Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Have you viewed this video RC?

ETA I've just been scanning the comments and it's surprising how many people are asking the vet to consult with no thought of compensating her for her time and expertise.

Great info thanks for sharing!

LOL, no, the larger one on the right is the HERITAGE one. Sorry I didn't make that more clear.

Why so cryptic? I too was confused. I thought I knew the answer but wasn't certain. Sydney is  NOT a heritage barred rock, right?

Prickly pear cactus started blooming here. Will try for pics tomorrow.

Oh lovely

I now feel even more guilty my cactus garden is a jungle

Drive/fly safe!

Have my fingers crossed!

Thank you, I flew safely (another perfect landing. I know how much $ landing gear costs to replace) !
Xzit update: she’s still setting, but all her feed was gone (so she’s eating at least) she doesn’t want to leave her egg. Hen-Rietta seems slow and sitting around quite a bit. But I’m not too worried about it yet.

Okay, but not too close to the cactus

That was a great video MJ, thanks for sharing.
It doesn't leave me any clearer on what is going on TBH.
I am going to sit out there now it is cool and see how she is breathing, but something isn't right because she just fell off the roost! Maybe coincidence of course.

Well, you know what I'd do: take her to see the best vet available.

I am a little worried about Bella.
I have posted on the emergencies forum.
If any of you have any experience with this I would appreciate your thoughts.
