Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[GregnLety]

@GregnLety

I am so sorry to hear about her diagnosis. May her remaining time with you be longer than expected/predicted - and full of joy, absent of pain and suffering.

How old is she? I know you (well, your thoughtfulness given your animals), so I know you will give her the best care possible, and also give her dignity when it is time.

Thank you so much

Bella is about 10. She was a young adult when we got her. Lety and I had only been together a few months when we got her. Being abandoned she always craves love and attention.

We need to report this YouTuber! He is reusing these poor birds and you can see they are very stressed.

He got reported.

Sorry that I've not been on here. I hope everyone is doing okay. I'm grounded because of my grades. Sapphire is a rooster. He's getting pink around the comb and I'm seeing a little bit of wattles. It's either freezer camp or re-homing. Not sure which. I'm using the household computer right now. I still don't have my phone. I'm going to try to get my grades up soon. I won't be on here until I get my phone back, probably. Have a good day and stay safe

Good Morning fluffy butts and all.
I have a thought

I now have two roosters, Ijak and Stormfeather.

When Stormfeather grows up, I'm worried that they might fight. Currently I only have 11 hens, and Ijak has been known to handle up to 20 hens on his own. I just hope that they don't fight. Ijak has been a lovely roo in the 4 years that I have had him. He once had a very agreesive brother and they used to live together in peace until they came to my farm with the hens. They turned on each other. Ijak's brother was a formidable fighter and there were screeches and flaps and I had to separate them. Ijak lost one of his spurs. His brother had to go into the soup pot. I just don't want anything bad to any of these two as Stormfeather grows up.

What's going on here?

I just found an egg on the floor that the juveniles were leaving alone, and Onyx was in a nest. Could the juveniles be laying already? They are only 14 weeks old.

Also, a bunch of biting gnats are circling the juveniles. What should I do?

A hawk just attacked my guineas. I put all of them up but one. I don’t know where she is. She’s been pretty lethargic lately. She is Eclipse’s mom. Luckily I still have her son Russell. I might not ever free range him to keep her in my heart. RIP Madame. Fly high Maddie. I’ll miss you Mad Bird. (I’m not sure if she’s dead, but I’ve been looking for her and I can’t hear or see her. Those are all of her nicknames. Her real name is Madame Pearl. I’ve not started crying yet. I’m sad but I hardly feel it. It’s weird.)
