Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ChaosMom]

Yuck! Allergies! I you get relief! I get itchy if I eat certain foods but can't pinpoint what food ~ some allergens I know, others I don't. Rather than scratch my itches I use a cream Mometasone Furoate which my Dr prescribed me a year's supply. Now rather than scratch causing red skin or raised welts a thin spread of the cream stops my itching & heals at the same time.

Mometasone is da bomb. (I used it for psoriasis outbreaks on my elbows which completely vanished when I retired.)

Isn't she lovely

She really is. She looks healthy and thriving.

Hi GtC hope you’re feeling better

Look forward to a chick update

Hi, Pony. There will be a chick update tomorrow. I've been trying to go to bed earlier, but it doesn't seem to be the case here. I have some things I might have to discuss and clear out the way. Perhaps some advice, if any. Goodnight.

We had to get rid of Jabberwocky as well. Can't keep them in a suburban setting.

He's handsome! Personally I'd rather hear a roo crowing from a neighbor's yard than their dog barking all hours of the night & drag/scraping its dog dish all over their patio or listening to loud party music & screaming laughter coming from a neighbor's open window at 3 a.m.! It's a wonder our hens can sleep thru all that racket. Even 4th of July fireworks they sleep right thru!

This evening will be lockdown for my eggs! I am going to try the egg carton hatch method again, it keeps the mess contained and prevents the chicks from rolling each other over as they hatch.

That said, say a prayer if you feel led to...my allergic hives are back and worse than before so I'll be heading into urgent care to see what they think. All this push to natural ingredients has companies using citrus in everything which I am highly allergic to. Yuck

Kiddo and Marble last night. He does not pay her much attention, he trusts the fence will keep everyone safe.

Lots of wattles in this image, but none of them want wattle rubs

I hope the news is good and they figure out what you are reacting to.

They Own Me

These chicks can sure pluck my heart strings

They were in the rabbit hutch in the yard cheeping to go to bed. I went out opened the door and they lined up to be carried. I scooped them up and headed towards the Cluckle Hut.

As soon as Niamh saw we weren't coming in the house she screamed and started trying to get out of my arms. When I put them in the Hut they ran over to me asking me to take them in the house. I rubbed their chests and told them it was OK. They would be alright.

They made me feel so bad that I went into the house and brought them out some meal worms.

@RoyalChick informed me that the chicks had me wrapped around their fingers so to speak. I admit it's true and I don't mind it.

Chick #2 is out. It has had about 2 hours to dry up some and I now have 2 blues!! A 3rd egg has a good size pip and looks to be starting the process of trying to zip. I give it another hour or so. 6 more pips that I know of. I do not see myself sleeping much tonight. I will be creeping on the progress of those eggs.

Hard sitting on your hands isn’t it not able to hurry it along.

I love funky combs.

Hers is wild!
