Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Actually, I need to beat Featherhead to a joke for once.

You know what @BY Bob's chickens say after they lay an egg?

"beige beige beige beige BEIGE!"

I see what you did there.

Is that an ostrich egg?

Do you really think I would raise chickens taller than myself? Ain’t gonna happen

But there are farms close to the mountains here that raise ostriches. Imagine the feed costs, and all that

The poo has to be spectacular

For those who really know their poo, I can imagine it is spectacular.
Sorry I laughed, but here we are, talking poop again!

He was not handled enough when he was young. Do you give him treats afterwards?

He refuses to eat at all from my hand. You are correct - he was not handled as a youngster poor fella. But he is happy with his girls, and now I can move him from one side of the roost ledge to another without him having a coronary. I am ok with him not liking me, he just has to trust me and I think he does. I can walk right beside him and he doesn’t run away afraid.

Simple Jen Update

I checked in with her today. They are doing fine. The eggs failed that she was incubating so she set more. Kiddo is doing well in school. They are just very busy right now.

Thanks! Aww too bad about the eggs.

Would expect more brown from Rocks and Orps. Clearly I'm wrong.

My BR lays a dark brown egg, and the Orps lay pinkish brown ones.

On a more painful note: the prescription that the doctor ordered for me, has given me cramps in my long bones and my back. I awoke to the pain of cramping, and it hurt (bad)
I though seriously that I was dying. Ask PonyPoor about this situation, and actually, my mind is racing.plans ldeas

That’s horrible you need to tell your dr about these side effects, you are a team and both of you need to talk about the side effect and any good effects also. Side effects will generally decline with use. If you can take Tylenol try taking that, not sure about Ibuprofen, ask you dr if you can take that also, the two of them together complement each other and give good pain relief. You know my thoughts on pain control - if you’re in pain it affects your sleep and eating, everything.

I sure do hope you have a better night tonight. And remember - side effect will decline when you get used to the dose usually.
