Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

So are these the same bunny killers you spoke of

Pony Sunday

The girls are having a snack in the shade of the Poplars.

A bunch of extremely noisy motorcycles just went by and all the school chicks ran/flew back to the safety of the barn

My two little indoor furry chickens

Apparently there's nothing wrong with the ceiling that had a mushroom growing out of it. I suppose all this fibre coming out of my toilet is okay too, we'll have to wait and see

Princess screaming at my neighbours, telling them how abandoned she is because she wants her mid morning/ afternoon nap

What's happening with that baby bunny? just wondering if the wee thing made it.

Yes, Snowball made it. Amora took him in and he is now doing wonderfully.

That’s splendid

I made the decision today that the Meloxicam is not enough to help Peanut live a good chickeny life. She really can't move, or doesn't want to move much, it must be too uncomfortable, and there is no promise of recovery from cancer, things will be getting worse, and quickly I think. So I'm taking her to the vets tomorrow (turns out they don't do weekend house calls). She hasn't wanted to leave the nestbox today, at least through 4 o'clock when I had to leave to work, and I don't want to leave it until she is suffering even more.

For those of you who have done this, and those who haven't, I'd appreciate your thoughts on travel companion(s) for Peanut - I brought Butters (a calm hen) with her as a companion on her treatment visit previously. Do I do that again, with Butters, or maybe everyone, so there's less loss of company on the return trip, or take her there by herself, with no one (which doesn't seem right as far as how I did it last time)? And then later, if she is in a box, maybe, put her somewhere in the run back home, where they can see her, say goodbye, or know she has died? Or is it better for them if she just disappears and doesn't leave the box?

Sounds like a moisture issue. To keep the mold, and fungii at bay you can spray with a 10% solution of bleach and water.

And wipe I’d down afterwards.
