    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I am not a good enabler ... I think you should wait a bit before deciding to take in a rooster. You have too much to process now, and I believe what you wish is to go back to how things were with Jaffar, but that is just not possible :hugs :hugs :hugs Take it one day at a time and don't feel...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    This may be one of the saddest post I've read on this thread. I feel relieved that you have the chicks that will necessarily at some point force a smile on your face, because this must be so hard for you. I am sure everyone on this thread will keep him in their heart and memories for a very long...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Makes me think so much of this song's lyrics. (Sorry, I was a teen in the 90's...). Tax from the past. Not all chickens are born to fly....Piou-piou will never be aerodynamic.

    Easy. She will go overnight from this : Screaming deadly insults in R'lyehian .... #€*&!€!!!! Sounding like Rammstein. To this : Hello 🤗 I'm Merle would you care to share some of your delicious lunch with me ?🎵 (to the sound of Vivaldi's Spring).

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Hello, FBA ! It seems to be that time of year again when chicken maths hits hard on humans and hens. They may be a pain when you don't want more chickens, but there sure is no fluff like a broody's butt. Three are broodies here but I'm not giving in ; unlike most of you, we want less...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Pony Sunday. My neighbour's cows have been on pasture during the day in the property just above us for the last three weeks.They were very curious about what was going on in our place. They are back home now because one of the cows birthed a calf this friday. The old horse, Gribouille, is...

    My thoughts are with you and your family. I think many of us on this thread will always remember your grand mother, and how you and yours took care of her, no matter how hard. I often think of those pictures you posted of her and Owly. For me, they said it all. :hugs :hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Hello ! A late reply for which I apologise. I have been having internet issues on and off again. I'm also in the process of saying goodbye to Blanche, another of my ex-batt's just five weeks after Cannelle, and i've been finding it harder to concentrate enough to post, even though I still...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    They were up there daily for hours for the lambs ! And the horse See you and his mini donkey friend are also stabled there. I think they always managed to go up with vehicles, but judging by the number that stayed there for a few days it's possible they had to hike down. Marie, have you tried...

    Hello FBA ! It's the beginning of a very rainy day here. I hope you will forgive me for taking the opportunity to post a long delayed Pony Sunday post even though it's Tuesday. I'll make sure to post a few chickens pictures in there. First, I wanted to comment on the soft egg issue and the link...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I used to have trouble peeling hard boiled eggs. Here is the best trick I found which works even with fresh eggs. First roll the egg 5 seconds on the counter. Then knock and crack the top end, and peel just a bit where there is an air bubble. Then the magic is to use a tea spoon, slide it from...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    That's the typical poo from not eating enough. If it's possible for you, since you said she does eat scrambled eggs, you could try to bring her an extra small bowl with a choice of support confort food daily, ideally before roosting, for a few days to make sure she gets enough energy . Either as...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Pretty names but rather charged ... You do know about Circe and the pigs ? I'm glad she is better and hope she is on her way to recovery ! Maybe the Corid did help, or maybe she is getting over whatever she caught. And I hope I wasn't obnoxious. It was more than a year and a half after I got my...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I may have missed the first answers you got, so sorry if I'm repeating stuff that was already said. I am no expert by any means, but here is some basic information. First, just to make sure : did you stop the vitamins while doing Corid ? Corid mimicks vitamin B1, so giving both at the same time...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Hello FBA. I wanted to share my sad news, though most of you who know my chickens may have already read it on my thread. My ex-batt Cannelle, who had not been well since the end of January, died Monday night. She had ascites, and had been having issues that began as a reproductive disorder for a...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I always feel a bit guilty that I am not posting often 😊. I love this thread ! Oh ! How beautiful! And how aggravating 😬! No, they range in a yard during the day, and the younger ones free range because they know how to get out. The run is just to lock them when we both have to leave, which...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Hello FBA! I haven't been posting in a while but almost always following along. It's nice to see the younger ones growing and all starting to lay, and senior hens still doing well. How exciting that queen Aurora turned five ! Although I have to say my heart is with those who have known misery...
