Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

It's also a challenge to ensure lower rank animals receive proper socialization - I have found that some prefer smaller groups rather than larger ones. This can also be found with other animals including humans.

I'm guessing some animals and humans prefer to be alone until there is someone they can feel comfortable with.
Being alone is not necessarily being lonely. It's a better choice IMO

I really hope so but how long it it going to take? You wouldn’t think one tiny little chicken could take up an entire bathroom!

5?

Glad I'm not the only one who's eyes are playing tricks.

No drinking pics today, so instead the poser got caught (no pics, but found him telling the girls to lay eggs in the carport yesterday)

Leaving for work on Tuesday...

King of all he surveys....

I KNOW I look good...

Some lessons are learned the hard way. I still think it is not as bad as Betty's face plant on the Cluckle Hut door.

Yeah - that was pretty bad! Lulu's flight abilities let her land with a tad more grace.

I think I see 6 but wouldn'e be surprised if there were 7.

No, there are four. Snowy is right in the thick of it, you can just see her face!

I have to look again I definitely counted 6! Maybe one is very big!

 

[RoyalChick]

I remember!

That was one of the all time greats - we could benefit from a re-airing of that clip!

I definitely saw 6. Clearly I need new glasses.

What is the purpose of keeping them in? Is it separation from wild birds? Or something else?

Dr Kevin suggested bringing her in as he didn’t think she would cope with the cold, given that she has absolutely no meat on her. She weighs 820 grams.

You mentioned in a previous post that there is no coccidia inside and it would help her heal. Hubby said she looked miserable today and wasn’t really interested in food. I was thinking that if it isn’t raining on the weekend, or windy, she should spend the day outside and come in for the night. What do people think? She will have her third treatment of Baycox tomorrow morning.
