Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Chiquita's chicks are 6 weeks old. I'm very confident the mix is a pullet. Hoppy the silkie, I have no clue. At this point I feel like I should call Hoppy a boy and hope to be proven wrong. Rosie finally gave the mix chick a name.
I present to you all, Goose.

Hahaha too funny!

My friends were amused by this picture. He's a funny little character, people that don't like his sort of breed usually fall for him even 2 nervous postmen that's afraid of dogs find him adorable and chat with him while they come to my door.

One postman got bitten by a few dogs but he never rushes past my old guy or tries to avoid him in any way.

I took a 2nd dose last night and I slept until a few minutes ago. Chickens gave me the angry eye for being late feeding them but I got everyone done. My head is fine and I feel rested and not sore or dizzy. I feel good this morning.

What happened? I'm reading back but can't find out what happened with your head???
Are you okay?

 

[BY Bob]

Ok reading back to see what happened here, you NEED TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.

I am sure Mrs By Bob will tell you this also (she is also a Nurse). Head injuries are not to be trifled with. At all. Period. Had friend who just banged his head in the shed, didn’t lose consciousness and a couple weeks later he had a seizure - he had a subdural hematoma. Surgery to drain relieve pressure of brain.

The cook at the cafe at work slipped fell in his driveway in the winter, again didn’t lose consciousness but month later seizure - another hematoma - surgery….

You need to get this checked Please

Yes she would agree. I hope to read further on that she was seen.

I do feel better. Just the normal Central Valley nasal congestion.

Happy to hear that.

Im back. Yes I passed out and fell and hit my head so hard my hubby heard a loud thud and I woke with a headache. Had to take some aspirin to get rid of it. (yay spell check)

As Bob has said get too a medical advisor ASAP. This us serious

I'll be looking for updates. Please don't leave this too long

i got dizzy and blacked out and hit my head on the floor, my hubby watched it all and was here it was a few seconds. I have a bruised head but I'm ok. I am calling the dr tomorrow to get checked and taking it easy. My hubby wont let me do anything except normal light chicken stuff.

Oh that Maran so far he is truly a fine product of their breeding program. He screams I am a boy in looks but is gentle, quiet, and calm. He reminds me of a chicken version of a Friesian or Clydesdale.

The other Roo is also beautiful but very different in personality. He is all up in everyone’s business alert and bold as brass.

We shall see how it plays out. They are both welcome to stay if they can be gentle to us and the girls. I actually need and want them as I plan to free range at least part time.

For now I am exceedingly grateful for my luck in ratio of boys to girls as so far it looks like I have no one that HAS to be given away or become supper.

I'm happy to hear you love that Marans boy, if he continues to behave before long you will have a very handsome big boy. I have heard of "bad" boys in the breed, but, I have been fortunate to be blessed with big lovable sweethearts. It is a good thing too, due to their size I would not be able to keep a bad boy around with all the children in the neighborhood.
