Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Today was going to be just dandy. My friend was taking me out for lunch but my cat brought me in this little bird, that has now escaped into my bedroom somewhere. Strangely enough pusscat didn't kill it. But I'm still not sure if it's hurt or not.

So no lunch, it's a matter of a waiting and searching game until I find this little one

It had a few little drops of manuka honey and salt water but I can't find her/him in this room.

I've drenched meal worms in honey slightly salt water in hope that I can feed and assess it to be released. I hope it's still alive

Any advice on what I could feed it if I find him would be really appreciated

Best to just set it free if you catch it. It’s likley just afraid.

I took the egg out, should I put it back

The door is slightly open at the side for airflow

I would remove the egg in case she breaks it. And just let her be, she is likely resting.

Brilliant idea!

Speaking of the synopsis!

To anyone and everyone here, who loves this thread. We are always recruiting and could use a few new volunteers to take a week or two here and there.

The core team takes turns and it ends up being a once a month commitment but with more people this could be even less frequent.

It takes me an about hour out of my week to do this when it is my turn. Just to give you an idea how much time it takes.

We are very flexible and are deeply grateful for any assistance.

If anyone out there would like to give it a go on a regular or temporary basis, please reach out to myself, Ponypoor, or Royal Chick.

Do you need the egg? It’s hers, she laid it. Maybe you should let her sit on it for a bit?

Or scramble it with some canned fish and give her a tasty treat as a reward.

I need to get ready for church. Xzit is still comfortable on her bed. Maybe I should just let her stay in the house until I get home from the service. I worry about the damage that she might do while I’m gone.

You never know what those British chickens are thinking. One minute they might be broody, the next minute they’re wanting fish and chips. “This is our finest hour!” W. Churchill

Your assumption is likely correct in this case. (I say likely as with chickens, they tend to make monkeys out of you when you make definitive statements (they do me.))

This is very true. They constantly surprise me. Nothing is definitive.

To late now.

I've been searching for this bird in my bedroom. Finally I've found it

I think it's a baby. It's now in a shoe box. I can't let it out yet as cats are around and it needs rehydrating .

She's had crumble banana and sardines. I'm so proud of her
