Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I feel like this is a monumental moment. I caught up to the present and made it through all the posts from the beginning of this thread. What a wonderful journey and what a wonderful exchange of knowledge. There is heartbreak, alot of laughter, many touching moments and through it all so much love for chickens and all animals but also for each other. By Bob started a wonderful thing here all those years ago. I hope it continues for many more to come.

Wow! I am always impressed when someone does this. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Well, @BY Bob I would like to start by pleading my innocence… I didn’t start either the Goat or the Duck chat this time! And as I mentioned, Tax photos are a little lacking right now due to feathers Everywhere and because I’ve been working on the house so much. I’ll try tomorrow, promise. Until then… May I introduce the newest additions here? Water chickens. I am now the proud mama to Seven water chickens “stick” “foghorn” “latte” “sassy” “fancy” and the two white ones are still pending names. Latte the brown female, hatched everyone else out and is four years old!

Ducks too. Oh Kris is there no animal you won't take under your wing? I hope they are tons of fun for you!

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.

I'm so sorry. I am glad that she was enjoying the chicken life right to the end. I'm so glad Bubba was with her at the end. She was a spectacular lady. Diasy's always touch our hearts.

Would anyone have any idea on how I can stop my cat from grooming? I've looked at the cone and seen a ring and don't know which is best. Cat's are so awkward but I love him

He's had these continuous scabs and no matter how I have tried this still remains. So too be sure I have ordered a harsh treatment that I'm seriously worried about using. But now I have to stop him from licking and grooming and keep him indoors until this is mites or rash has healed.

Praying someone here has an idea

My dog also had similar but washing oil and essential oils did the trick. This has been done with my cat but always returns

The cone worked good with my Isabel. Her issue was fleas. Once we had her treated everything settled down again but she had licked herself bald.
