Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

A little question, is pearl barley good for chickens?

I do t see why not just a very small amount - treat it like scratch grain - mine has corn oats and barley in it. A tablespoon between them both is enough I would say.

Thank you for getting back but...

I have a feeling her kidneys are the problem. I'm battling with myself on how to ease this

One picture makes her eye look strange but that's just the capture with the sun.

I am concerned her movements/poops have not normalised

Not only did we lose power yesterday, but the storm damaged my coop. Dangit! Just needs to last until next year when we'll look at building one!!! Grrrr!


All the chicky birds are fine though! And it is nice and dry inside the coop. I think I'll wrap the run during the week. If we get a couple dry days in a row I'll rake up our soft pine needles and store them for the nest boxes.

Tail is up. Usually a good sign.

What a pain.
You could patch that if it just needs to last a season.
I was planning to collect pine needles this weekend too - but it is a nasty wet soggy day so that plan is on hold.

Princess seems to survive at all the odds stacked against her.

I've just washed some grit to spread around and put ordinary pellets in their feed tray

I've ordered more cage sand with oyster shells to add into their run
