Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ribh]

Lovely flock!

One of the hens at my house has odd sized wattles too. I think it must be quite common.

My Patricia had oversized wattles & comb. I always thought she looked rather like a rooster.

There's a lot of genetic diversity in legbars, isn't there? Hopefully it leads to a hen with fewer susceptibilities to reproductive problems

There is and they are not supposed to be prolific layers. They are fairly new in the world of chicken breeds as well.

@RoyalChick how frequently does Minnie (or Dot) lay an egg?

I'm surprised you didn't try for Japs. They have the lovliest curved shape plus a really jaunty tail.

That was a good read!
Maybe I can learn from you in dealing with Dotty who still attacks my ankles.

@RoyalChick how frequently does Minnie (or Dot) lay an egg?

About 3-4 times a week. They did a run of every day for a couple of weeks in the spring but mostly I get one egg from the pair most days and sometimes they both lay on the same day.
Dotty got up at 1am this morning to lay. I have no idea what that was all about!

I keep with me at all times this little blue rake, I use it as a blocker, wiled it behind, left, right, where ever Bob is it is between him and me..... at least I try,

I know that feeling, I try not to bore my friends with chicken stories!

I excite mine with chicken stories. Maybe you aren't telling them well.
