Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Yes. My chooks are my family. Allowed to be inside the house anytime they feel the need. Surprisingly, they prefer both the coop, or the house

Well I might slap you if you rubbed my belly but it does make me very drowsy, except when my legs wake me up (frustration there).

I would say both Pregabalin and GBP will become an anti anxiety med in the future. It’s already being used off label for that.

Anyways I found this for pain control in birds

Seems there is still a ton we don’t know about bird physiology.

Oh very interesting. Thank you for finding and sharing.

I’m here staring at my broken refrigerator. All the butter, cream cheese, vegetables, all gone. The imported cheeses, the Japanese mushrooms, the tofu and all the special ordered bottles of flavored oriental mixes gone. So much waste, I’m in tears! All the steaks that I prepare for my chooks, gone. Frozen vegetables and fruits I have been carefully saving, gone. The jams and jellies made specifically for me by my close friends, gone.
Only thing worse than this situation, would be a house fire that destroyed everything I have. Or taking my life in the process.

Wait. Much of that stuff is just fine out of a fridge for even a couple of days.
Butter may melt but it doesn’t go bad.
I have jams that I keep out of the fridge for years.
Even frozen veg and fruit will be fine refrozen.
Be careful with meat and seafood.
But if you cooked that up after defrosting then it is safe to refreeze.
You may not have to lose anything.

I never really tire of watching them use their staircase.

Utterly adorable.

As far as future names, I have promised Rosie one name. Poor little Poppet has been the subject of different people wanting to change her name but I have stood firm on Poppet. Mom and Grandma think she should have been a Minnie Pearl. Rosie is dying to call her Janet Jackson. Me and Rosie have a deal in place. If we are lucky enough to hatch off a pullet between Poppet and Branch we will keep 1. That chick is Rosie's and it's name will be Janet.

I like it I have an Aunt Janet so obviously I actually love it

Geez! Alex don’t go tempting the Fates

Everything can be replaced - except you and the chooks. Jams and jellies can be stored at n a cool cupboard we rarely refrigerate those items, same with condiments and sauces mixes.

It seems you are telling me it’s cold there at night, you can store items in the trunk of your car. Also if you want to keep things cool dig a pit about 18” deep put your items in there and cover with a board to keeep stuff out. This is what people did 100 yrs ago.

Shredded veggies were a big hit and allowed me to get a picture of some Fluffy Butts. Happy Friday everyone.
