Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I know you are hoping for a broody hen soon. Do you know anybody who has a incubator? It might be time to think of incubating some eggs yourself if you wish to have some of Jaffar's offspring. I wish you were closer, I would hatch them out myself for you. At this point I could even give them to a Broody to hatch and rear as Bunny has went broody in the last week.

That is actually a great idea - an incubator to get some of his wee ones out there, and if in the meantime one of them does go broody shove the chicks under her!

 

[Ponypoor]

Be careful what you wish for. I swear it is contagious. Goose and Gryffyns are almost a week old now. Momma Hen and Holly could have theirs start hatching as early as tomorrow. Holly has started talking to her eggs this afternoon so they are on their way soon. Bunny went broody about 5 days ago, for the 2nd time this year and once again sitting on nothing.

I wish that Henny Penny would have gone broody a couple weeks ago - I would have shoved these chicks under her - she is actually very tolerant of them. They steal stuff from her, peck at her beak like chicks looking for food... I half expect her to peck them but she hasn't, I am very surprised. Marty was having none of it and told Martina to buzz off with a peck on her back!

I’m not sure if Jaffar has fertilized any of his hens yet. I actually doubt that he has.

Hmmm you haven't seen him breeding them at all? I didn't think Mr P was actually doing the deed but I guess he is.

Yea it was a double yolker lol

Maybe I should just do that!

Do it. Ask them what toppings they'd like, buy it, and eat it. They can eat the crumbs, if there's any.

Was out this evening taking pictures of Nugget and her babies Clover and Bread *don't ask, yes i have a chick named Bread*. Drumstick strolled by and realized I had my camera out and i swear he started posing for me. Here are a few of them, I do believe some chickens know what a camera is and are proud to strike a pose.

I thought that they were not laying. I was wrong!

Hmmm maybe I’ll check around here. Maybe they’re laying somewhere else? Of the four Buckeyes, there’s an egg every three days now. They will be three years old beginning of July. I don’t want production breeds, and if they’re healthy this is best for them, but I confess we just used the last six eggs on four hardboiled eggs, and two for a batch of brownies to bring to a memorial tomorrow. We’re going to buy eggs on the way back!

Thank you so much for bringing back this memory. I will not spoil it as you are reading from the beginning, but later on you will see why this memory is special to me.
