Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

Very disrespectful and rude to be smoking around other people

The young lady next door just found out she is having another baby and can't get away quick enough as it's making her really sick.

 

[Marie2020]

Tina's having and awful time laying her egg. She had shell stuck inside her which I have removed

I decided to keep her indoors for longer now. Maybe there will be less egg laying. I've done everything with calcium and nothing is working.

 

[Marie2020]

Or whatever else he’s doing

Exactly. The way he's moving around all night makes me wonder.

 

[Marie2020]

I have a sad situation with Eli.
She lost her balance and fell off the roost in the night. This morning she is clearly having trouble walking.
I don't think she is egg bound this time.
As you can imagine I am devastated. I will swab for Marek's, it has to be considered a possibility.

Omg no

Tina is limping and having egg problems to. I pray Eli will be okay. I'm working hard to help Tina

 

[Marie2020]

Just talk to him, tell him your concerns. Zeus will understand!

Alex, you're so special

 

[GregnLety]

Oh No! Now you’re in for it hahaha it will be continuous now, right @RebeccaBoyd ?

She's more of a co broody. All 3 girls of this tribe are broody over 2 chicks,

@ChicoryBlue
Has decided on not bringing in new chicks this year, and notes that her buckeyes are not broody inclined. But, she's still interested in getting info on a breeder who has Marek's vaccinated chicks

@featherhead007 worries for his rooster Jaffar. A suggestion is made of trying to incubate chicks from him, but he is uncertain Jaffar is ever successful in "doing the deed" !

@fuentemoon :

posted a great picture of her hens on an adventure. Luckily the road is very quiet . https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-26779531

@GregnLety: had a rollercoaster week, with the loss of Big boy Goldie's roo, while she is getting better, a baby turkey breaking a wing and a puppy getting parvo.

@knoturavggrl :
-After some hesitations has set eggs under broody Marans alpha hen Brownie, with a nice original set-up : a tent in the coop.

-Henny Penny, though she has not adopted them, spends time with those littles.
The chicks and her may be housed together soon in the summer quarters, maybe with the co-broodies.
-However, Kelly informs us today that she found herself in a situation where she had to re-home the ten chicks. She will keep only the three from her own flock. https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-26791308

@ValarieF :
Posted a great cocorico video!
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-26787455
To conclude and by the way, I am thrilled to see that cocorico has become FBA's trademark expression, but I would like to remind all your roos that it is a noun, and not a verb. Le coq fait cocorico !

Thank you so much for helping, you did a lovely lovely job!

 

[GregnLety]

Is this pup getting treated?

We are treating her and she is doing quite well. She's already past the bloody diarrhea and vomiting. She's eating and drinking normally. We caught it early and got her to the vet. In a few days if she is still improving we'll get her checked again to see if she tests negative. I've not seen a pup beat parvo but I believe this girl will

 

[Marie2020]

I have a sad situation with Eli.
She lost her balance and fell off the roost in the night. This morning she is clearly having trouble walking.
I don't think she is egg bound this time.
As you can imagine I am devastated. I will swab for Marek's, it has to be considered a possibility.

I just heard that a supplement of calcium phosphorus and magnesium may help.
Just passing this potentially helpful info on and off to order some now

 

[GregnLety]

GregLety . I'm so sorry it heart breaking losing our pet's

I hope all this immense stress eases up really soon

I had Goldie outside for a while yesterday and will today also. Today I begin working on her tractor as soon as I make a side door to the guinea tractor.
