Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Update: Little Xzit finally got up off her feathered butt, and went under the porch with the other chickens. I'm not allowed under there (Jaffar won't let me)

My girl Princess sometimes lays more than one egg in 24 hours. I first just thought I was mistaken so I have been paying close attention and she sometimes lays eggs about twelve hours apart. I know they are hers because she is in a separate crate from the others for nighttime, and that is where she always lays her egg. None of the others ever lay an egg in there. Also, Princess always lays a small light tan egg with faint speckles.
I worry about this because I know it isn’t right.

What breed is Princess, Kat? I keep losing track of everyone's flocks.

I think I might try to reset her. That just is not right.

Yes, my reading and understanding was that they create heat while metabolizing. And couple that with not being able to keep cool easily...

I feel fortunate that we generally cool off a fair bit at night. Because my girls are still so young, I worry about restrictions foods while they are still growing.

I do not advocate the strategy I was describing, not at all...

Thank you for sharing this. I was worried in my lack of experience that somehow I was doing something wrong. I do hopes he sets herself right. Same with RC's girls and of course mine too....then we can all look back in a few months and breathe a big sigh of relief

I'm so glad you can feel relief.

That was a nightmare. He's been under supervision all day today.

My closest neighbours came out and cheered on his return.

No worries, I wasn't about to do it - just had run across it in my readings

Sure, (blame the messenger)
