Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Oh Kelly, I love it when you speak French!

Here is something simple for you…

Comment vont tes poules?

(Did I spell that right)

Want to see my little redwood forest that the church has given to me? It’s a beautiful restful place and I tend to these trees. I love redwoods.
I sponsor a grove of them in Northern California also. Above San Francisco.

That's some serious fluff.

I think Rose has the most fluff of all the birds...surprising since light brahmas are supposed to be bigger than dark and buff. I suspect Daisy is actually a light x dark brahma mix and got the dark brahma size.

I am very worried about Sweetie, she is not acting normal, and feels cold, and looks pale. Not sure what’s going on there.

I should explain I had to come home from work to wrangle chooks this morning, I neglected to lock the back barn door and one of the horses must have pushed it open (Reenie no doubt), once I kicked horses out and dragged chooks back in I noted Sweetie was laying on the ground not getting up and moving around.

As I had to get back to work, I gave her some antibiotics, and half an aspirin at 11:30am. Then I put her in with Mr P so she could be under the Sweeter Heater if she wanted to warm up.

She was still not normal when I got home, still pale and cool. I don’t know if she got injured with the horses or if she is brewing some illness. She received some Tylenol around 6:30pm; when I head out in a bit I’ll give her more antibiotics.

These chooks are as much worry as the horses.

Prayers for Sweetie

It’s right in the center of town, but very few cars use that street, and the building in the background is a Walmart store.

It was a lovely day today, got to +24C my farrier was out to trim feet, we talked chickens (she misses have her own flock, but with her husband raising broilers she is not permitted to have her own flock off backyard chooks), and then chatted horses, and of course discussed her new baby who is adorable! It was a lovely visit on a lovely day.

The chooks had to stay in the Rooster Run to keep them out of the way, the grass in there is knee deep, I’ll have to mow some of it tomorrow. But the chooks enjoyed playing jungle raptor for a bit out there.

Pepper-Larry was browsing the seed heads on the grass, love how their third eyelid come into play to protect their eyes.

Some dirt bath time…..

And the gang wandering through the grass
