Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

My dad had dark hair and wore it like the Fonz with a white t-shirt and leather jacket he looked just like Henry Winkler too.

My college son has the leather jacket, does his hair that way, likes t-shirts (don't HAVE to be white) and has BLONDE hair. He's familiar with the Fonz too.

Well the deed is done and 14 eggs are set. I was going to give them all to Bunny and then take Raven and put her on the roost. I had given Bunny 4 eggs, and each time I was putting one under her Raven stretched her neck out and tried to get the egg. Yes I caved, Raven has 7 and Bunny has 7. I was going to have to block off one of the porch boxes for Bunny anyway and it will be easier to just go ahead and block both from the laying girls. Raven proved herself to be a good mother this spring when she adopted the chick that Baby rejected after only sitting for a week. The question will be is if she will sit the entire 3 weeks. I guess now is as good of a time as any to find out. I hope I did not ruin her by letting her raise that chick before sitting for 3 weeks. Seeing as how they were set at the same time, if Raven does break herself I can give Bunny any developing eggs. I am too soft when it comes to these girls, I really should have put Raven on the roost. It was the look and soft clucks that did me in when she was reaching for the eggs. I also thought I had snuck out to set the eggs without being noticed. When I turned around to come back inside grandma was watching me out the window and had saw what I had done. She approved.

Awwwwwwww

I am glad you did, both gals can help raise the babies together. And keep them warm.

Oh I am soooooo eggcited I cannot hardly wait for them to hatch. It’s going to be a loooong 3 weeks.

@Ponypoor
Thank you so much for you guidance on that crumble, Princess can handle eating that with no problems at all.

I'm annoyed with myself for trying too take her picture while she was eating because she moved away but she went back for more after then away then back for more and more and, well you can guess she's still at it.
