Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

He is absolutely gorgeous. I'm smitten

He’s a wild one! He got loose and I had the devil of a time catching him!!!

Tomorrow I will put him in a stall where he can’t escape and I will have an easier time to catch him!

 

[Ponypoor]

Oh, I had no idea you could do that! I was thinking like a womans hair clip to hold them down for a bit just to see if that was the issue or not. In retrospect that would probably scare her more then cutting them would

I hope it goes smoothly for everyone.

It’s a lot of feathers! I only got a small Amy of the Roos feathers done! I can only imagine by_bob doing Guccis!

 

[Ponypoor]

I don’t care how much this hen “Flash” complains. She’s inside to cool down and get some meds for those sticky fleas!!!!

I dosed Mr Pompei with the Revolution it was easy peasy, wonder if that would be useful for you?

On his skin like we do for cats?

Yes the kitten dose.

I liked your idea of something temporary just to see if indeed that helps address the problem and is less drastic than shaving her head!
I assumed you meant something like this:

Poor Blanche is molting so much! She and Marty just can’t stand to be touched - those feathers look tender

Poor baby.

 

[BY Bob]

Not exactly a lap chicken but I am allowed to touch. Later she decides to peck me. A bit like when you give a cat a tummy rub - it is all soft and lovely until suddenly it is all claws and teeth!
