Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

I put a poultice on Muffy last night and then went to give her a 1/2 aspirin, because I had just given her some mealworms in my hand so I figured she would gobble up the half aspirin also - yep she did. She gave me the stink eye though, so I gave her more meal worms to make her happy hahahaha!

I don’t like talking poultice on byc. I don’t like talking poultice’s in church either. It’s not proper for anyone to be talking poultice in any forum other than government meetings.

Oh you said poultice, not politics, sorry, my bad.

Oliver my old stray boy said. Who do you think you're taking a picture of. That's going to cost you more food

Oh dude, the cat ate my stash. I’m gonna have to follow him around for days to get it back!

 

[RebeccaBoyd]

I just checked and still 1 chick. No signs of other pips.

They are on their own for the next 12 hours. Have to head to work and Saturday is the long day as all the heavy cleaning also needs to be done tonight after closing.

 

[Ponypoor]

PonyPoor raises horses, chickens and non-chickens. Probably a cat or two as well

Hey I don't raise anything anymore, except my cuppa tea! While sitting in my lawn chair... feet on a bucket, relaxing. I raise my cuppa tea to that!

 

[Ponypoor]

I just checked and still 1 chick. No signs of other pips.

They are on their own for the next 12 hours. Have to head to work and Saturday is the long day as all the heavy cleaning also needs to be done tonight after closing.

I am sure the chick will be fine. Are the eggs still viable?

Gosh can't wait for some photos! Have a good day at work, be safe.

 

[Ponypoor]

I was hoping to catch the 310 to Yuma but I missed it.
Looks like I might have to fly there instead.

Oooo - maybe I'll watch that movie this afternoon, while sitting on my lawnchair watching the chooks - magic of modern technology - The Internet!

I have fond memories of Yuma having visited many times, seems everyone there has chickens!

 

[knoturavggrl]

A day late but a Fluffy Butt is always good what is that pattern on her dark feathers? It almost looks like an echo of barring or lacing maybe?

We put this together and the kids are having a blast with it, summer fun! It’s now in its final place and swings out across the creek bed. I also cleared out a bunch of the weeds around it. This pic was before all that. My little test subject was a happy helper.

Weekly synopsis for week of 31 May to 07 June 2025

Condolences go out to Grandmas Coop on the lose of Onetail

Condolences also go out to Sally PB on the lose of her sweet Pippy

BY Bob

Time to do some internal parasite preventive care:

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28633563

The new babies are growing up – but they are still peeping which is doubly cute when their tails bob in time to the peeps.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28634259

Aster and her cute derriere are now a part of the FBA coop

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28635409

Hoist those Sail Tails!

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28638806

Careful Misty, HRH is quite miffed by your muffs!

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28636223

And a link to find out just what sort of chicken parent you really are.

RebeccaBoyd

Some lay eggs and other have live young – what is this you ask? Well click to find out what is happening at Rebecca’s place.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28637994

It’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission sometimes – I imagine that is what Rosy and Dad were figuring (in my opinion).

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28638036

And an update on the broody mamas.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28644322

Still one chick… be good Mamas, Rebecca has a long day at work today.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28634471

Broody times seem to be the theme right now.

Babies everywhere and all of them are growing into beautiful chooks.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28633703

It’s always both funny and cute seeing silkies all cram together to lay an egg.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28635007

Chickens and gardens – no matter where they are chickens and gardens just seem to go together.
