Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

That is a wonderful idea but it would not work. She only buys and eats jumbo white eggs. I have 18 hens, all but 2 are brown egg layers. My 2 white layers, are my silke and game hen and neither girls eggs are jumbo size. She also will not tell me what she wants for breakfast until she is sitting at the table, that way she can watch me like a hawk and make sure I do not use my eggs. Funny enough though, I made a omelet yesterday evening for myself. She claimed it looked good and wanted half of it. I gave it to her and she loved it. I told her I used my eggs and she threw a fit on me. I told her that if I am fixing anything egg involved for myself or the rest of the family we don't eat store bought eggs so fair warning. Part of the reason she does not want my eggs is because I have roosters and they are fertilized. I'm sorry, I love my boys and they are not going anywhere. I even broke over and offered her a deal of buying a few white leghorn pullets so I could have fresh jumbo white eggs for her. Again nope, I would have to get rid of the boys for that to work.

Her loss.

By the way, Polish lay white eggs too.

But most of all I love that it has triggered sharing of chick pictures!

This is my favorite part as well. Thanks for that.

The weather here is horrible. Phyllis was so wrong this year. It was warmer the beginning of March than it is now.

I just put the electric waterers out again yesterday. Gross weather.

Wind chill in the teens today. Brutal.

Lows going down to 20 (-6.6°C) the next few nights. I will likely lose all of my Magnolia blossoms as they were about to open. At best the outer inch or so will be dead and brown when they open. It breaks my heart.

I'm so over it.

I hear ya, I was looking at my magnolia also, hoping it stayed closed enough to survive.

I think the peach tree might have issues though

I also plugged my heated waterer back in. Going to be -12c wind chill -20c tonight and snow snow snow darn it....

Yep so over it also

Truthfully, I should not have had to try and bribe her with white laying hens as I already have 2 that lay white eggs.

So your grandmother would have went into fits if she was told my hens eat snakes right.
