Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

I’m sorry, Alex. I hope she pulls through. I’ve had a terrible year with the chickens myself.

My hen Dakota isn’t well. She stays in a laying box, in the corner. I’m not sure if she is eating or drinking. I’m not sure if she’ll make it either. But I’m praying for her well-being.

This has not been a good month for FBA birds

I sure hope she is ok, seems we are all having some issues with our feathered friends lately.

I went out to the coop, with a flashlight. Took Dakota from her hideout and brought her in to the house. She’s pecking an ear of corn at the moment. She doesn’t look too good because she’s molting too. But at least she’s eating something.

I think it’s all those computer viruses going around. I wear a mask when I’m logged into the internet. Lysol spray works on the screen for FBA time.

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.

So sorry. Sounds very challenging.

It’s hard when they moult, I have a couple more now. Of course it would be turning cold also….

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 . View attachment 4239643

They sure are growing big! They look lovely also.

It shocked me. I could hear the sound and had to go see what she was doing.

She’s manipulating the “egg”…..Maybe she is egg bound.
