Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[bgmathteach]

So, my 'littles' (27 of them) are now 3.5 months old. Lately a few of them have taken to roosting in the yew bush by the house instead of going into their coop (usually 5 or 6 of them).

Well, tonight there were only 3 in the Yew, and one on top of their coop - Great! Right?

Nope. I was putting them away, and the coop seemed a bit light on chickens. Couldn't get a good count, but definitely not enough in there. No idea where they went!

Well, the 'lady' that roosted on th coop attempted to dart back out of the coop after setting her in....I quick grabbed her and she shrieked! (Yes, I was intending to kill you...slow torture first, though!) Well, that shriek made a nearby tree start cackling.....

And this is what I found:

This was thee culprit that alerted me to where they were:

and she was like "what you doin' We like it here!

Anyone want to guess how many were in the tree?

Where is the moisture coming from? Where do you see the mold?
Is the moisture coming from their breath? Are they all closed in at night and could use some non-drafty ventilation?

My guess is all of the rain she is having. Let's see if I'm right

Evaluating all of the combs you see, who do you think is laying eggs?

I am getting beige eggs from someone. I thought it was Sydney but Hattie is pretty red too. I don't think Lady F is there yet but what do you think? I have not caught anyone on the nest yet. The eggs from over Thanksgiving weekend.

Wow, the first picture is calendar worthy! I also love Sydney's stance!

?So now you have a white ceramic egg? There was a white one on the nest, making me concur with CB because I thought Phyllis laid white eggs.

So, how many of the eggs in the two nests are real, and how many are fake?

I have fakes of all colors

That's awesome! Mine have had no interest getting into trees... thankfully as I have a lot of trees.

I would say at least 5 - likely 6....
