Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Roses would be a great fortress, Peonies are great, but don’t last very long, and here first big rainfall and the petals fall off.

Lady at the feed store said Betty looked like a Peonie

I checked a couple spots that used to be wet in the covered run and am very happy to report the French drain and run pavers are doing their job! Just damp there. We’ve had a lot of rain too. I didn’t get into the farthest corner yet, but it’s good enough!

That’s great! I knew it would work for you, and of course you did an amazing job

What kind of cake is underneath the ‘wool’?

Some warm sugar water (I use honey) will perk her up, I had to do that with a chick once who was very lethargic.

I already have it in the water thank you though.

This chick hatched with an eye bulge (I am sure it is a birth defect, I watched it hatch just as it is) but appears completely normal otherwise. I have done some research and there are many threads here on it. The prognosis isn’t promising nor is there a darn thing I can do about it. I will keep caring for it as best I can and it’s no longer alone.

Time, Terramycin (I hoarded some), and hope is about all I can do for the little peep. It is eating and drinking, I have yet to catch it pooping. some do pull through.
