Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ValarieF]

Its so cold out. Went and visited the chooks. Dottie jumped on me and warmed up in my lap. Took them out some corn and scratch for treats and lunch. Added more oyster shell for the girls and picked up the yard a little bit. My blood sugar is sitting at 193, correcttion my excersice and moving around got it down to 111. Gonna call the drs. and let them know whats going on.

In general, yes. They are more willing to let others scratch around while they watch. The cold shows them down. My Lilly had documented arthritis around 5 years old and was on meds for it. When it got cold and damp she slowed down.

She also hung out under cover more as she aged. I do think that could be linked to the increased prevalence of hawks but also I think to knowledge and the judgement that it wasn't worth the risk for that blade of grass.

Hattie is doing the same thing these days. She is 4 now. She is less likely to be out roaming and more likely to be hanging out in Hattie House or under the apple trees.

I agree, mine spend a lot more time just chilling under the roses than anything else. Rosie is at least 5 and the other two will be 5 in February!

That is very good news on the blood sugar.
