Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

These are Bernie’s eggs.
The first two are at the top. Her most recent egg is at the bottom on the right. I think maybe she is stabilizing on a dark shade.

She may have tortured you by making you wait for almost a year, but, the wait was worth it. Lovely eggs. Eggs a hen can be proud of. That middle one looks like she tried to pull a Raven stunt. Add extra bloom so the egg looks purple.

I agree! Definitely she can be proud of them.

Oh, that last one looks like it has faint speckles, too! Welsummers usually lay speckled eggs - so she may at times lay some lightly speckled ones? Might have gotten a slightly dodgy paint booth from mom's side of the family.

I like the slightly dodgy paint booth effect

Wow yes that is a FLUFFY derriere!

Wow I love that middle hen in that last photo - I love the colours (P.S. @rural mouse would that also be a duckwing pattern?)

No. You've got the black tailed red with incomplete spangles in front, a splash middle left, and a golden wyandotte middle right. Like Jessica

Look closely at her wing feathers. They're laced (and freckled, although that's not a chicken term).

Winter oh no!

@Kris5902 have just heard Van is predicated to get a heap of snow, I hope you will be ok. Are you doing anything to prepare? I will think good thoughts for not much snow and an incorrect weather forecast.

Weather hope tax

Ah gotcha! Pretty none the less!

FYI beauties btw

Duckwing is difficult. Not sure if it still counts as duckwing if the feathers are split colorwise along the shafts but you can't see that unless the wings are spread. I THINK it's usually a different color from the rest of the wing feathers, but not entirely certain on that part either.

I got the snake out and released him a mile away from my home. Still on my property though. I will be absent for the weekend, just to let you all know.

All the new gals made their way into Red's pen this evening with no fuss or drama. I didn't wait to see if they went in the coop. The integration is going well so I'll not rush it.
