Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

Ok we have several people on here who are wonderful with names. I need your help. I want to give a special name to the chick I had to help last night. I cannot use Lucky as that is what dad calls Momma hen half the time. I already used Clover who was the first chick me and mom assisted. So give me something in the "lucky" theme.

She has not and the very same thought occurred to me as I was watching her this morning. I believe that her molt may be coming soon. She was irritated all morning and prior to now she had been rather calm since the new ones started mixing in. She came over and yelled at me for a while this morning and her feathers are tattered.

I am not surprised she shouted at you if you called her tattered. How rude!

Updating the Wall

I have spent the morning updating the wall of photos in the dining room.

Looking at this photo, I need to get my level out. I'm not very good at eyeballing them.

Awww. Some wonderful pictures there!

Boy or girl? Or not sure?
Felicity/Felicia, Destiny, or Fortuna for girls maybe?

It is only 12 hours old so no clue. It did not hatch out with huge feet or a huge comb, but these are not pure Marans. If we can make it to about 3 to 4 weeks old with no wattles, then I can call it.

Acorn(s) are considered a good luck charm and could be used as a name for a boy or girl. Also, Itzal its a stretch for the luck symbolism but cute for a boy or a girl. It means rainbow lady in mayan culture and rainbows are considered lucky by the Irish.

They protested for several hours yesterday and only 3 ended up using the box. This morning I have been forgiven. Notice the favorite box though, Raven did not quit this morning until she had cleared most of the cushioning I had put in the nest. You brat, I did that so a egg would not break.
