Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

On the other hand, birds aren't mammals and can eat lots that we cant. This particular night shade is one of the least toxic and according to wiki "
The poison in this species is believed to be solanine.[17] The alkaloids, solanine (from unripe fruits), solasodine (from flowers) and beta-solamarine (from roots) have been found to inhibit the growth of E. coli and S. aureus.[18] Solanine and solasodine extracted from Solanum dulcamara showed antidermatophytic activity against Chrysosporium indicum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and T. simil, thus it may cure ringworm.[19]

The stems are approved by the German Commission E for external use as supportive therapy in chronic eczema.[20]"

My gals would love to let them sit on eggs - but not practical with my lifestyle at the moment.

Dorothy has been broody since 23rd July!!!

You really need to break her....or buy a chick or two and pop it under her. She needs to get up and get moving around. Plus, they nearly always molt after being broody (rI suspect to replace the chest feathers they plucked for the nest/to get their skin against the eggs. Want her molting soon....not in nov. when it is cold.

Thank you its a bay window seat and the natural light was just what I needed I dont think I ever appreciated just how beautiful chickens are until I got them. The variation of colors in their feathers is just stunning.

Normal math or chicken math… this is a chicken forum so… it’s a fluid concept?

You are very good at circling back.

I just can’t believe it! It’s raining here now! Temperature has dropped down and it’s pouring outside. (I realize that I caused The Whole thing, because I washed my cars today.)
