Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ribh]

Bit of a Marmite fan myself, but what on earth is Promite?

Along similar lines. Not as strongly flavoured as vegemite.

Is Sydney Broody, for sure, for sure?

Someone was missing when I let them out to free range today.

She was still on the nest this morning but bolted when I opened the lid to check on her. She has been making some of the deep clucking sounds and puffing up but just not on camera for me. I'm currently watching how long she stays off of the nest. She is new to this so we shall see. If she holds through the weekend I may have to ask @CrazyChookChookLady for those fertile eggs.

I know, everyone else is breaking their hens and I'm hoping mine wants to hatch. Isn't the world a funny place. Here she is scooting off the nest this morning when I disturbed her.

I've found my BRs are a bit that way. They always seem to be 1/2 broody & take ages [as in hours] to lay each day. Given the size of the eggs that's not so surprising. I wouldn't want to be pushing one of those out in a hurry.

Oh no, you are thinking of Bovril. Marmite is yeast extract just like Vegemite. Nothing to do with beef.

I think they’re all yeast extract spreads but they all taste different.

It’s a bit cold and windy today.

Wet & windy here. The girls were glad to get some sunshine.

Promite! What is that about? Horrid stuff. And Marmite is too... beefy or something.

to all of them.

Huddle up girls. Nope, not American football, warmth ladies, warmth!

They pretty much haven't moved all day. I put some of the layer feed in the bowl nearby and they scoffed it down!

This is Moon laying an egg. She's the only one that I've noticed that partially spreads her wings when she lays. She looks like she's doing Penguin impersonations.

Aww... look at them all huddled like they’re planning the next play of the game!
