Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

It does seem like we simplified some things.

Apparently it was Webster that was responsible for most of the changes to the spelling. He thought that letters like ‘u’ in words like ‘colour’ and ‘honour’ were pointless and if an ‘s’ sounded like a ‘z’, then make it a ‘z’!

Why do you do this? What is a boojum?

Oh good, it wasn’t just me that was left scratching my head.

He is so lovely!! He looks like he has that wonderfully plush and super soft bunny fur.

He does. And it can get up your nose and be really tickly! Burmese are often described as a ‘brick wrapped in silk’.

But reading it won't make it any clearer - which is sort of the point.

"Fritter me wig" is such a good replacement for almost any swear word

Rocks-Anne sure is being a lap chicken today. She won't leave me alone. Want's to be held all the time. So I'm going to let her!

Okeedokee here's the eggs minus the first one we ate, laid on the 5th, which I think was Queenie's. However! Added in is an egg which definitely Queenie laid this morning the 8th. She started calling and went into the coop nest box while I was in the run putting new water out, feed, etc, within a few minutes of leaving it at 7:25am when I let them out! She didn't stay very long, I kept an eye on the coop after going back in and saw her leave about 7:50am. I went and checked and got it. It was still warm! That was very nice, to feel that warmth! She also had gathered together both fake eggs into a clutch, I had put one on the other end of the nest box to indicate another spot to lay. She pushed it back almost two feet.
The one on the 7th might be Hazel's. The 6th is Queenie's I think and I know today's is Queenie's.

There is nothing like the warm egg. from the looks you have 2 different layers. I think you can see the similarities and differences.

More of an addition to medical care. If I've got one in for observation then I was wondering if a roost might be better than the nest box or pet carrier.

@featherhead007 can you share a photo of what you use for an inside roost? I am also curious.

It's a TV stand near my bed mounted to the wall. Pic on it's way.
