Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

WHAT THE BLEEP???



How did Mrs Clean-egg get Peronitis??
Today she wasn't herself, just sitting in the corner doing nothing. Both she and I knew it was her time, but I don't have the gut to do the processing so I called my friend that obviously has a stronger gut. The worst part was that I had to hold her legs while my friend processed.

Anyway, I had come across @ManueB's thread about her hen Caramel, that from what I believe died of peronitis as well. So when I saw that burst yolk ALL over her insides, I knew.
She had a LOT of water inside her, and those burst yolks. Little to no feed in her crop.

Oh I am so sorry.
That is tough. At least she is no longer in pain.

Camera tax - midday resting right now under the coop and veranda. I’d like to put a camera under there too!

Ruth also sends her apologies that she didn't wish everyone a happy Monday earlier. Heros sends his regrets. (Heros is one of my bunnies)

I'm sorry this happened to poor Mrs. Clean-egg. It does seem to be a common ailment, which is a terrible thing. You can be sure though that you did the right thing having seen that, and there isn't another way except to let her die naturally, but in extended, terrible pain and suffering. I'm sorry you have gone through this in the first place.

Wow I would be terrified if I were Bernie

Ok so my EE's hatched, but for some reason some of them have feathered feet like this:

I will pay two taxes so that I have less tax to pay later. I was out of tax pictures so I need a lot of catching up. Lets start with mugs.

That's Up The Wall giving me the stink-eye for taking pics of her butt.

Aaand
Rosilia pecking the camera when I was crouching down for a butt. I actually had a whole gaggle of chickens including Mabel, Sally, Knockalina, and Rosilia.

Probably a dumb question, but why do you need to mow the grass? I mean why can’t it just be left alone to grow.

Just had Welcome to the Jungle play in my mind

I don’t mow the grass in the paddocks generally, but around the house and pedestrian areas, and living areas I maintain the lawns.

Today my niece and her coworker came by to dig out some stumps, and they drove out back with the Dodge 3500, and trailer and a small excavator - in the process tearing up the lawns and making ruts.

Not that I am not extremely appreciative of them digging out the stumps and smoothing out some piles of dirt. But riding the lawn tractor over those ruts is brutal now!

Next time it rains I will run the tires of the lawn tractor over the ruts to pack them down.

Through all this the chooks were freaked out and stayed in the barn, and then the mamas decided enough was enough and put themselves to bed

Curly on alert, the chicks doing their thing

And would someone please tell Rico to stop roosting on my lawn chair.

Means he's been watching his Daddy and learning to be a GOOOOOD boy! At the moment, he's a keeper.

But I was told to keep a silkie! At this rate I will have gobs of Roos running around!
