Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I haven’t a clue about vaccines when it comes to birds.

Any idea what's wrong with her Bob?

No. She had been improving but had dramatically turned worse today. I'm treating for everything but she is fading badly. I am not optimistic she will survive the night.

I had her out in the sun today. Joy came by for a while.

I’m a bit tired. We had a church gift Boxing Day. I slaved over the kitchen stove. Made scrambled eggs and bacon for 32 people. Glad I had help in the kitchen. Then I went to Walmart across the street. More corn for my feathered family. Got home to a madhouse in and out of the coop. Walmart has pumpkins for $1.78 each tomorrow after church I think I will go buy one or two. My chooks won’t try pumpkins. Maybe the newer birds might .

Sorry to hear that she’s not thriving. My Polish were roosters, and they grew to adulthood but then both became sick and passed. I just never know

Aw @BY Bob, I am so sorry. Hoping for a miracle for you.

I don’t know…… one of those baby chicks looks an awful lot like Mr Wyandottey. Same golden laced breast feathering. I will try to get some closeup pictures.

Grabbed some video of Petra and Leah, girls or boys, who know.

I don’t even know how old they are! But I am going with that same age as the Noirans (10 weeks and 5 days).

The actual tail feathers don't mean diddly beans. They all get pointy just before/as they moult them out for the 10-12 week one. That's the one that starts growing the pointy cascade IN FRONT of the tail (the ones I caught on Tundra the other day). THOSE feathers are important. Keep an eye out for those.

I posted on the gender group to have some fun with.

I love the constant peeps of little ones!

They are so lovely together - I wanted to give it a heart for the lovely pictures of the two of them....but wanted to cry with the news.

I will pray for Niamh - that she pulls a miracle out of her coif and improves with your treatment and loving care.
