Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I was able to find out who was laying another of the eggs, Ruth is laying a blue with a slight green tinge to it. Hers is the middle egg seen here.

But I am not sure who is laying the 2 brown eggs, the end one is a lovely dark colour, the second last one is a lovely terra-cotta brown colour. They are likely the last two of the Hoover chicks. As I know the eggs Ruth and Babe lay.
The pink eggs are from Butterscotch and Fluffy.

I wonder if the second last egg is from Cash who is supposed to be a Bielefelder.

Pretty eggs. Ruth's is actually a lovely color. You know, I have been thinking that maybe, just maybe it would not be so bad if Owly laid a green or blue egg. Not that I plan on hatching mind you, but she and Bubba would make some darn right pretty olive eggers.

Beautiful eggs!

You know, I may gloat a little for bringing our dear friend @RoyalChick over to the "dark side" with a feather footed lady. I have a feeling if Owly does indeed lay a blue or green egg I will be the subject of such gloating as well. To me the "dark side" is blue or green eggs. Yet here I am looking at her and Bubba already imagining what cute olive eggers they would make. Gah, Owly save me and lay pink.

I can’t wait to see! At the moment I only get blue eggs. One big (Babs) and one small (Piglet).
Everyone else has opted out or not started laying yet.

It is a capsule so you have the option of giving it like a pill or putting it in butter on their paws.
I use both methods depending on the cat.
It is a prescription - the vet makes sure I have a few on hand. You give it about an hour before the appointment so that by the time the vet sees them it has started taking effect.

Excellent. Thanks!

Roo not Roland! Also, @Lilion maybe just add a few tunnels here and there, like an old large post box, or two 5-gal buckets with the bottoms cut out and put together, bricks on either side to hold them in place, nice bedding inside. Maybe she'll find more options then.

Thanks for the ideas!

As always, I'm late and behind on the thread. It's a sad, rainy Christmas Eve here in Missouri. The rain is really coming down. I guess we're dreaming of a wet Christmas this year.

Everyone is okay here. No big change in the status quo. Meanie remains under the feeders, though she comes out to eat and drink and whenever Tres isn't around. Odd hen. Maybe she's just not into boys? I literally never saw Manny mate with her. But she does come out, so there's that.

Tres's future remains uncertain. If we free-ranged, I wouldn't consider rehoming him. But we don't and we don't intend to hatch chicks again, so There's just not much reason to have a rooster. Eh. We'll see how it goes.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

Got to see the thread for a split second....
Thank you! That pic was just a bowl full of eggs with landscaping in the background. Thought it would be a really good photo, turns out it is!

One other thing I forgot! Sheba, bless her feathered heart, is STILL laying! We get about 4-5 eggs a week! Crazy. It's nothing we're doing. We don't even have electricity to the coop and we're lazy so some weekend mornings we don't open the doors until 10!

That little black mutt-hen, whatever mix she is, is just a laying fool!

And if crossed with Branch then the blue eggs would be dominant in any pullets

You said your silkies laid white eggs didn’t you? Mine all lay pink eggs. My friends silkies also lay pink eggs
