Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I hope that is what it is.
I am on a mission to tempt her to eat so will be trying lots of yummy stuff tomorrow. She feels thin.

Have you tried breaking an egg for her? That yolk would be packed with nutrients.

Sardines? Have you tried that? Doesn’t Rebecca feed cat food? That would really packed with calories.

I thought this rental house I'm staying at is boring.
Forget that, the neighbors have CHOOKS!

Hey that’s great! Maybe you can talk shop with the owners!

I do give her cat food - she does quite like that so maybe I will try giving more of that.
She was keen on apple today and there is always corn.

They have a box in their driveway to take eggs and leave a donation. They have roosters and Silkies as well. I wonder if those eggs would hatch.
I wonder if I could sweet talk the neighbors into letting me hold a chook. I don't want to bother them though.
They also have a couple donkeys. The rental house owners said you can feed it saltines.

Argument here:

Niece says eggs stored pointy side up for longer freshness

I hears point down….

Who is correct?

Points down centers the yolk for hard boiled eggs.

Now I’m really worried about Eli. This is where she is choosing to spend the night.
I don’t get it as she has been perching fine on my arm and on the branches during the day.
I wonder if she lost confidence before she went broody.

Well she is not broody anymore.

But this leads to another debate:
Should you break it on the small end or the big end?

Big end. The air sac is there. Make it easier to take the shell off

Big end. The air sac is there. Make it easier to take the shell off

If I am remembering right you would be in big trouble in Lilliput if you did that.
