Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Two for Tuesday

 

[Ponypoor]

Yea the said my stomach was inflammed, I have a lesion they took a biopsy of and a few more other places they took biopsy. I have a unusually narrow esophagus so they put in a balloon because I choke easily on food and drinks. I will go over biopsy results in a month with my digestive dr. But usually I can get them ofline before then.

Sorry to hear your troubles but glad a resolution is on the way.

Tomatilla laid two eggs today

Where they normal?

I have to tell myself not to get attached to these chicks as soon as they hatch. Unless something falls through they are already sold to my sisters co-worker. Now that I said that, all 3 cochin eggs, they will hatch, be blue and all be pullets. In fact, seeing as how they should leave at just a few days old you wait and see. I will one day hear that at least 2/3rds of them end up being pullets. In the meantime, timer on the incubator just hit 2 days left. Nothing is happening right now, yet, every time I walk in the living room I stare into the viewing window for a minute or two. You know, if you stare long enough you can make yourself think you see a wiggling egg every now and then.

Well I for one can’t wait to see them hatched

I am living vicariously through you until mine arrive in a few weeks. I have been agonizing over what to do if I don’t have a bunch of broodies to raise them

Hey everyone! I haven't been on since St Pat's! I don't know how time got so far away from me. The husband is working another employee's shift right now, getting us up BEFORE the chickens. Early riser I am NOT. So I'm just operating in a fog. No telling how long this will last. I'm not happy...but we'll muddle thru. Happy Tuesday.View attachment 3447461

Was wondering where you got to

Big Day Friday

In a response to @WhoDatChick above I alluded to family challenges recently. I have decided to share. You are all so wonderful I feel I need to do so.

I will not be posting much on the flock this weekend as I am with my daughter, her husband, and my 3 month old granddaughter, Eve.View attachment 1886175
Little 7 lb Eve (the same size as Hattie) has a hole in her heart and will be having open heart surgery tomorrow around lunchtime here. If all goes well they will close the hole and she will grow up a normal little girl. The surgery has a high success rate but it's still my little grandbaby. I will post again so everyone knows the outcome but I wanted my chicken family to know.

Its been a crazy couple of months. Hopefully all goes well and things start to move forward again for us.

Oh My Gosh I guess I totally missed this when I first met you on here! I am so happy that Eve is thriving now (you know I have baby brain I should have had a dozen kids).

I obviously didn’t get this far along in your journey. I am going to make an effort to go back and read more.
