Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Which of the pictured hens, is your lawyer?

It's the smallest chick in the biker jacket, she's also his stalker. But whatever is clever when he needs legal advice

Goodnight, Marie, sleep well.

I've been up trying to find a decent wormer.

 

[Marie2020]

Got the wormer on order. I hope it gets here soon

Thank you to everyone that helped.

Good night, it's time for my bedtime story

I use a pair of dog trimmers, then file them smooth. She is only 6 years old and this will be her 2nd trim.

I need to do Mr P this weekend. His are very thick I might use my hoof nippers! Just need to be careful not to break the bone in the spur.

Hi everyone.
I missed a day and a half and get behind 12 pages.

First off, @featherhead007 I am so very sorry about Hen-Rietta's passing. She had a wonderful long life with you. Also congratulations, you wanted Buff Orps, from you recent pictures you have at least 2 orps.

@Ponypoor congrats on POW with Miss Betty.

I am exhausted. Had to be in Lexington this afternoon for Rosie's eye dr appointment. Afterwards I had to make good on my promise to hit the mall for her birthday. I think that girl could live in Old Navy and Bath and Bodyworks. Dad had 1 job while we were gone. 1 job, gather the eggs. Did he do that? Nope, 14 eggs in 2 different spots in the hay. I left home with no broody hen, I came back to Karen plopped on the nest with 8 screaming like a banshee.

Sadly I am 99% certain Momma Hen is gone now. Dad did go trail riding today and up by the cemetery behind our house He came across a huge pile of feathers. No body, but a lot of feathers. From the pictures he showed me they look very much like Momma Hens. That or hawk. If it was Momma Hens feathers, I can not blame her passing on a predator. Being at least 12 1/2, and the mobility issues she had been having I think she passed naturally. She was showing signs her time was close at hand. She gave me grief, she flogged me more times then I care to count and I called her everything under the sun. I will miss that Ole Bat. There will never be another one like her.

If momma hen is gone she certainly lived a full life and she will live on in all her offspring. You have my condolences on her passing. She was one of a kind.

Just checked the babies on the camera, they are getting big now, and they must be warm they are spread out and not under the brooder.

They will be 4 week old Sunday. Wow time sure flies!

And tonight when I bought them all back inside for their headcount i missed Betty - when I opened the barn door there she was frantic because she was out alone! She is always going off on her own and not staying with the group, maybe now she will stay closer. Also time for me to trim her hair I guess.

Also her eggs are not getting any bigger - they are way smaller than the silkies eggs even.

Gasp! Oh no! Not Sir Jaffar! I am so far behind. I’m so sorry, Alex @featherhead007

 

[micstrachan]

This is probably the saddest post I have ever done here on BYC. I had to go to town this morning, and upon my return home I found Sir Jaffar lying in the run passed away. One of his spurs was hooked up to the chain link, as if fighting off a threat to his ladies. So, he’s gone and I am devastated.

Such devastating news, Alex. I’m so sorry.
