Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Kris5902]

It is with great sadness that I announce the peaceful passing of my beloved Daisy. I had no warning as honestly she has had a great month in truth. Today I saw her dust bathing, bullying her way to more then her fair share of dried cherries and picking on Twiggy. I went out at dark to make sure everyone was roosted and do a final egg check when I found Bubba snuggled up beside her. She was still warm so she could not have been gone long as I had went out back to dump out some leftovers a hour prior and she was scratching around. I have her body wrapped up and in a box and will bury her in the morning. I will admit to feeling angry and cheated that she was only 2 1/2 years old and not a high production breed, yet I've lost her to presumed tumor in her reproductive tract.
Rest in peace my sweet girl. I hope where you are now there endless minnows and young snakes for you to eat.

So sorry for your loss, she must have gone very peacefully for Bubba to stay near her. She was a lovely hen.

Depending on how your cat reacts, is the most important thing I tried a soft cone with Bullet and that didn’t work at all (she was scratching her chin aggressively and it became infected) I ended up needing a hard plastic one but that was a slightly different issue than what you seem to be having.

Thank you for your input

I'm so very pleased and greatly relieved to say, this problem has been solved. But I will be looking to purchase a cone eventually as he will need one at some point, same said for my dog because he's needed one on several occasions.

My biggest problem is trying way too hard to avoid chemicals of any kind and I'm constantly being reminded that it's not always going to bennifit my animals...

In this case washing up liquid worked amazingly well, I mixed it with organic liquid soap, fresh lemon juice and bicarbonate. Rash or whatever this was has completely disappeared.

He'll be having another bath soon even if he tells me off then sits on my lap soaking wet .

I fell asleep about 7pm last night. Hubby woke me at 10 to take my medicine then I went back to sleep until 3am. Had to catch up on reading. Poor Princess I hope she feathers soon.

Did your family find somewhere else to stay?

RC, they went back to Florida, to start house reconstruction.

Slightly different processing, I’m basically talking about a lump of meat, fat, and bones, fresh

I dated her once! God I’m rude sometimes !

OMG, this is awesome!

I’m pretty sure that they won’t let me in heaven after all the crazy jokes that I throw around here on BYC!

And then you have some people here, who literally are feeding only scratch and a handful of pellets. The exact opposite of your example and there are three separate people doing this…

I’m guilty of it! But I’m trying to change.
