    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    @ChicoryBlue - Having just gone through this. @Ponypoor ‘s method is 100% the best way to do it as it ensures they get all of it at once. As an alternative with Rue being in so much pain and me afraid I would do more harm than good, here is an alternative. You can crush aspirin (low-dose 81mg)...

    @rural mouse, I think I may figured out the color name for Thyme - Black Based Snoleopard. Mugs Monday: Pebble, no doubt he is a boy now. Juniper, she almost always comes up to say hello.

    Such wonderful photos of them. They are so elegant. This color for Polish always makes me think they are always dressed for fancy night out.

    Yes, I have done more reading about Mareks and injuries that cause similar symptoms while trying to figure out how to best help her. There are many things that are similar in terms of observable behavior. I checked her out afterwards and no visible injury still, just the leg swelling on one...

    I have some sad news, sorry to be a downer. Rue took a turn for the worse, by yesterday she was no longer trying to eat or drink. She also seemed to be in quite a bit of pain when she did even small moves. I made the decision to put her down last night. It was very hard as she was so very young...

    👋 welcome to FBA, we do love pictures. If you feel comfortable we would love to hear about your flock. I have never heard of this, I am saddened to hear you’re dealing with it and simultaneously glad there is a workable solution. I am also super glad you caught it!

    Yay! This is such good news. Awlll, he is adorable. He kinda looks like a kids drawling of a rooster in the best possible way.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Got some time to get out and chicken sit today. It was a smidge cooler today thankfully. Nyx and Pebble, they are beautiful and oh so tiny. Do they really not get much bigger? Are they slower to mature like E. Orps? I knew they would be small of course but my goodness these two are itty bitty...

    They do, you are also an experienced Rooster with Hattie and Mrs Bob as support I have no doubt all will be well. This gave me an idea for Rues recovery down the road. At the moment everything is completely flat of course. Food and water are able to be accessed even if she lays down to do eat...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Awlll, babies, babies everywhere! Cuties they were. When I had Brownie raise em it was so easy. Those chicks were untouchable, Brownie made sure of that and no one dared even try to mess with them. The Amerucanas took a lot longer and there was more drama overall. They did survive it though...

    Fluffy Butt Friday - Pebble may be staring at the wall there. Nyx is showing off her fancy chicken pose there and Porcini is still trying to figure out if Nyx is actually a chicken or not.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Yes indeedy! Sadly, I am pretty sure it is one of those two things. I told her if she had to get into trouble she picked a good time, as she is completely avoiding the heat wave. She is a good houseguest though, so no worries. It takes as long as it takes, if she is fighting so am I. ;) Speed...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    This is always so stressful, it does look like they have friend in Hattie for sure. It clearly will not exempt them from some unwanted pecks but I bet it would be more intense without Hattie vouching for them. In my opinion I think this went as well as a first integration could have gone. Side...

    Rue - update She is improving slowly but steadily. She remains very alert. She preens, peeps at me, and has even pecked me for trying to help her get to her water bowl! Her gate is now a clear limp vs the very a wild weird gate and other neurological symptoms she was displaying. This leads me...

    They really do look like they are hanging out together. It also looks as if the small tiger has brought over a toy for Hattie.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Rue - Almost all symptoms except her leg and gait issues have disappeared. Unfortunately her leg and gait have gotten worse. Her left leg has some visible swelling now. She is now inside in the tent, the heat was adding a layer she didn’t need. I have spent the day trying to devise some form...
