Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

I’m debating bringing Jaffar back inside tonight. He had a cough and sniffles today. But he did a great job with the ladies all day in the rain.

I wonder what that dog and chicken are talking about whatever it is the other adorable guy doesn't look impressed

Gorgeous dogs by the way ❤

Those 2 have a history. Nino considers himself a chicken whisperer so he tests all the young roosters.

I have brought him inside. Maybe a steamy bathroom with eucalyptus oil might be helpful. I will be careful not to give him a chill.

Hopefully someone else has seen this and responded. However, she might be egg-bound. Sometimes, if the egg isn't far enough down for the vagina to start turning inside out and blocking off the intestinal track...the force of the contractions can squish some poo out. cecal poo looks yellowish.

Can you feel and egg there? Gently lift her/hold her, and feel abdomen..and, with a lubed finger...if you aren't sure with the feeling the abdomen, insert one finger into her cloaca. If she is egg bound, you should feel the egg with your finger going in 1' at most. If she is egg bound, sometimes a warm 'sitz bath' and some gentle lubing around egg/cloaca may help. Also, if she is egg bound, try to give her some calcium. (mashed tums made into a slurry with water is a start. @RoyalChick or @Kris5902 and/or @BY Bob can probably give more specific assistance and or other suggestions if she isn't egg bound.

If Peanut can make it until morning I will give her two halves of a pill as @RoyalChick has described, and I have epsom salts and could soak her in warm water too. How do you do a moist heating pad?

I just went out there now with plain homemade yogurt mixed with calcium powder (higher concentration than usual), and Peanut was immediately very interested in it. Popcorn took a taste and Butters, too, but Peanut ate it non-stop for a long while. This was notable because Popcorn is usually all over it (Peanut too).

When Peanut was done and wouldn't eat more I put the dish aside and felt all their crops. Peanut's was like a smooth fairly firm golf ball, I worried about it, but then discovered it was exactly like Butters'. Popcorn's was smaller and a bit lumpy and more moveable, and Hazel's more squishy but also like a golf ball. Popcorn probably doesn't get as much food unless she eats when others aren't around, I often see Hazel making it her business, going out of her way, to police her.

I felt Peanut's abdomen between her legs, and everywhere between her ribs to her butt felt smooth and very pliable and soft, no lumps in there or firmness or stretched out skin, and it didn't feel bigger or different than I've felt before.

I looked at her vent and felt around it, it was all fairly soft, but she definitely did not like me touching or pressing around it, she made noises and tried to move away. The whole vent area looked bigger and outwardly rounder than I recall, but I did trim a bunch of feathers away this evening. I could see when it pulsed the inner part there, her vagina? would bulge and come outward some. I didn't want to stick my gloved finger in there thinking it would introduce something infectious. I didn't bring lube out there (went out before you posted @bgmathteach) and I'm sorry I wasn't thinking very clearly. I will try in the morning.

Hazel wouldn't try the yogurt and was pretty vocal the whole time, though she made her excitable "there's food around" noises, she was also objecting. She said it was highly irregular for me to disturb them all with my red light and feelies and the yogurt treat did not make it okay. She's going to report it to the union first thing in the morning.

I hope she can make it until morning and I'll set up a spa inside and get a pill into her. I don't feel I can do very well for her now, the thing is I'm exhausted, partly from hip pain today, and I need to go to bed.

Is waiting endangering Peanut? I am thinking or maybe hoping I can help her in the morning better? Is this something I should try to get it together and do a late night, am I being selfish? My head is swimming....

Glad you had some rain your way.

Looks like it’s greening up a bit there

I was a bit perplexed with that last photo, trying to figure out what was coming out of the brown Roos butt…. First the white tail feathers had me confused… then the head from ‘the butt’….
