Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Curlers? Oh cruller

They aren’t donuts you know They are crullers

FYI- do not eat these in the barn were chickens can hop up and grab that sucker and take off with it. Brats!

But what about that Snickers bar hidden in your desk drawer?

Is this wee chickie a frizzle? I meant to ask you before.

How dare you!! Elsa is an old English game gangster

You are correct. Crullers yes, but they are considered donuts here

Didn’t spell those donuts correctly, or should I have been fined for it, tax:

I had to move Hattie out of the main coop nest box again.

Aurora attacked her twice since I moved her out of the coop.

And Hattie then went back into the main coop.



She is clearly more stressed by the heat than anyone else.

So I put her in with the Phyllistines. That keeps her seperate from Aurora and prevents her from getting back into main coop nest box with which she seems to be obsessed.

I love this photo of the new roommates.

First encounter video. It's long but worth the watch. About halfway through their relationships are established.

As you can see, Hattie still has some spunk left.

They are sleeping together tonight in the Cluckle Hut.

Hopefully this enables Hattie the time to get used to the heat. The Phyllistines will be mixing with the main group later this week. Podoubly as early as Thursday evening so Hattie won't be in with them too long.

I always check the actual persistence in eggs. This is usually well studied (for Baytril I believe it is 10 days for egg yolk).
This study is actually from NIH, but generally I find the European Medicines Agency to be a reliable source for withdrawal data.

I think you linked this for me when I used the Baytril I had on hand to treat Annie as emergency help when the vet's advice was to continue to treat for supposed coccidiosis, but she was going downhill and I couldn't get a return call. She quickly turned the corner, like within 24 hours she was improving. She was seven weeks old I think? She wasn’t going to lay for four more months! Everyone’s support here really meant a lot to me then. I still have angst / anger about the subsequent vet encounter and getting chewed out for using it.

She sure can still wrangle a teen! This is wonderful, perhaps it might even ease the transition, dare I hope?

I am glad it went well and that Hattie has some friends and has a safe place to rest.

I think it might help ease things for the Phyllistines. Hattie is way easier than the others will be.

Maybe you should watch out for those Phyllistines, after all they have that giant Goliath … you know the story.

“Let it go, let it go” are you wanting to see Elsa again?
