Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Yesterday, Chukki jumped up on my lap and I thought to myself,"What is that warm liquid running down my leg? Oh lovely, runny poop!!

Thirty seconds later, Beatrice jumped up and plop, dropped one on my shorts!!

Oooo nothing says we luvs ya mum like gooey poop!


Sounds like you’re having fun with them

Haha thats too funny!

Eep! I just realised that I went from "Crowing," to "Free Ranging!"

Okay, I feel bad for you people...
I have a really bad mite and lice situation in my flock. I have scaly mites, lice, and possible two other types if mites. I will try to get pictures (using my moms phone) tomorrow. I am going to buy a bunch of stuff to kill them. I did my research, but if anyone wants to throw what I need out there, I will take it.
Also, BBQ is doing just fine. Her foot looks a bit better already.

Dusting powder for your coop and run, no sense treating if they get reinfected.

Ivermectin to treat lice and mites. I bought the liquid stuff I give the horses, I can get it in a syringe for dosing one horse (liquid not paste), and then did the math for how much a chicken gets.

You will need to retreat in 14 days. And re-dust the coop and run.

You can do a search on BYC for dosing of ivermectin. Added benefit is your chooks get wormed.

With the heat index well over 100 on a daily basis, we added more ventilation to Cholo's house.

There they are, in all their glory, Eenie's future babies.

Got lucky and she was off the nest when we got there. We gave the others a little treat and locked them in the run, hoping she'd come out. I don't know if she was out already, but she was still darn happy to get the oats and peanut butter I mixed up to tempt her out. She didn't say much as I put the eggs in the nest, but I think she was enjoying some dinner and a lot of water. When we let the others back in she skedadled back to the nest.

She looked healthy enough I guess. She's always been my littlest lady, so I hope she does okay. Something odd...her head looked kind of wet. I took the best picture I could. Not sure what that white speck is. Could be dirt...She's not amenable to being caught and inspected.

I've decided. My incubator is being turned on tomorrow to run for 24 hours. I feel safer incubating these eggs myself. If the incubator does not work they will go to Perdita. I will probably let Perdita raise them after they hatch.
