Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I think these birds instinctively know that I’m not fully up to par today. They are not bothering me for treats as much as usual.

They can tell. I bet you get snuggles.

Happy Monday

She surely is a special hen

I think so!

I love her comb. It just the right amount of different so that she is cool.

I need to get video when she shakes her head - it is very floppy and flies all over the place when she does that!

She is a looker!

Ooooh - yes - that will be cool. OK, I am on a mission. It is 80% humidity out there right now so I might wait until it is a little cooler to try and capture it.

The hormone is called hGC.

It is the hormone a body produces while pregnant (during my first pregnancy they tested my hGC levels each visit, and because of being off the charts so early, they knew I had more than one baby).
Anyway, when pregnant you create the hormone and it prevents ovulation.
Whereas chickens don't become pregnant, it apparently still is meant to reduce ovulation...which is exactly what Naenae needs to slow down on.

Thank you for that information. I'm wondering if we can only acquire this hormone from vets. Or can it be found I any foods.
