Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

She's one from years ago.

That's a very unusual name.

It is a philosophy playing out today with my dear friend Lilly. She lays the rare egg but she is going nowhere.

That is a great shot of all her many colors.
I don't have one, but I do think black hens are particularly stunning.

It is Monday and as usual Maggie provides the best mugshots. I am rather taken with the wave in Maggie’s comb, I think it is quite fetching!
Also, here is Dotty deciding whether to launch another attack on my legs while Minnie tries to pretend not to notice what is going on.

Hi Allele.
That is an unusual name for a chicken - is there a story behind it?

The long story is that my husband chooses weird names out for naming children. While pregnant with my youngest, he had a lot of suggestions.
Like Socrates, Archimedes, Platyhelminthes... I cannot even remember the other things he offered up, it was all so bad.

The least awful was Allele, and to nip any other awful suggestions said if a girl, he could name. If a boy, I would name.

We never did have a daughter, so he was excited to name a chicken Allele.

The short story is that an allele is part of a gene.

He is a scientist and a lovable dork.

That is a comb worthy of smittenness!
I hope your legs and thumb and everything connect near and far stay safe.

That's a very unusual name.
