Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I think the anconas are gonna lay soon. They lay white eggs

Italian breed of chicken - very exotic!

She is very pretty for sure!

@ValarieF post some of the past baby photos so PtR (and me too) can enjoy them - I need my baby fix!

Thank you for thinking of me

Oh thank gawd the electrics back. Locked the chooks up for the night.

I just put my birds in and fed my chickens. I pet Bolt while she was eating, and I noticed her opening her mouth and making weird noises. I snatched her up. I am pretty sure she was choking ( can chickens choke?) I rubbed her throat with force, but making sure I was not hurting her. It only helped a little so I started gently squeezing her abdomen. I think I was squeezing her breast. It scared me, but I was talking to her to keep her calm. If she wasn't choking, what else could it have been? She got better when I squeezed her and rubbed her throat more.

What sort of noise? Is she still making it?

Awwww babies

Thanks! I am missing my kiddos and their dramatics today makes me worry - appreciate seeing babies to get my mind off them

Losing the power sucks! We have a generator so the furnace and water in the house works, and I can get water at the barn for the horses and chickens.

It's sad that they have to grow up - they are so cute as chicks

I thought that too. On my second batch of pullet chicks, I realized that they are cute and curious the whole time they are growing up. And then they become beautiful. And lay eggs.

It was a wheezing noise. I put her down when she stopped. She was not making the noise when I went to say goodnight (it was the same trip)
