Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Alex I tried with him. I do not want to give him up, but Branch to me is what Jaffar is to you. I thought the boys had worked their issues out. They had been co-existing so peacefully of late. There is plenty of space and more then enough hens for them. I do not know which boy started the fight, for all I know it could have been Branch. I do know Branch is hurt and there is a pile of feathers from both boys in the coop. I will not take a chance on another fight, I see now Twig would kill Branch if given a chance. I am also upset with Bubba. The 2 of them work together, where was he when Branch needed back-up? In the sawdust pile dust bathing like nothing at all was going on.

Tis the way of the chicken unfortunately

But so glad you were there to prevent anything more serious.

Ooooo fuzzy legs so adorable

I know that I am biased, but Beatrice is really adorable !

The little ones are starting to test each other. It will be so interesting to watch their pecking order develop.

Lovely place, and no smoke!

Do you let the chickens roam there?

Not by the ponds. Too many predators outside our fenced backyard. Eventually we want to fence around our whole property so we can let everyone have more freedom.

Update: well, she amazes me. She won’t let me catch her, and she won’t go to the coop. She’s still pretty fast, for being as sick as she was acting. ( but, she’s a Leghorn, and they are known to be crafty)
I will check them all when it’s finally sundown. Maybe she’ll be in by then?

I found her. She was under the porch. (No Chooks sleeping under the porch allowed) so I brought her back inside. She’s weak now but I feel the same way.
I really shouldn’t get too attached to these animals, but I am. I’m gonna have to look into getting some therapy for this obsession. (Jaffar is a good therapist, but he’s also part of my problem!)

Can you get her some antibiotics? Or have you done this already…?

Ok well here is hoping.
