Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[knoturavggrl]

Have you brought in a box of sand/dirt? Mine wanted a bath before a week old. Since you have 13 chicks, maybe two boxes.

No I haven’t yet but Id like to. I actually have a phenomenal sandy dusty dirt area under the lean to attached the coop that will become their run. I just cant get out there at the moment I broke my ankle and have been on non weight bearing status for the last 6 weeks! Ill see if my husband will put some in a couple of boxes for them when he gets home and some sod too. Both are fantastic ideas.

Just got back from a quick visit with paul. The mechanic will be there this afternoon to install the sensor on the SkyHawk. It’s getting hot here again today. Already 92f but will be pushing 100f in an hour or so.
(Wonder if “SkyHawk” can be used as tax free status)

@RoyalChick how is Lulu today?

Thanks everyone for asking after Lulu. She is a mystery to me.
No egg overnight and no egg this morning and she is not very interested in visiting the nest boxes today. I have examined her rear end (externally only) and cannot feel an egg and nor is she pumping her tail.
She is a bit perkier today. She is eating and drinking.
But, she is definitely not her normal chipper self.
She is sitting and resting much more often than usual (and more than the others).
One odd thing is she is sitting with her rear end and tail very high - this is a mild version I caught on camera. Very blurry as it is from a far away coop cam - but you can see her shape.
Anyone any ideas?

I'm sorry. Nothing is coming to mind. All I can think of is egg related and as you said, there is no egg.

Sooo.......there is a bird cage in my brother's room. No bird in it, but he sent me a video earlier of a green cheek conure. Asked my opinion....of course I said yes. Now I will have to stalk his room to see when MY new baby arrives. He told me if he got it I was not allowed to steal it. Replied that was fine but I wanted a will made gifting it to me if god forbid something ever happened.
