Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

So sweet, I’m having my daily cup of Coco at the moment. (She’s going broody I think, and I don’t want her to be broody)

Try having two at the same time... This is the second time for Curly!

Ok not sure who laid this teeny tiny egg that looks like a robin's egg. Buttercup lays an egg this colour, but I also have a 15 week old pullet who I think is getting awful friendly!

Rub a Dub Dub

We have been chatting about when chickens feel most vulnerable, roosting time for example. I also think that dust bath time is another. So imagine my joy when Betty decided to take a bath today. I was watching on the camera when she walked over to it and dug a hole right in front of it. This will be the closest dust bathing video you might ever see. She was still bathing after 1/2 an hour. She must be feeling pretty dirty.

Awwww! I need a frizzle polish to go with my frizzle silkie

Wow! That is a tiny egg. Such a pretty blue too.

Poor Tina has been in pain but she's eating and after I cleaned her bottom today and oiled her this is what she passed.

I think the medicated feed had a bad effect on her but I may be wrong

How old is she?

How old is she?

I don't know Bob, she's a rescue from a caged laying farm. She was doing ever so well but at the end of that feed change she changed, first her poo then this egg problem. It took days for her too pass it

At least the shell wasn't too thin

Yes I need to compare it with buttercups other eggs for colour, as it could very well be that 15 week old pullet, a bit young and very early in the year but I am finding anything goes with these feather friends.

I was hoping her not laying was a good thing. I'll check on her in the morning.

I've a good thick plastic bottle here, so if it snows they can have this with warm water in their coop
