Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Bernadette - daring to hope.
I can’t quite see her leg position but she didn’t have to try three times to jump up.
Sooo hoping it is the vitamin deficiency and nothing else.
Off out to top up her vitamin water.

Yay, Bernadette!

I hope Minnie is okay. I’m kinda worried about Shenandoah too. I watched her swallow a whole mouse today (10 minutes ago)

M&M Mars is one of Hershey's biggest competitors. M&Ms are NOT made in Hershey, PA.

Didn't the founder of m&m Mars originally work at Hershey chocolate? I took a tour of Hershey and want to remember it that way.

So lately when I’m weeding, Minnie is right in my way… Like literally has her head directly over the spot I’m pulling weeds out of and is trying to peck at the dirt right at that spot. It’s really pretty darn cute. However, today after work, I noticed she was still hovering around me, but was not very active. I kept an eye on her and could tell she very clearly wasn’t feeling well and she proceeded to get worse. Couple times when I picked her up she had diarrhea on me. Eventually I brought the girls into the run on the early side, because she couldn’t keep up and I thought she wanted to be in, but have her friends around her. I brought a chair out and some wine and took this video.

But then I realized she was straining and shot this quick video… I figured she was either egg bound or had a soft egg or both and ran inside for some calcium.

When I came back out, all the girls were huddled around where she had been. I figured she had dropped a soft egg, as they were eating something off the ground, and she had perked up some. She still clearly doesn’t feel well and I hope she’s going to be OK. I popped the calcium and hope it helps her recover. Poor baby! I will have a look at her vent after they go to bed.

Minnie put herself to bed first, so I was able to look at her vent. All good; no prolapse. She must be exhausted and I’m hoping she feels better in the morning.

My cinnamon queen likes ground moles and eats them whole

Is the mouse the only thing you’re worried about? I think that’s great! Or are you worried about something else?

1. That the mouse maybe was too big for her to digest
2. That my bills for rental cars (I haven’t added up yet)
3. That I know nothing about who owns chocolate factories.
4. And I owe lots of chicken tax now.
