Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

This is what happens when you get booted out of the nest box before you are quite finished:

Poor Calypso, I think she was quite puzzled!

OMG! And it bounced! Did it break?

Poor girl, how rude!

Integration didn’t go too well for us. The little ones totally annoyed the bigger ones and I had to separate them when the pecking started.

Try to put in places for the chicks to hide if you can. Hopefully they will soon get used to each other.

We talk bad about moths and don't realize how pretty and amazing they really are.

Hey BY Bob. How’s every going at Fluffy Butt Acres?

It’s been so long since I’ve been active here. I’ve missed my friends.

I am trying to remember.
I definitely gave her antibiotics (Baytril) after the second bout (two months before she died) and she definitely stayed well and chirpy until her last few days. What I can’t remember is if I treated her the first time around.
I didn’t make a note of it - but I am not reliable at record keeping.
I will dig around a bit to see if I can figure it out.

You may have found it already -but I would be willing to bet that you posted on here if you did. I do remember that visit - you were certainly NOT going to euthanize at that time as she didn't seem in pain. I remember thinking 'good for you" turns out (imho), good for Maggie, too - as she did seem to have a very happy/chicken contented life for 2 more years thanks to that decision! [Well, contented when she wasn't yelling at the hooman servant for not being up to par with the servitude at times, LOL]

I gathered up the little chooks, and brought them inside. Cooler indoors today. I didn’t expect them to fall asleep, but they all did.

They woke up to the sound of me husking and ear of corn which they soon attacked!

I’m interested just how old these birds are. ???
