Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

I took Rudy to the veterinary clinic in town. He was a good boy all the time. We stopped at the local Carl’s Jr. for a burger and he ate half of my lunch. But he’s a good roo, so I’m not complaining too much

Why did Rudy have to visit the vet?

Poor Mr P

I am quite worried about him. He has not move much from his current location. His silkie ladies have been hanging out with him.

I am thinking some ‘sugar’ water for fluids and calories are in order when I get home.

Please get well Mr.P.

Now I'm worried .

What did the Vet say?

Virus

The veterinarian said that she has never seen any rooster as calm as my Rudy was today. I asked her about the fact that he doesn’t crow, and she said “maybe he just doesn’t feel like it. His lungs are clear and he’s a handsome gent.”

Make be if he has a virus he also isn’t feeling up to crowing.

I am sorry he isn’t feeling well still.

I came home and he was feeling more chipper. I put him out with his silkie ladies and he just wandered around with the girls.

He was holding his tail up today, and he even flapped his wings a bit.

Ooo la la strut your stuff honey bun

I meant to post these yesterday for Wattle Wednesday and I completely forgot. I'm not waiting a week so here they are a day late.
Also, notice something about Randall? The tail, its gone. He is molting. Is he older then I thought? When he first showed up he acted like a idiot hormonal teenager. He has tiny spurs. Molting, that is something I see my boys do when they are 1 1/2 years old at the earliest.
