Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Saturday Synopsis 5/4-5/10

- By-Bob had a humourous encounter with his Lady Featherington and some sushi - Lady F grabbed a whole sushi chunk and scarfed it back in one glutch down the gullet! His description was hilarious!
He has been super busy at work and could not be a scribe for Aurora on Wednesday.
Hattie is laying again. Link to the picture.

- RoyalChick was worried about Eli, who had a very odd-looking poop one day. She was on poop duty the next day, and all seems ok now - maybe something she ate...?
She is also looking into getting some chicks to strengthen her flock. She has been researching breeders in her area; she is keen on getting black-colored hens.
She also continues having Eli and Babs fly onto the rafters to roost at night. Time will tell if that continues!

-Featherhead007 had a bit of a scare when his gateway was opened, and he 'sort of' misplaced 3 of his ladies. Thank you, Jaffar, for saving the day! (Alex, I hope you finally gave him some steak!)
Hen Hen-Rietta has a sore on her foot that Alex is treating - We hope she will be fine.

- RebeccaB posted about her marshmallow chicks roosting, but mama Chiquita wanted them in their nest with her.

- Kris had a run-in with an eagle; from what I can gather Sammy got a torn earlobe from attacking the eagle, but Little Sister has a severe wound on her back. Kris is waiting to see what her Husband thinks about the wound

Kris reported that her 'Eagle Girl' seems ok; we will follow this closely to ensure it stays that way.
Kris' Little Sister, who had the run-in with the eagle, is doing fine - yay!

- Micstrachan dropped in to post some fantastic photos of her gals; sorry to hear she is again ill with evil covid. Also, her lovely Little Mill's limp is getting worse, and her belly is swollen.

News with Micstrachan is that she has an order in for some chicks end of March/beginning of April - I, for one, can't wait to see them!

- Ponypoor is heading home (yay!), so she will be offline for a few days. She will try to give an update each night.

-Pastel is sick with a cold and home from school, and her pullet laid her first egg to make her feel better. The link is to the egg picture.

I am not going to be able to talk all that much today. I have a horse show on Lenny. Its my first show on him, and the nerves are kicking in. I'm almost at the show grounds, and then I need to get all of the stalls ready. I will get lots of pictures for you all! Wish me luck!!

Good luck!

No pics today maybe some old ones. I got really sick this morning and vomited all over thank god my hubby is home on the weekend he had to feed the chooks and give them treats. I miss my chooks but Im to weak to walk out there.

 

[BY Bob]

Not sure when they hatched. We got them fully feathered in August. Here's a picture of what they looked like then. The farmer wasn't sure how old they were. I'd love an educated guess. This was August 23, 2022.View attachment 3428478

They look about 6 weeks old in that picture.

 

[BY Bob]

I think they look about 6 weeks old. Were they brooder raised or broody hen raised? I think the broody hen raised tend to feather out quicker. Maybe 8 weeks at the oldest.

I obviously agree.
