Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I thought that attitude was the most important part of any situation . Oh, you said “altitude “ that’s important too I guess.

As a pilot you should understand the importance of BOTH!

My dad used to say to prick the flat end because that's where the air sac is. Did he have that wrong? Maybe it doesn't matter which end is pricked?

I once taught a friend to prick her eggs before boiling them and when she came back from an overseas holiday, she brought me an egg pricker! I've still got it somewhere. It looks like this.

Please educate me. Why prick your egg before boiling?

There's approximately 45 feral chickens that visit my yard on a daily basis. Around 10 of them (including Chickadee) choose to live in my backyard and roost in the trees. They are free to come and go as they please, but choose to call my backyard their home It's flattering to know that of all the places they could live, they choose to stay here.

That is truly flattering. You must make them feel truly safe.

Fret in a hole having a bath. One of the Legbars Fax I think stood by for the entire time. She's very timid is Fret.

Is Fret not a Legbar, too?

She’s from the same batch of chicks as Dorothy; she’s 2 1/2. Bridge is the same breed from the same hatchery and stopped young, too.

So you think she may be done laying then? That would be quite early too be done.

I hope not. That doesn’t seem super healthy.

It does not and worries me. However if she has gone that long without laying and not displayed any symptoms I'm not certain what else it could be. Whatever is the cause, it does not seem to be really harming her.
