Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I'm betting a toxic bug of some sort. Maybe a plant, maybe she picked up something accidentally that they normally leave alone. But there are a lot of toxic bugs ranging from mild to deadly so that's what I'm leaning toward.

Could be true. Very lucky we did not lose her. She was not well on Wednesday.

They only have a week to carve that face!

Creative spookiness takes time!!!! Don't rush the creative spirit !
(but if you do need to give it a kick-start...rub a little peanut butter with scratch grain mixed in on the pumpkin!)

Here are some additional photos such as these fabric pumpkins. I ended up getting a small black and white plaid pumpkin.

Bees galore in the classroom. There was even a wool spinning area, where a woman sitting behind a wool spinner (whatever that's called) was explaining the process.

The same area where I bought the pumpkin, they even have a picture of a chicken. Tony has met her twin.

I don't think Hawk fits in with the falcons...

One last look. Of course this event was jam packed. Parking was available on the grass too.

Butterfly garden wasn't too interesting because of the weather getting colder so there were mostly dried flowers, however they were some pleasant looking flowers available.
I guess that's it. The rest of the photos are family photos, but due to privacy reasons and my personal preference, I won't be showing those. I will admit that the event was very fun. I did not want to leave.

Great photosAmerica has such scenic diversity... just like chickens/birds do. As pretty as falcons are, your Hawk is prettier!

I always wonder/feel sorry for species that have the oddest long beaks...

Is MG mycoplasma? Marek's? Sorry for my ignorance. Did you have it in your flock?

It is an educated guess that my gang has had Mycoplasma Galliseptica (MG), I have not run any testing but may have to, if I wish to vaccinate my gang.

They had all the symptoms and the use of the Tylosin antibiotic helped the birds who where sick. MG is caused by a bacteria.

Mareks is caused by a virus (herpes) and there is no cure for it. There is a vaccine for this also. I have some of my flock vaccinated for Mareks. Wish they all were.

Anyways Clyde is doing well tonight I’ll continue the Tylosin for 3 days.
