Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Thank you, Bob. Her ascites was causing her difficulty breathing. An avian vet was unable to draw off much fluid and it was likely she had cancer. She was declining somewhat rapidly, so I had her euthanized.I did not want her to suffocate.

I'm really sorry . I'm sure that's what killed Agatha. It's a horrible disease

I have a problem. I am afraid it is a snake problem which is just great. Blueberry has lost 3 of her chicks in the last 2 days. No bodies discovered, no alarms from any of the chickens and she is not fazed at all. Due to the locations she has been taking her chicks I suspect either a snapping turtle or a snake. Leaning towards snake as I think a turtle issue would raise alarms in some of the flock. I also have been having eggs go missing from the nest on top of the hay pile. I cannot blame that on the egg eating cochins, they cannot get their fat butts up there. Last night I placed 3 golf balls in that nest if it is a snake he is in for a unwelcome surprise. Now, up until this point me and mom have had a agreement I would NOT kill a black snake. I'm on a mission, a black snake hunting mission. If I find it, relocating will not be a option. I will live with a black snake as long as it does not get into the house. I will even loose a few eggs to one, but if it is a chick killer it has crossed the line.

I'd be saying what old Henry the eighth said. "OFF WITH HIS HEAD" . but I'm not as sweet as you are

It is Twofer-Tuesday
And here are the BFFs Maggie and Diana. I hope Diana doesn’t take Maggie’s loss to hard. She does seem to get on OK with Bernadette.

Dance 3 days out of the week, etc.

I'm writing up Gucci's story. So far it is a 3 page word document. I will post it once it's done. Don't expect anything until next weekend at the earliest. I need to do a tribute post but it's hard right now.

In some ways it was better that Mrs BY Bob wasn't here.

If it’s too sad don’t feel like you need to do anything that will make you feel worse. We all understand, I understand, I am just honoured to have been part of her and your life during her short time with you

Don't forget my teepee

It will have to be an RV

Well I look at this way, there are plenty of fish in the sea

Well I hope that particular fish gets eaten by a shark

It will have to be an RV

It's okay, Alex will set it all up for me and his Jaffar will drive

Is everyone's chickens dying/ getting killed?!

No, it’s just that we all have many of them, and many are getting older. It’s a game of odds

How are yours doing?
