Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Yup. 4 BR 'pullets' (I'm questioning 1), 2 BO pullets, and 4 Marans Straight run. And 3 of the 4 have fuzzy legs I am crossing my fingers for 2 of the 4 Marans to be pullets, but who knows!

I cannot wait to see them Can Marans be feather sexed I wonder?

Hey all. I have good news and bad news...

Bad news first: Sheba is standing and walking like a penguin. I noticed it yesterday...today it's even more pronounced. I've googled it and as best I can tell, there's nothing not bad it can be. She's not egg bound. She is out most reliable layer...every day I have an egg from her. Shes eating and drinking. She's running around with the Meanie and Manny. I'm not sure what to do. It's not a good pic, but best I could do today.

Please anyone, advice???

The good news is Eenie is actually acting like a proper broody hen, pancake and all. She doesn't really want off the nest. I put water by her so she can drink without getting up, as it's pretty hot in the coop.

I'm still thinking of a way to get the others to move, or to move her. I'm not wild about trying to get Sheba to move since she's not well.

I know it's pony Sunday, but I don't have a pony. Here's my dog.

I found where the little next door chooks are sleeping. Not inside my coop, but just outside behind the chicken wire. Right next to my coop. It’s practically as if they prefer the company of my birds at night. They must be perched on the steel fence They are covered by the roof of my coop. Clever little brats.

May as well move them in after dark, then

Spoiler: Where is she?

Can you take a video instead? That will give a better idea of her stance.

So glad Earnie is sticking to her nest - that’s great news

I wonder who this is ? I bet it’s Misty who has been walking around going “BUK BUK BUK BUK” past week , bet she is going broody.

This not a nest box that they have been using for laying eggs.

Great another one….
