around.
I am of course besotted.

Aught-oh..... I see some babies each year in your future, you are so besotted! Good thing you have such a large chicken palace.

Putting the chooks away, I took a pic of my “fat” hen. She’s a big girl, the largest one of the newer Rocks:
