Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

She is my * I'm really a human in disguise* chicken. She is my friendliest, most curious, least afraid of anything chicken~ but diminutive.

She is just awesome!

That's what @Marie2020 needs! Construction worker Hattie!!!! She'll shame them all into falling in line!

Needs a hard hat - a white one for the boss...

For those of you following Bernadette’s progress this video shows what I mean when I say her gait is wonky.

This is from a Pixel 4a phone, it's high-rated for the camera compared to iPhones, I wanted to stick with Android, and not spend oodles on something I might lose in the woods. It also has a pin-plug for earphones which is better audio than Bluetooth (plus I'm old-school).

I'm really old school. I use a CAMERA, like, actual camera. I don't own a cell phone (well, sort of do one that is about 15 + years old. No longer compatible with phone networks, and was just a 'phone' (voice and text..but never used the text function) back then. BUT Federal regulations make the companies retain the ability to make 911 calls. So, I keep it in my vehicle, and the old school plug into cigarette lighter cord...just in case. We don't get cell reception where I live anyways, so why bother?

It is a little wonky. However, I do see her putting weight on it when she is standing...unlike before, when it really wouldn't support her. So much better!

Remember, nothing goes away overnight....it is great progress...lets hope that continues!

(P.S. Tell her I said 'Absolutely no backsliding young lady - you hear!")

Oh yes - as long as she doesn't get worse she is perfectly functional as she is now - it is just so weird to me - her legs are too straight and her toes aren't flexing enough - it is all just very strange.

Show standards they are not but it's possible that they have Columbian history resulting in the broken/partial lacing. Actually, I don't think red Wyandottes are a show category, but I know many are working towards getting blue laced red accepted.

They're going to struggle on the blue laced as it doesn't breed true

Yup...and I bet you hunted down the end of the rainbow to find your 'pot-o-gold', didn't ya!












Unfortunately, I bet it wasn't the pot of 'gold' you were hoping for:

It ended on the neighbor's stables....

Are you still doing therapy with her? That might help as her neural pathways improve..to have them 'experiencing' what they should be doing?

I just remember @Shadrach story about Cheepy's mom. I realize it was a different cause..but again
