Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sylvester017]

Was he happy with your progress?

I think so....he came into the exam room floating on Cloud 29....I think he's just relieved an 80-yr-old survived anesthesia....

Awwwwww yes! They are adorable, are they pelicans?

Yes

 

[rural mouse]

Is he learning to calm down yet?
The pictures you posted of Nacho and her toppings were so cute (please name them Jalapeno, beef, and chives)

Jalapeño, Salsa, Tomatillo

It's Our Turn Now

More H5N1 avian flu detections have been confirmed in poultry flocks in nine states over the past 2 days, including a massive layer farm in Pennsylvania that has nearly 2 million birds, according to the latest notifications from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).

Layer farms have been hard hit in multiple states, and the latest event in Pennsylvania’s Dauphin County will likely add to ongoing egg supply shortages. The virus also struck another commercial farm in Pennsylvania, a broiler facility in Cumberland County that has 30,000 birds.

I live in the same county as the 2 million layers and just across the river from the 30,000 layers. I am considering locking mine in the complex for a while.

Frightened Tax

Yes I would have them locked down for sure. That is just terrifying.

Is there migratory birds on the move down your way? It’s the depths of winter here so no migration happening. I am just wondering why at this time of year there is an issue with AI down your way.

Yup that’s partly it I am sure

But I think he is likley happy you are on the mend, us health care people we want the elderly to live as independently as if they are in their 50s.

Elder tax
Raven is doing really well, she is back with the main gang at night now.

Night night all

The chooks are tucked up in bed all snoozing

Ugh, ugh, ugh!
This is all so frightening.

Would anyone care to explain to me the "tax" reference?

@ChicoryBlue , I think you've mentioned to me you have a Pixel 4a. Don't install the new update Google put out for it, as from what I've heard the update makes the battery hold less charge. Also, don't send it in for a replacement battery, as supposedly they are finding things "wrong" with the device so they can charge you more.
