Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

wow! is he your pet?

Yes! He's a 9 year old bearded dragon.

Does that apply even when there are no females around them?

Yes, from what I've read.

I just posted on trying to reset her laying cycle with darkness. Sometimes that can work.

Oh we’re not near desperation yet- she just started (trying) to lay earlier this month. And if the cause of the soft eggs is stress, I can’t imagine isolated black out box time would help.

Spoken too soon. That huge egg came out of her with a shell, but very thin I picked it up and it crushed all over my table

You don’t know your own strength

Single comb is recessive. To get it from rose comb parents, they both have rose comb HIDING a straight comb gene. The head spot indicates barring, so at least 1 parent is barred. Options: 1. one of your Dom ladies is Rrpp (single copy rose comb) and chick's father is your buff orp => chick is cockerel (can only get barring from mom) and could show some buff leakage as an adult. 2. Ijak is Rrpp, and chick is from any of the ladies EXCEPT your Dom ladies (or your legbars if you have them?) and could be any gender, possibly show color leakage if mama is not the black ladies. 3. Pure Dom, both parents are Rrpp, hiding the straight comb, role of the dice managed to get the rrpp from both, and is female (based upon headspot size. 4. If you have ANY ladies with even a smidgen of barring (beyond the doms), could be from them and the BO cockerel ....although, color then seems odd...unless it's a black split of some sort.

May have other possibilities, but this is off the top of my head, while at lunch. Does that sort of cover what you're asking?

This is brilliant. I’ve read it twice haha

An odd egg indeed

Came home and checked the egg situation, that’s when I found the odd egg.

An egg within an egg.

The nodule on the egg seems to be calcium as it was hard.

And let’s crack this oddity open!

Monday’s Mugs:

Fez, who wishes she were getting more fermented mash and less lettuce.

Becky, who is grateful for all treats. She was laying softish shelled eggs but I started adding the crushed oyster shell from the bottom of the shell cup into a special morning treat for her and presto, great eggs!

Quincy, who doesn’t believe EE need fluffy cheeks. She gets her waxed.

Dottie is skeptical about something.

Wonder why so many people are getting these eggs...
