Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

Yes, lets hope I don't have @RebeccaBoyd 's luck with boys! It is one thing when I order straight run (keeping a few boys, rest get processed) It is harder when they are from my own 'kids'.

Keeping fingers crossed for all girls!

I just happened to see a link to this article over on Facebook. My first thought was one of trepidation when I read the headline, but then I read the article and thought it could be a good solution, except that there are hundreds of thousands ISA Brown boy chicks that are 'disposed of', and given that this farmer grew out his rescued cockerels for 147 days instead of 42, that's a lot of room that boy ISAs are going to be occupying! If it becomes part of the solution, along with sexing eggs before they hatch, that would be good, it would definitely better than what's happening now. 'Shredding' is the reason I stopped eating shop eggs.

Great article! Gives me hope if I ever decide to hatch chickies again.

Torch. Can you burn it safely rather than risk touching it? Be sure to research before you do.

I also want plant tax from everyone who has participated in this conversation.

Tina was first out and too the food this morning, she pooped more than a cow pat but now she's straining to lay an egg.

There's corn on the cob ready when she comes out.

I don't want to upset her but I really would like to oil her vent

Princess waiting for the corn on the cob because she knows it's coming the minute Tina comes out

After oiling her she forgot about laying an egg and zoomed in on the corn.
She had her thrush cream first thing before eating her breakfast
