Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

I wanted EE’s so bad, but I settled for my Rock garden. (No EE’s available at the time) FYI

News

A week and a half ago Mrs. Howell died during the night, leaving Maryanne all alone. After serious consideration, we decided that due to current circumstances it would be best to rehome Maryanne rather than bring in some flock mates. I don't know why I was surprised, but it was much harder to deal with that than with the deaths of our other two.

Today is the first day that Maryanne has been let out of her safety cage at her new home, about a 2.5 hour drive from us. She's keeping her distance, but it looks like things are going well. She joins a flock of six (she makes it seven)

This is Maryanne and DW saying their goodbyes.

While we are now empty nesters, I don't think we are forever done with chickens, but I also can't imagine we will find any that will be as affectionate with us as these have been. We truly miss them already.

I finally tried that vegan butter. It tastes like margarine and cashews. Eeeeeh.

Sorry to hear that... I had high hopes for it

I don't think you settled, your Rocks are so pretty and friendly. What would you do without your daily cup of coco? I'm not too disappointed about the mix up. In fact I can breathe a huge sigh of relief now. I was soo dreading their future of most likely potential reproductive problems. If I had set out to get EEs though, I would have gone with the bearded ones they had darn it. I know I am not striving for blue eggs, but if one wants to lay blue or green it will make Rosie super happy. I on the other hand will be super happy with a defective brown laying EE.

Maybe you could soon have “Green eggs and ham”?
