Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I’m pretty sure that I’m not pregnant!. “At home test kit” oh, wrong test kit! Haha

This is the one where u shove a pipe cleaner up your nose!

I was late getting out to the barn yesterday and the chickies were not afraid to let me know their displeasure

Of the ten or so eggs we've received from Storm, five have been double yolked. The others have been tiny sized single yolked. Can chickens hatch twins?

I have read they can but but extremely rare and they almost never live .

Polish are great chickens, in general. I'm so glad you got one.

I am happy to report that when I went to check on Momma and the chicks that there were 2 heads sticking out from under her to greet me. Now that it is dried and fluffed up it also looks a bit like Squirrel did as a baby. I went ahead and removed the dud egg so now we wait for her to decide when to bring them out. Both chicks got their daddy Bubba's feathered feet and the first chick is bigger so it will be easy to tell them apart. As soon as she brings them out from under the house I will get pictures of them.

She just went after Hattie again. Aurora must feel she needs to be reminded of her place for some reason. It's tough to watch sometimes.

Maybe Aurora is starting a molt? I don't recall if she's molted yet this year.

She has not and the very same thought occurred to me as I was watching her this morning. I believe that her molt may be coming soon. She was irritated all morning and prior to now she had been rather calm since the new ones started mixing in. She came over and yelled at me for a while this morning and her feathers are tattered.

Updating the Wall

I have spent the morning updating the wall of photos in the dining room.

Looking at this photo, I need to get my level out. I'm not very good at eyeballing them.

That is very beautiful. Once we get my walls redone I would love to do something similar. I know for sure I want 3 pictures hung up. I want 10 x 13 on canvas printed out of my favorite Drumstick picture. On either side I want a slightly smaller picture of Branch and Toothless.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of them!
