Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

A half low dose aspirin twice a day should help her limping and if she is molting help her feel better.

I'll see if I can get a baby aspirin to help.

She laid a shell less egg this morning, now I'm worried

Afaf unfortunately died during a pregnancy, she has a uterine artery tear

I'm so sorry Kelly

Lover was her last foal

Give that foal loads of love and attention. It'll make you both feel a little better

Sad tax to make us smile

It’s an egg hunt here daily now, these where hiding behind my wheelbarrow in some straw.

One of those is Fluffy’s! What a brat!

Mugs Monday

I have no current mugs as I was busy all day - my uncle was up again and we worked on my office/feed room.

But here are some BFTP pics from last December 2022

Would you believe this...

They have posted this probiotic, there was no one in the shop to assist me because they didn't put any instructions in at all, only my receipt with my name and phone number. So I just chose another option on calling back. I was then informed it's a powder that apparently you cannot freeze.

The lady on the phone did her very best too help me by asking her colleague. I was told I have to use 2 and a half mil of water to 2 and a half grams of powder and use a syringe to get it to her and Princess.

So they won't provide smaller amounts and charged me £23 pounds for my two chickens, as it's supposed to be for 15 birds. It's such a waste knowing that this probiotic cannot be preserved

Stress or what , worrying about Tina and spending money I just cannot afford to lose like this.

The bushes that Light is standing in front of look like nasturtiums. Do they have scarlet red flowers?

I wish I could grow bushy nasturtiums. No, they are elephant ears. They grow very tall every summer.

I'm waiting until I can get some support or should i say thoughts in here before I throw this probiotic away

So I'm here today to give one of the saddest announcements to everyone here and to all my friends I've made on this thread and to everyone on this website. This pains me more than anything I've ever had to deal with, but after a long and painful amount of arguing with my mom we've decided to sell off most of my beloved hens and roosters... My mom has said that she is and I quote:



So I can only now have five hens and one rooster. I'm so sad and through this arguing and plan making I'm crying at just even the thought of selling me loved hens. I love them so much and they all feel like family and now I must say goodbye to most of them.

I'm now deciding who will stay with my flock and who will go and these are some of the hardest things I've had to do. I know for a fact I will be keeping Susan and Eda, but I don't know who else. I'm Aldo trying to decide between my two beloved boys Buff Buck and Darcy.

We are planning on using the money from selling them to get a metal horse trailer and that way we will solve the biggest problem, the wood mites that have absolutely invaded our flock and wooden coop! I'm saying this to mainly you all because I don't really have many other people who like or want to talk about chickens.

Oh I am sorry. That must be heartbreaking. Hopefully you find homes for them all.

Well don’t throw it all away - at least use it until you don’t need it any more.

I am so sorry to hear this. No doubt you will have hard decisions to make on who to stay, but at least you get to improve your coop and solve the mites problem.

Do you have SNOW over there?!!

Hahaha nope not yet, might have frost this weekend though.

Those photos are from last December. I was busy yesterday as my uncle was here helping me with some work in the barn, so didn’t have time to chase down chooks for photos

So I did a BFTP (blast from the past) photo.
