Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sir Sacabambaspis]

She must be eating what someone nearby me smokes, it smells revolting

Oh no, you don't mean me do you!?! I would never! It was probably the opossum!

In the past Aurora would get very little trying to control both feeding locations. Now she picks one, eats the prime pieces and then moves to the other. She is no fool.

I need to explain that to Bernie.

I need to explain that to Bernie.

She's a bright one. She'll figure it out. Meanwhile the others will enjoy the opportunities.

Hot Tubbin'

Phyllis has decided that a generic dust bath is not right for her. She needs a hot tub. So she removed all the flowers from this flower pot and now bathes in it.

No one recycles photos quite like you! Just when I think you can't reuse one, you find a way. Well done!

So, maybe you or @BY Bob or @RoyalChick would know better, but I have heard that CBD is more effective when absorbed directly through the skin and/or a mucus membrane instead of through the digestive tract, as it gets somewhat broken down when taken orally before it gets absorbed into the blood stream. I realize that it would be hard to utilize a CBD oil on a chicken ( unless it was for their feet or ankles) due to all the feathers.

however, do any of you 3 (or others )know anything about the relative efficacy for those routes versus orally? I 'heard' in a short news article or something a few years ago when cannabis became legal in MA - so was before the pandemic, and was A) wondering if it was true (seems reasonable, but who knows) and B) If so, how would you administer (either topically or in a 'nasal spray' something like that to a chicken?????????(note the double confusion on this last part!!!)

I am following the vet's instructions. I have done no research on the topic. I pay her for that.

But seriously, I have not doubted her judgement enough to research it myself. I'm also low enough on free time to not want spend it researching this topic. Sorry.

Perhaps @RoyalChick , the official FBA researcher could be persuaded to look into it for you.

Hey folks! FYI I'm on vacation and not on-line much. Just wanted to say all is well and I'll catch up when I'm back.

Have fun

Telemarketing Calls to verify my email address? Gee, I might win a sweepstakes, or a gift card, or cash. All I get from them is a waste of my time!

And a tax payment due

 

[BY Bob]

Now that makes sense. Or under the tongue maybe?

I read the French used too give treatments through the skin, the wrists I think?

But I can't see how this works on dogs and cats because they don't sweat from their body.

@BY Bob . Please update me if you know any more. I really want to preserve my old lad for as long as possible.

As I said I have relied on the vet for this treatment. I'm not sure of any mechanisms.

You still owe taxes.

The thread keeps track...........
