Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

What about something to do with squirrels? What's the Latin name for squirrels? The term for a baby squirrel? Flying squirrel? Squirrel relative in the animal kingdom?

Squirrel in Latin? Errol-squay?
Wrong Latin.

Just Errol….?

Just Errol….?

That was my pet fish’s name “Errol Fin”

After two hours and 45 minutes we have a result!
It is pale minty blue green. It is 45 grams, and is the first egg laid in The Chicken Palace for a very long time.
She went a bit overboard on the calcium so it has a gritty texture from lots of tiny calcium deposits.
She was the only one who did not sing the egg song - both Eli and Bernie were shouting up a storm, and by the time she was done I was joining in too.
Taking a good picture with her and her egg was hard as the other two wanted to take credit for the egg and kept crowding in. And all Babs wanted to do was rehydrate.
But here goes - please celebrate with me!

And I love that Bernie sang along! The colour is perfect

Congratulations Babs on such a pretty perfect egg. You never know, this may spur on Bernie to get with the program.

I love how RC said Bernie was also singing along!! That’s great!

I am not so sure this will make a difference. That said, we are coming on to spring - so if Bernie is going to lay, she will probably start within the next month to 6 weeks. (i.e. by late March)

I love how RC said Bernie was also singing along!! That’s great!

That is the 'Way of the Chicken' They all celebrate the chance for the species to continue!

Actually, I do wonder why everyone joins in, when it is supposed to be an escort call for the hen so she can go back to the tribe????

I do like to hear it, though .

I'm sure @RoyalChick was just tickled pink to hear it today!

Egg songs! Everyone joins in on the action (especially Jaffar) and they can be loud!
