Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

It never occurred to me to "like" everything until someone else mentioned it

I was just looking at your tag line with the 4 hens listed. How many different color eggs do you get?

Well, the leghorn lays white, the RIR lays ...off-white (maybe light beige if you squint) and the other two haven't started laying yet. They will be 20 weeks old on Monday and I'm hoping for green from Edwina and blue from Alice.

I sure hope you have better luck than I did. That will make a beautiful assortment.

The idea is that I will be able to tell who is laying what. I lost a hen to being egg bound before I joined this excellent site.

I'll post pics once I have eggs from everyone.
Don't be brown Don't be brown Don't be brown Don't be brown

Yes, I remember. I thought after I posted that I hope I haven't jinxed myself!

Back to Normal?

The Littles roosted inside again tonight. This time Maleficent and Aurora roosted right in front of the window where the fan blows. Maybe they are getting smarter?

You can't see Hattie but she is on the far end of the roost. Their timing could not be better. Vicious thunderstorms just starting to come through tonight. I am so relieved.

Excited to be Together Again

I went out and sat with them in the run today and everyone was excited to be together again. In big news, for the first time ever, Lilly squatted for me today! Maleficent was my friend today again and all was forgiven. Aurora was so excited she tied to bury my foot while scratching around my legs!

Yay! And is that jar full of meal worms??? How many do you have in there! I thought my little farm was getting overstocked for my space, but wow! that’s a lot of wormies for treats.
