Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Yes and if wishes were horses as they say

And my dad once told me: “the definition of a horse show is, a bunch of horses showing their azzes to a bunch of horses azzes, showing their horses!

 

[Ponypoor]

Nope. Not until very near the end.

She was a very opinionated hen and she loved to go deep into the long grass to find things. The way I see it, she got two more summers of safari in the long grass.

I did some excavation in my email in box and I found a receipt for enrofloxacin dated a day or so after Maggie's vet appointment where I took her back home and rejected the offer of euthanasia. So I think it is likely that I did treat her the first time with Baytril (=Enrofloxacin).

I had also forgotten Maggie had hardware disease as a complicating factor. She had eaten a couple of screws and a washer!

I remember that ! It was when I first came on FBA

I enjoyed the social aspect, but then it became very political and the snobbery was ridiculous. I do not miss it at all.

Turkey talk tax
Mr P yesterday - he had to sit facing into the wind as his tail kept getting him toppled over haha

 

[rural mouse]

Yup, that’s a Labrador Retriever in his glory! Even if the water’s only six inches deep and one foot wide. I like how he cleared out the dead grass to get a better assessment of the situation in there. Any chance you can take him to some real water in the summer?

That's the plan. Going to work on getting him IN it....probably have to put myself in it, but.....

A study comparing human and fish amoxicillin: basically the same med.

I miss that girl. She was my buddy.
She really loved the long grass. I remember she was always leading expeditions into the undergrowth!
But she always ran out to come tell me all the latest news and gossip.

Popped in to say hi - his granddaughter was visiting and while fishing caught a 19” Bass - good catch! Greg’s friend is recovering and Greg sent him home with 3 pullets to add to his Roos flock (a Cholo son).

Wow those are great Bass!

Sure has beautiful vistas, and even though the snow is not welcome it is beautiful (go away snow!).

And of course her chicks are growing like weeds!

Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

I love seeing RM’s beautiful flock and the vistas in the background rival those of ManueB’s , I also get a kick out of seeing Sherlock and his antics.

It’s been quite the drama with wee Perry not laying normal eggs, is she being bullied or is some other issue.

Bad weather has caused some damage to the outdoor runs, ice build up has put stress on the metal frames, and look at how thick that ice is.

Also Hazel seems just a bit off, nothing to put a finger on though.

Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

Look at these adorable chicks CB saw at the local feed store! And what a novel housing complex for the chicks.

Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

BB has been awarded a Premium Membership it seems, now everyone needs to offer suggestions for a new title after her name.

Look at Hattie launching herself! She’s a rocket not an eagle!

Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

And just look at this lovely egg from Glynda, such a lovely blue, and of course most importantly no further soft eggs.

Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

Bob gave some suggestions for slowing down egg production to try to get a shells to form on the egg, seems Ponypoor’s Petunia is still laying soft eggs.

Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

A blast from the past with he beautiful Patsy

Gave a wonderful update of happenings in her neck of the woods- sheep, lambs, LGD, chickens….. gorgeous scenery - what more could we ask for!

Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

Sally PB

——————

Wow 18 eggs in a row ! That is some pullet!

Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

Her pullet Pip is also laying soft eggs - what’s with all these pullets laying soft eggs?

Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

A conversation started up on the use of Thyroxine (thyroid meds) to improve egg shell quality - and down the rabbit hole she went investing that.

Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

And an article that was found refuting thyroxin as being of any use.

Rebecca popped in to give an update on her grandma, who is now in a coma, the family continues to care for her as she makes her journey from this life.

Poppet the Silkie princess has been free ranging with the big girls and thriving - still no egg though!

Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

And isn’t Poppet adorable

Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

Is she or isn’t she Branch’s girl?

Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

Seems Poppet is a bit of a tyrant and has chased the poor moggy, Keeper up a tree.

And in other news Rebecca’s grandma is still with her, please continue with thoughts and prayers for her Grandmas quiet passing.

Oh no poor sir Jaffar is feeling poorly, the vet suggested bread soaked in some antibiotics and soft food to see he is tempted to eat.

You’re amazing, how good of you to look into those emails for us.

Hardware disease!!
