Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[knoturavggrl]

I spent some time this morning in the coop. I found my layer its Flour!

Some of the higher ranking girls kept coming over and chasing her out of the spot she wanted to lay in (barely accessible back corner of course!) so my two Azures Snicker and Doodle guarded her so she could get the job done. They stood there for a good 10 min stock still apparently silently announcing thou shall NOT pass! I got a picture its dark but still sweet enough to post.

The results of the shenanigans:

Very cool having her besties guard the entrance!
She is stunning looking and that is a beautiful egg.
I hate to be the person who asks this because Bob will tell me I should work it out using my guide book, but I need a little help; what breed is Flour?

The wind is gusting aaround 20 mph / 32 kph today and the metal roof is still on the coop. So far so good

I do feel for Bernie trying to keep the Math Majors under control.
She just ran towards Eli who simply levitated and landed the other side of her.

She might need to check in with Aurora for some advice!

Good to get it tested early. I had to come in because the wind got too much for me.

If I remember correctly Flour and the other white girl are Moss Eggers. I am not entirely sure of the makeup of the breed but I do remember they are at least half if not more Marans breeding.

She is a Moss Egger A mix like Easter Eggers and Olive Eggers meant to lay a specific shade/color egg. They lay dark brown 20% of the time or Moss Green 80% of the time.
I don't know the exact mixes they used to get them but its heavily on the Maran side.

Sugar and Powder are also Moss Eggers.

Excellent memory, as always!

Flour is stunning looking! It is so sweet that Snicker and Doodle are guarding her, but where is Oreo ...
