Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Instead of try to explain it I'll show it to you. A broody Ducky off the nest. Once you witness it first hand, you will never fail to recognize a broody hen again.

Hmmm. I am fearful. It is not impossible. But she was so sick. Unable to walk. Just coincidence?

Instead of Pooh, there is Tigger, Kanga or Roo.

True.

I don’t get this temperature thing at all. My little ones are 18 days old. So just a few days short of three weeks.
According to everything people post they are supposed to be at 84 degrees (F).
The temperature in the Chicken Palace right now is 58F.
How come they aren’t cold. I don’t think they would be so energetic if they were suffering so I am not too worried.
But I am a bit worried!

BUFF ORPINGTON!!!!!!!! Okay, I just love Orpingtons! Philomena reminds me of Daisy.

Is Daisy the chicken in your profile photo?

Baby chicks- How am I going to get them home alive?

I am at Peavey Mart right now (tsc in the US) and they have light sussex, brown leghorn, barred plymouth rock, and some leghorns and something else. I am getting 4 plymouth rock chicks
I've got a problem however they only provide a box and NO food or water. It's really hot (28 c) and I don't want them to die. I am going to buy a waterer, and I have a feeder at home, and I'm also picking up chick starter.
But they are most likely going to die of *maybe* heat exhaustion, because my car is dark blue.
Anyways I am really excited to pick up my box of peepers.

As long as they know the heat is there, I think they should be fine. They know so much more about being chickens than we do.

Kelly, I’m glad your eye is doing better. My eye took three days to heal from the peck I had from Xzit when she was little.

Wow that’s a bad eye peck! Did you see a dr? My big worry was whatever germs the little Pecker introduced to my eye! All that sh!t they are pecking around in! Horses, chickens, barn swallows….
