Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

I have six very comfortable nest boxes, but the chooks all fight over just two! It’s crazy

Does that one chick in that second photo look like it has feathered legs ?!

Let them dry. Let the down fluff up. Then look.

CeeCee is giving me grief. She is not adjusting well at all to Gracie's passing. She is on a hunger strike. She keeps looking for Gracie. Part of her not eating is even though she was the bigger of the two, Gracie was always the boss. CeeCee never ate until Gracie started, no matter how hungry she was. She has her bowl filled, but she looks at it, then goes searching for Gracie and then gives up and lays down beside it ignoring it. Telling her it is ok, and to eat, well, I might as well be talking to a brick wall. Mom was able to hand feed her a little bit of ham yesterday. She would not touch it when we put it on top of her dog food. This has been a hard spring. As rough as it has been on us, it has also been hard on CeeCee. She did not take loosing both Grandma and Jack well at all either, now she has lost her best friend and probably in her eyes mother.
This is how she is right now and has been. Just laying there, not sleeping and staring off into the distance.

I have joked previously she is too fat and needs to loose a few pounds, but this is not the way to go about it girl.
I need my weird yoga doggy back.

If this was my lad I'd be doing the hand feeding for now. Chicken and maybe rice and chicken rolled into balls. Does she connect with the cats at all? Something for comfort.

It’s my fifth time falling off a horse, and it’s the second worse fall I’ve ever had. The three okay ones I landed on my feet the worst one, ohhh it hurt. The pony spooked at her reflection in a mirror and took off. (I think I’ve said this before) once she realized that she wasn’t going to die, she “hit the breaks” and I went flying over her shoulder and landed on my left arm. It hurt badly for two weeks. It still sometimes hurts. For years after that fall, I would get butterflies in my stomach when going to the barn.

I've just started using brewers yeast.
I have a lot of joint and bone pain.

I've fallen off horses many times when I was young. Then I tore the ligaments in my ankles many times.
Strangely enough I didn't wake up as much in pain this morning and wondered if this yeast had something to do with it.

Apparently this yeast works as a flea and mosquitoes deterrent in cats dogs and even horses. Just a sprinkle for cats.

I put a large teaspoon in water last night and it was really pleasant so I did another this morning.

Good morning Marie and princess

Good morning everyone

Fluffy baby butt, the remaining Midnight Majesty Marans pullet, she is doing well.

I hauled the chicks and Curly out of the nest box so I could ensure it was dry and better place the water and feed for them. Curly had no interest in walking or moving all she wanted to do was snuggle her chicks. All they wanted to do was investigate everything

I have eight hens and they fight over one box. They refuse to use the other one.
