    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I never thought of a cat being cross-eyed. I don't blame you for hand-feeding him since crossed vision could make targeting food a handicap. I know if a chicken gets impaired vision it really throws off their food-target skills so it must be that way w/ any animal. Sometimes a broody Silkie...

    Théo and the chickens des Sauches

    It's sad Theo is ill. Smart to keep him indoors if his vision is impaired. Sounds like he picked up a chicken cold if he's breathing hard & raspy voiced. Do you do antibiotics of any kind in case it's a respiratory infection? Getting rid of an infection can at least make him comfortable if his...

    😁 Don't feel bad, you guys grow stuff that dies in our climate. We have to choose heat hardy things to plant here. Just potted a full-sun low-watering Upright Rosemary this morning. Have to get DH to photo it. Chickens have never been interested in chewing on Rosemary in the past... but our Char...

    Baby steps... a chicken yard or home doesn't develop overnight for us. Look at the $$$ & builds you've already accomplished ❣️

    Our local nat'l guard has been more active lately too. Our Silkies listen to the roaring helicopters flying sometimes together overhead & are now accustomed to the familiar rumbling noise.

    Poor Tilly panting. I feel so sorry for hens laying so frequently... especially in their pullet year. A few years back we started leaving the nestbox lid open a little for more ventilation by using a wood block. If it's a real heatwave day we'll prop open the lid more. Having a patio roof over...

    The heart is for your joyous new addition ❣️ Your property sounds like my first home in 1969. The backyard was an empty field when we moved in but then the county made it into a park w/ children's equipt & it was always noisy then. The cow pasture hills behind later all got developed into...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Switch the feeders changing places w/ each other so they see that they're identical... then later move a feeder to a new location to make 2 separate feeding locations. Hens get testy sometimes so a 2nd location solves dominance issues when/if they arise. Just one of 4 feeding locations at our...
