Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

I'm 80 & can't even pickup a 2-lb Silkie yet! Therapy started today to go on for 4 weeks just for the fingers/wrist/elbow. Thursday is evaluation for full arm/shoulder rotation therapy.

You ok today? No lingering effect from your elegant decent?

Elegant. Yup, that is what it was!

My neck is a bit stiff but otherwise everything seems to be in good working order. Well, as good as it ever is these days.
Thanks for asking.

Tax: The moment I lost control of the dinner roll. Tassels left me with only a tiny piece in my hand.

I had a dream last night that my eggs were hatching, but the babies were popping out all dry and fluffy. And one of the ayam cemanis immediately crowed

Psychic powers...? An ayam cemani roo sure would be awesome!

Yeah, arthritic old ladies aren't interested in the Dating Game

I remember that! I am old enough to remember that game show

TERROR AND PANIC

That is the only way I can describe how I felt this morning.

Petunia is dead. She died in the Hen House on the roost ledge with the others in the wee hrs of this morning. Well before I got out there at 4:30am.

Why?! That’s what terrifies me and makes me panic. Was she not feeling well? Yes - she had been I’ll for about a week, had yellow poops, Sunday I started her on amoxicillin. Yet she died. Why? Did she have health issues? Yes - she was plagued with soft eggs last summer, and then an impacted crop, but once she moulted she blossomed. But she became ill again. And now has passed away rather suddenly.

Now I play the watching game with the rest of the flock, see if anyone else becomes ill. Meanwhile I think I will worm and treat for coccidia, just to cover all bases.

And then there is this in the News:

AI has now been detected here in Ontario, the Rouge is not far from me…
