    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Well as long as she is getting nutrients into her, and hopefully she is staying in the nestbox to rest and heal. If she is feeling badly then resting is the best option. I didn’t go to Emerg I am ok as far as head and neck - but now I have my bosses ‘virus’ of whatever he had. I have a sore...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Thank you for asking 🥰 I am good, I didn’t go to emerg as I wasn’t experiencing any issues with dizziness or headache and while my neck is a bit sore, not as sore as when I had a fall from a horse. And it was sore before Truly clobbered me - sore from all the snow blower activities on Thursday...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Great now you have made me hungry! But for me to trudge up to the house get out of all my winter gear and grab those snacks is very time consuming! But…. I will make sure to add tortilla chips to my stash of snacks here in the barn this week 😉♥️

    Did a search on that site and found this article: https://www.unmc.edu/healthsecurity/transmission/2026/01/07/its-completely-out-of-control-scientists-warn-bird-flu-could-spark-a-human-pandemic-in-2026/ I would say if this occurred the the USA and other countries like the UK and Canada would...

    Between the snow and Truly I am pooped today. I need to go let the chooks outside for a bit though if it ever STOPS SNOWING. The temps are set to plummet tomorrow so I want them to get some more time outside.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I actually caught it because when I held one of the Azure afterward I was crawling with bugs! Bugs I didn’t know what they where, freaking out, in a panic! When I found one on me I plucked it off and did an internet search. Lice came up, that got me thinking about the chickens, checked, more...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Yes but China has a huge readily available low paying labour workforce to help vaccinate, France has been vaccinating their ducks, but only small populations of them. The more valuable option for this vaccine I would say personally here, is to the backyard flock or small flock owner (less than...

    Like my lunch? Hiding out in the feedroom so it doesn’t get stolen! Gosh it was yummy! Chocolate gives me migraines though….. I’ll blame it on the weather! Or hey on Truly!

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I had this discussion also with the BC Veterinarian. Here goes: 1) it’s political, the different countries that all have agreements in place for agricultural trade have an agreement on how to deal with Flu, this agreement is to ‘cull to control’. If a country were to not do this and started to...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    All good, just checking the weather report and the News. Having a nice hot cuppa tea. It's fairly mild out there at 0C might see if the chooks want to get outside for bit today. Likely be the last they will be able to get outside for a few weeks - another big arctic blast on the way. Oh yay...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Water birds (ducks, geese, swans, etc) carry that strain of Flu, during migration times they 'spread' it around, like when kids head back to school in the Fall and they all get sick when stuck in a classroom together. One gets sick and spreads it to everyone else. In these factory farms there...
