Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Haven’t you been slinging samples at Bob here anyways? I’m kidding

You are on target today.

Here is Diana’s mug for Monday. She has her wings out ‘cos it is getting hot again.
She seems to have mellowed a bit since losing Elizabeth. Maybe she is still in mourning.

It is likely that she is. They will need time to mourn as well. Seems like she could use a hug. Her are out after all.

I noticed today, that my Hen-Rietta’s eggs, are getting longer at the tapered end. 5+ years old Leghorn (is it normal?) should I be concerned?
As of today, all the chooks, are happy and healthy. Chaco is doing quite well too. (She’s such a mild mannered horse)

I would expect she is coming to the end of laying. Lilly's eggs at 6+ years of age are downright odd looking when she lays one.

I was just thinking, if I was to move to the coast, would I be raising seagulls instead of chickens? I didn’t have any chickens when I was in DC. (Notice, I’m not in DC anymore) because of no chickens!

Doesn’t matter if she ends her egg laying days. I just don’t want to loose her. She’s been my friend for many years now.

She got something she values way more than a hug which is leftover hamburger and thinly sliced tomato. I sat with her while she tucked in. Everyone got some but I think she got the lion share.

19! Ten of which were Edwina's.
And here's me complaining that they weren't laying....

I'm surprised no-one tried to sit with that many eggs stashed!

I'm so sorry, RC. I've missed so much & didn't realise you had lost Elizabeth. I'm so sorry you lost a princess from the palace.

I'll have you know I have NOT posted a single poop pic!(Nose in air: why isn't there an emoji for that?)


Just with lots (look at the ground, and the perch/ledge)

The book I got on hatching eggs and raising chicks in fourth grade said that eggs get more misshapen with age if I recall.

SHRA ( I was trying to avoid paying one of these, usually I'm so good)
