Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ValerieJ]

So, I've been thinking to ask for some help.
I don't know if you all have noticed but in most photos I take of Grandma, she has a weird bump in her eye. I don't know if it's bothering her. To give you some context, it's her left eye and you can zoom in to see more clearly. Her right eye doesn't have it. If you'd like a better photo, I can show you, no problem at all.

It does look like a little growth of some kind, but she is not squinting, so I would say it's not bothering her. Does she blink a lot?

I wouldn't say she's blinking a lot. She blinks like a normal chicken.

Can chickens get styes?

I would think so. But a stye is infection and I don’t see any redness or irritation.

Looks like a growth on her conjunctiva. Could possibly be on the inner eyelid. It’s likely in a good location as possible to have so it doesn’t irritate the eyeball too much.

Just keep an eye on it. Could just be an infection or inflammation.

Freedom at last!

I was able to get some of the gang out on Mount Poopmore today, it didn’t take them long to make a mess of things.

Shirley was not having any of it though!

Your kneecap pecking girls, Barbosa is like that with my shoes. If I stop for just a second there he is pecking away. I think he is obsessed with my shoelaces as he eventually goes for them. I have yet to test him out with my crocs. He is not aggressive in his pecking of the shoes so I do not see this escalating into flogging. Right now he simply has a shoe fetish.

Whohoo, I can confirm a second silkie layer and I caught her in the act this morning.

Lori my solid black bearded silkie pullet is laying.
