Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

What was holly hiding you might wonder. Over the weekend her chicks started hatching. She has 7, 1 of her own and 6 black silkies. The little marans chick is 24 hours older then its silkie siblings but is twice their size, they are so tiny.

I have these and many other questions about this technique. Only video will satisfy!

That’s what I said!!

Well @Shadrach is the other one we could pester for more detail...he wrote a great deal about it, but here's a skeleton picture from the web.

OK - do we tap (from behind) somewhere on letter I, which I think is the foot bone, letter E (at the ankle joint I guess), or somewhere on the expanse of letter D's (shin?)bone, or, getting right up there at the knee and the chicken really wondering what's going on, somewhere around letter B, if we can get through all the fluff, and the chicken has stayed put?

So many helpful people.

I'm still unclear on why you haven't asked the chickens to hold the camera...

Literally laughed aloud at this

Sorry done of your girls aren’t feeling well @micstrachan, I hope they pick up soon. (And look after yourself too!)
New coop should be great @BY Bob, I wish I was a competent builder of things like this!
@RoyalChick good luck with getting Maggie to step up, the comments about her reactions so far has given me a few good laughs here!
@RebeccaBoyd congrats on the new babies, just adorable.
I’m sure there’s more but it’s early and that’s all that comes to mind
Oh and @BY Bob, the bingo thing was great, very entertaining
