Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[TOMTE]

Here's the puncture. I'll still try to get better pics tomorrow. It certainly could have been much worse!

One of the Marans boys. They spend so much time in the woods, they end up over at my parent's house a few times a day.

Early bird

Marble's owner is having no luck with fertility in his pen. May be the heat. Hopefully Marble is fertile...

Tell him to trim their butt feathers in case the fluffies are getting in the way.

Love your bagpipes - must have some!!!!

Make sure to flush it out with peroxide, the oxygen in the peroxide will help get rid of debris and help get rid of anaerobic bacteria. Those thrive in wounds that lack oxygen like puncture wounds.

She should do fine, just keep her warm and quiet for a few days. If you have some Tylenol (liquid infant stuff, you know) you can give her some for pain management.

I wouldn’t do aspirin just in case of any bleeding you cannot see internally. Aspirin is a good anti inflammatory but in this case it’s also risky for being a blood thinner. But Tylenol is fine. It 10mg/kg of weight. An average hen gets .25ml (the syringe in the box has a measure for that).

Ok - you’ve got this, you did all the right things right off the bat at the start, keep doing what you’re doing. Sending hugs to both of you.

She likes to step on my hand when she has poopy feet ewww! I think she thinks I’ll clean her feet for her - what a princess. I’ve started calling her m’lady….

Ooooh a dalmatian chicken!! So pretty
(sorry, I didn't know what ermine looked like, and am just so run out that I didn't have the energy to look itup.)

Thank you

I think we might have hydrogen peroxide. If not I'll get some tomorrow. I'll also get liquid tylenol and the triple antibiotic.

Right now she's walking (limping) around and lying down while the other girls forage. She's alert, picking at the grass. I'm going to keep her in the garage for the next few nights to keep her from jumping up and down from the roost and so the others dont pick on her.

Obviously painful but able to stand

Look at that tail held high!

Sybil keeps checking on her

Maybe keep a friend in with her.

She looks good, and she will rest when she needs to.

They sure are looking good, whatever you’re doing keep doing it!
