Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Sad News

Sansa passed away today. I just found her in the run. I will not be doing a necropsy. I really don't care why she passed. She was active and seemed fine, a few hours later she was gone.

Rest in Peace my friend.

My beloved Amber has now left us. She was struggling today and it was her time to leave.

Her final time was spent with her sisters

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I know that it's never easy dealing with a loss, but I hope that it'll bring some comfort knowing that her final moments were spent with her sisters

Beetov-Hen’s not good. She has that breath smell, and she’s shaking as I am holding her. Any support would be appreciated. (I have been through this before and said goodbye to my hen)

Alex, I'm keeping you and Beetov-Hen in my thoughts & prayers Please be sure to keep us posted.

She’s right here. I will tell her what you said. Thanks

She was.....

837 days old
120 weeks old
27.9 months old
2.29 years old

Way before her time.

Way too soon.
In situations like these, this quote always comes to mind:
"If my love could have saved you, you would have lived forever."
I know how much you love your girls and I know that losing them never gets any easier. Please know that I am thinking of you, your family and your flock during this time

Okay, next year, I will sprout up some wheat berries for my feathered family. Thank you

Thanks for not calling me out on those typos.

Oh Bob. I'm so sorry.

You are having *the worst* time with your flock.

What is the best way to pet a chicken? @Shadrach mentioned that stroking the back is associated with mating. Currently, I have been making an effort to instead stroke their chests?l. Is there a better spot?

I think the chest is a good call because they can see what you're doing. I have heard that some like to have their wattles stroked.
