Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Glad your neck is a wee bit better. And glad Ms Rietta is with her friends.

Make sure you take you pain meds

Imagine having to sneeze while your neck and shoulder hurts and cramps up. That’s the way it is for me today

I’m surviving. Little bit better today but still feeling a cramp. Hen-Rietta is outside being a chicken. I think she likes being with her friends

Apologies if it has been said before. If you have calcium pills I would pop one in her. At best it can help her expel what's left of the egg, and at worse it won't harm her. I'm hoping for a good outcome, I know you are very attached to her .

What dosage strength do you use For the calcium pill?

So I lucked out and found a feed store with chicks. Made a quick trip there as Raven was about ready to leave the nest box and any chance of her adopting more chicks was running out. She has had them for 2 hours, I'm cautious but think she is going to take them. There have been a few pecks but not aggressive. She is encouraging them under her. She did this when she adopted the single chick last year and Chiquita did the same with the Marshmallows. I will feel better though tomorrow morning. It just so happens that today is 2 for Tuesday, how convenient.
First the 4 she hatched out.
2 blondes

2 uncooperative black chicks.

Now for her adoptive chicks
2 Wyandottes, gold and silver laced

2 speckled sussex, most excited about these 2.

2 Barred Rocks...alex they are probably fake, makes them even more special.

2 Americaunas or easter eggers. Yup, I have went to the dark side. Aurora would be proud.

You will love the Speckled Sussex. Abigail would have made a comment, but she is too busy hatching wooden eggs.

Two-Fer Tuesday

Felicitas and Gaby say, "Go away, nosy boy!".

Really wanted a roo though!

Just as well if I am keeping Rico. The three silkie chicks belong to my friend so any hens would go back to her, minus the Roo I would keep.

So guess just as well they go back to her.

Ohhh I got that all wrong well darn. I am sorry, I do remember reading that back when you first got them.
How is it if you want Roos you seem to get none but if you want no Roos you end up with a bunch?

There is a reason I have a pullet called Nosette
