Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

Well, sounds like I need a fall hatch then and have 2 boys. They would have the winter and some of the spring to grow up under the watchful eye and guidance of Bubba and Branch.

Aren't we a pair of enablers?!

Edit:Make that quartet...

Maybe between us we can create a relay chain and rive him up to you.

Better Idea. When she is ready set up a relay chain with a dozen or 18 eggs her way. She could have her choice of boys and hopefully a few girls to add in the mix.

I guess it is also time to let slip a secret that I have been keeping. Corona, she is broody, and on 11 eggs. A little over a week in now.

don't ask me how I got the eggs... she is in an awful spot... sorry about the poor quality photos..View attachment 3544234View attachment 3544237View attachment 3544238View attachment 3544239
These are the three infertile eggs
I think that the two fertile ones I grabbed were Splotches.

Might want to try and catch her and put her in a more safe location for the chicks, if they get wet then that won’t be good.

Also it will be easier for you to monitor her and make sure she is ok.

Get your horse trailer and get over there to pick them up!

Anyone heading that direction passing "near" my place, I would happily send along some of Cheetah's get eggs for Bob to build some hawk alert birds into his tribe too.

I wasn't able to count but there is at least 17...

WAY TOO MANY!!

Ok so you need to
1 - get her to a more safe secure location
2 - candle all the eggs, leaving only the ones that are all the same size (you don’t want them hatching different days).
3 - only 6 or 7 she will not be able to cover them properly otherwise.

Here’s hoping for some chicks
