Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I do not care personally. I hope though that Owly ignores that decree for Rosie and sis's sake. They have their hearts set on a blue or green egg.

Next summer try for some Azur chicks

Those kiddos of mine lay the loveliest blue eggs, and they look like leghorns so a win win!

You can see her sleep standing and then with her head in her feathers

Purple cabbage will cause bright green poop. Any chance she ate some purple cabbage?

I just called the clinic and we can bring her this afternoon to have her hospitalised.
I hate doing this because the last time we did it was for Caramel and she died there after several days hospitalised, alone, without her flock. I promised myself then that I wouldn't let this happen again. But Kara is younger and she doesn't look like she is going to die yet, so maybe it's better to try and get a diagnosis as soon as possible.
It's a two hours ride..and our first day of snow today .
I really wish we had a vet who looked at chickens closer to our place. It's so difficult to make the decision whether to take them or not.

@Ponypoor she is what you looked at that was called Noirans. Marans X Harko hybrid. Seeing that she lays everyday I suppose she is a production birds.
