Newmie’s vet bill is $2,139.61. We are waiting to see what the steroids and antibiotics do for him, and exploring the treatments for laryngeal paralysis (often a surgery that ties back one side of the larynx) before making our next move.

In the meantime, if you’d like to contribute to the Newmie fund, you can do so via Venmo or www.fluffybuttrescue.org. Donate of $5 or more and we will send you a Newmie sticker in the mail (just send us your mailing address)



Of course this guy is worth every cent.

Newman Update!

Newman had radiographs and an endoscopy. The radiographs showed a mass, and thankfully the mass is not inside his esophagus or pressing on his esophagus.

The endoscopy found ulcers and small polyps in his esophagus. He had a course of gastrointestinal protectants to take care of it. His epiglottis was severely inflamed and restricted, and there were also changes noted in his proximal trachea, which is the beginning of his airway.

The vet is now looking more closely at what could be happening with Newman’s airway. One possibility they’re exploring is laryngeal paralysis.

The larynx is the “voice box” at the top of the windpipe. When Newman breathes, the larynx needs to open so air can pass into the trachea and lungs. With laryngeal paralysis, the structures that control that opening don’t work properly, so the airway can become partially obstructed. This could make it difficult for Newman to breathe while eating, and it could also affect his ability to swallow normally.

Thank you for caring about our sweet Newman and for following along as we try to figure this out.

We have lots of updates and this will bring you up to speed.

RUDY got a very functional haircut this spring. Because his legs, especially his back legs, are so sensitive, Rae spent hours over several days carefully clipping all of the hair from his legs. Unfortunately, removing all that hair exposed some skin issues that had been hiding underneath. Rudy is now getting treatments on his legs twice a day, and we’re doing everything we can to keep him comfortable and happy.

ELLIE is settling in beautifully and integrating nicely with Deanie and Emerald. She’s inquisitive, curious, likes being held, and is a total pip! She was concerned and kept a close eye on the vet when Emerald was getting a beak trim. Emerald’s beak was getting long, and she was starting to eat with her head sideways, which can limit the amount of food she gets. We’re so happy that this sweet girl is here at FBR, and especially happy to see things working out so well between the three of them.

The KUNE KUNES & POTBELLIES are continuing to work out their hierarchy and figure out the piggy social order. For the most part, it’s every pig for themselves…with one very important exception: Mabel is always looking out for her brother. She continues to defend him and keep an eye on him, proving that she is one very sweet older sister.

And then there’s NEWMAN…

Newman is currently at the vet under anesthesia for an endoscopy to try to determine why he continues to have trouble eating and why food is coming out of his nose.

He was previously diagnosed with a small airway in his pharynx, but we’re getting a second opinion to better understand what’s happening and, hopefully, figure out how to help him. While he’s under anesthesia, he’s also having dental work and a hoof trim.

We should know more once we have the results and more information from the vet. We will share an update as soon as we can.

Thank you, as always, for caring about our quirky, complicated, wonderful residents.

This behavior is called “tidbitting.” A rooster will pick up something yummy he wants show off and share with the ladies as a courting gesture. He wants to show a hen he is a good provider and protector. Unfortunately, Reggie isn’t allowed to court the ladies because he is too rough with them. But he does spend a lot of time talking to them and showing off through the fence.

We weren’t planning on introducing Mabel and Hugo to the potbellies yet, but someone had a different idea…

It all worked out, and now the kunes and the pots are together!

Meet Ellie. ❤️

A few days ago, this beautiful hen was found wandering the streets of Philadelphia. When we heard her story, we knew we wanted to welcome her to Fluffy Butt Rescue.

She is named in honor of Ellie, a passionate animal advocate and co-founder of Revolution Philadelphia, who brought us our very first flock of rescued Cornish Cross chickens in 2020. Those birds became the foundation of our chicken family, teaching so many visitors that chickens are individuals with unique personalities, emotions, and a deep desire to simply live.

Ellie’s kindness, compassion, and advocacy touched countless lives—human and animal alike. After Ellie’s passing, when we learned about this sweet hen from Philadelphia, we knew right away that we wanted to give her a home and carry Ellie’s name forward.

Earlier this year, six years after they first arrived, we said goodbye to the last member of that original flock.

The timing felt meant to be. Giving this sweet girl a safe forever home while honoring the legacy of someone who loved animals so deeply feels like a beautiful tribute.

Welcome home, Ellie.

A heartfelt thank you to the small army of people who made her rescue possible: Angelina for rescuing her, for helping find SarTiffanyster Jonathan Sanchezkend, Tiffany and Jonathan for connecting all the pieces that mRevolution Philadelphia, Jonathan for transporting her, and Rev Philly for funding her initial veterinary visit.

We couldn’t do this work without this incredible community. Thank you for ensuring that one more chicken has the chance to live a safe, loved, and cherished life.
