Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Pastel the Rooster]

I'm sorry to hear that

Thanks. It’s weird. I’m sad but it’s physically impossible to cry right now. When I saw the hawk overhead and only saw four guineas I started shaking. My entire body was trembling with fear, shock, and horror. Yet now I am just trying to ignore it. My mom keeps telling me that she might be in the bushes doing Guinea stuff. It’s about a 10 percent chance of that.

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?

Wouldn’t be the young chicks. I don’t think that it’s possible physically for them to start laying.

Well, I should probably get off of my phone before my mom sees me. I might charge my old phone and keep it hidden. I’m not sure. I really hope that everyone has a good day, and I’ll keep y’all updated.

Ok.

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

Study hard youngster! School is a necessary thing !

 

[Ponypoor]

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.)View attachment 3637019View attachment 3637020View attachment 3637021

Are you sure? Hope she is just hiding somewhere.

@Gigachad poultry
Is stressing out about over-population of the aviary birds. Not really chicken news, but an important lesson about managing reproduction of our pets. https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27174726

Has been a bit stressed about Nieva's visit to the vet for bumblefoot, and her little Laure who is having trouble at roosting time. https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27169563

@Pastel The Rooster
Sadly lost Madame Pearl, one of her Guineas. to a hawk. There is a possibility she is still alive, but we may have to wait for news as Pastel cannot log on here as much as she has to focus on her school grades. https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27179653

@RebeccaBoyd

Thanks RC! This will be helpful when I can get in here and not need to be sneaky.
