Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[lightm]

Hazel’s eyes got better after the first dose. She’s had three doses so far. I think her breathing sounds a little better today but I’m not sure. Popcorn is much more active than she’s been, she looks more feathered out now.

That's great to hear.

Molting Update
Here are the ladies.

Hattie and Sydney are basically done molting. Hattie just has a few wing feathers to go.

Lady Featherington is done molting her head, neck, tail, and back. But her lower body is dropping feathers like mad.

Phyllis is down to her head feathers and Aurora her beard and side burns.

Glynda has 1/2 her tail feathers out and is still dropping a few scattered feathers. Her shoulders for example.

@Marie2020
We all grieve Tina. She had been very unwell on Sunday, and passed Monday morning. Marie had just been wondering about her future with the girls, whether or not to take more chickens, or maybe let them at a wonderful place for rescues she has discovered.
So she was very worried about Princess and everyone on FBA tried to reassure her.

Fly high, Granite and Quartz. You certainly both made the most of your short lives.
Some good news : Twirp has been found. After spending some time in the house with Whiskey as a companion , she chose to be with the chickens.
Twirp is hanging out with her people. https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27293437

They look like they are nearing the end, beautiful ladies! It really is an interesting process they go through.

 

[featherhead007]

I’m just sitting out here, and the ladies decided to sit (or stand) near me. So I snapped a picture.
I was sharing my meally worms with them.

 

[featherhead007]

My only egg laying hen I have lately. The other hens are jealous of her. It’s sad

 

[Ponypoor]

It isn't better . We kept him crated for three or four days and it didn't make any difference. We have looked him over multiple times and can't figure out what is wrong. We are going to try Epsom salt soaks next.

On the positive side, his tail is up and he can actually move pretty fast in his gimpy way. He still crows and tidbits. I witnessed Regan (pullet) squat for him today and he gave it the ol' college try, but everything looked very crooked and I don't think it was successful. I am happy though that the girls still spend time with him and he doesn't seem to be depressed.

Mr P has fallen off many times

I am sure the hens laugh at him also when that happens

I like how almost all of your chickens' names are related to sweets. Like Snicker as in the Snickers bar and Ginger as in ginger snaps. Excellent photos. How I wish my chickens weren't so stubborn.
