Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Aussie-Chookmum]

This is wonderful. I love Pepper's flight. She had some good air there.

Question for everyone. Do they really go faster when flying. I don't mean when flapping and running at the same time but when truly airborne, are they actually faster than when they run? They seem so slow to me when they are in the air.

No idea. But Pepper certainly seemed to be covering some ground there. She did take off from a higher point though.

Her comb is still so titchy, I think it’ll be spring for her but I love the fact she’s hanging out with Snow each time so far. Will prob change once she is laying herself.
Also, not a peep of escort call from Snow either day still adjusting to what her body is doing?
@Shadrach any ideas on the silent laying?

I'm not @Shadrach but I did stay in a Holiday Express last night.

The general rule here is no escort calls. It will happen once in a blue moon but laying occurs and they get on with it. Of course mine are waiting in line to lay so they are not separated from others. Hence they do not need an escort to find the tribe.

Snow will very likely make the escort call if she ever lays alone and needs to find her friend Belle. Otherwise there is no need. The tribe is together.

You got this. Just some dirty hens. No big deal.

She really is my sweetest hen. She's also the alpha.

It is nice when they align. You are very fortunate.

She got some air under her for sure.

Those eggs are similar to mine. I didn't actually lay them the girls did.

Now I get it, the chickens write in here for you.

Hello girls . I hope your naughty dad is being good.

Hello everyone. I tried catching up a little before saying hi.

Today I tried doing as @BY Bob suggested on spraying my girls especially princess muck. They were really offended and cause a riot then the spray broke on the bottle
