Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Ok, she still just has the 1, and nothing yet from the other 2 eggs. And I messed up, she did not get 4 daisy eggs, she got one of Blueberry's darker eggs. In fact, now that I pulled the other 2 out into the light to listen to them to see if I heard chicks peeping, they could all be Blueberries.

It is a cute little thing though.

Adorable!

I'm sorry but I'm laughing at that. Of course she wants a Polish. You copied my Marans now you need to have some of these.

They really are marvelous chickens.

No, seriously.

They are great chickens.

Really. I'm not kidding.

I'm sure they are great chickens, but I feel the urge to joke and say "The day I get a Polish is the day you get a Silkie".

That is a great attitude. I'm not certain I could laugh about it. I'd be more like

I think my hens would agree with your reaction! This morning while I was cleaning the poop boards, Myrna kept jumping up on the roost and loudly yelling her displeasure in my face! I don't control the weather, Myrna!

Does this make you feel better about your weather? Taken from my outside run cam.

Had several inches yesterday morning....mostly melted off by nightfall

Our problem is that the snow from winter hasn't melted yet. I have been shovelling sled full after sled full of snow out of the chicken run, so fresh snow on top is not helping! The hens do love to clamber up on the big pile in their run though. It's their lookout! @Ponypoor has Mt. Poopmore and my girls have Mt. Snowmore!

I guess I have the Mt. steakmore, because that’s just what they had for breakfast treats. (The mountain is gone now)

That's awful.

I refuse to acknowledge this post exists. It’s almost May… the white stuff needs to be banished!
Edit to add: this one too

There’s a place and time for everything, but there? Not there, and not now! Banish the white stuff!

Good gamble. That might be true but I bet you give in before I do. Mrs BY Bob has not tried going down the silkie road yet with me. More Polish, Yes! Silkies, No.
