Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

How many times a day does she get the pain meds? Can you do it at night when you're home (I thought your job is a local day job not a travel one?)

It is, but I have to go to another location 2hrs from here for the week. Mum will once again do my chores; so I am hoping that Red will be ok, and of course mama and baby. I put a camera in their crate to keep any eye on them. The babies were out and about all day, and mama was up and about also, I saw the one chick drinking on its own and showed them both were the water is. They should be fine.

Henny sleeping, babies all tucked under I am sure

 

[Ponypoor]

How many times a day does she get the pain meds? Can you do it at night when you're home (I thought your job is a local day job not a travel one?)

I have been doing Tylenol twice a day (7 and 7) and aspirin at 4pm.

Tonight we wrapped the 1/2 aspirin in some bread and she gobbled it up - she is good motivated.

We will go and try liquid Tylenol soaked in bread when I do night chores. Hopefully she gobbles this also!

 

[Ponypoor]

OK so you do have to travel? I wonder if the vet can come out while you're away, if that has to happen this week?

Gosh! Look how much they have grown! I was marvelling at how my chicks need a bra hahahaha - their little crops are full.

It sure doesn’t take them long does it!

Peekaboo! Armpit baby haha!

 

[Ponypoor]

I don't see any chickybirds out there in the run!

I'll be making them something to snack on here in a bit, but they were not happy about coming out this morning!

Enjoy!

Nice here today!

I actually got 10 hens out of that one but man it was hard!
When I dove into chickens as pets I learned what I could about the breeds I wanted. I still have a few bucket list breeds but I doubt I will see most of them!
If I win the lottery I want a pair of shoe Phoenix. And they will have a room in the house with yard access because if I have the money to get them, I should be able to cut a hole in the wall lol. Here is the king of the Fuzzballs- Cream. He has found that screaming one note is way better than a crow that takes 3. View attachment 3691932

you say Cream … or Scream

 

[Sally PB]

Peekaboo! Armpit baby haha!

So cute! Chicks peeking out from mom... 15 on the scale of 1 to 10 for cuteness.

 

[BeastBaby]

Did that chicken just peck that poor dog through the fence?

Yes! Goes to show you I should have invested in hardware cloth

Egg / chick update

There are two! And yes the one will be a frizzle. It seems to be the seeker of the two, even though it was born first. Will keep an eye on her.

Both only have 4 toes so no silkie toes, I think they both have leg feathers but not for sure, but I didn’t want to keep them from mama too long it’s cold here.

And both are white! So I am glad the one is frizzle so I can tell them apart haha!

All her chooks are moulting, I think they look lovely, and her wee cockerel Tres will be eye candy when grown

Mr P had a skin/ear infection that was dealt with using oral and topical antibiotics, along with some Tylenol for pain relief. He is doing well now.

Poor Sophia, moulting when it's so chilly.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27317843

Babe, one of Sophia's Hoover Hatchery chicks laid her first egg - such an odd colour!

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27319692

Henny Penny's chicks started hatching, first up is the Curly egg.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27328707

And the second egg has hatched - another white chick. Good job Henny Penny.

ChicoryBlue
--------------

CB and BeastBaby were comparing notes and thoughts on coop/run setups, I love both their setups, lots of trees and intersting places to investigate for the chooks.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27317506

Explained the use of a Treadle Feeder.

Posted a very interesting article on ear/throat infections in chickens - thanks, great article!

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27319141

Awww - that one tail feather looks lonely.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27322815

This is a really good suggestion to protect locks and latches around the coop/run/barns.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27326266

There was a discussion surrounding predators when one of Sally PB's neighbour's lost 2 chooks.

Pastel the Rooster

PtR showcased their lovely chooks, and her chicks have grown to be lovely 'almost' adults. Such pretty chooks.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27317538

Will be buying or building a new coop for some new chooks they will be getting, an ongoing discussion on pros and cons of different coops was very interesting.

There was a bit of a scare when a dog got onto his property, he chased the dog away and none of his chooks was injured.

Was worried about Sylvie, and her losing feathers on her neck - seems concensus is that Sylvie is going through a bit of a moult after her broody bout. Gosh she's a beauty.
