Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

Oh Penelope just laid an egg, she hasn’t laid any since last Spring. I am so tempted to throw it under Henny, heavens know she is over 7 yrs old and I only have Dorothy from her.

But don’t even know if Mr P has been breeding her….

Worth trying. She may be easier to break after sitting on an egg for the 21 days.

For all those that incubate their eggs

Oh this is for Finches I see now why he was saying if one didn’t want to handle them tiny eggs!!!!

But still a applicable for chooks, though I think they say 7 days for chicken eggs before you see blood vessels.

Hmmmm wonder if there is a video on chicken eggs - must be hundred out there, anyone have a favourite one? You know, incase Henny grabs Penelope’s egg and steals it to hatch…..

It’s a really nice egg!

Oh I would also give her a Curly and Marty (whom I know Mr P has bred), and maybe Fluffy’s….. I know she can raise 4 easy….

Bad Kelly, bad RM…. Bad Rebecca…

I dated it…
And set aside Curly and Fluffy’s eggs from today…. Marty laid an egg yesterday but I don’t remember which one in my bowl was hers from yesterday - I have 4 in the bowl from the past week for her.

It’s 17C in the office here is that too cool to store eggs?

Bad Kelly - I’ll sleep on it….

Well, I got what I deserve.

I am eating my udon noodle outside and Honey so quickly snatched the giant prawn out of the bowl I was completely taken by surprise.

No more shrimp

Honey afterwards

Hey, I am innocent this time. But, if you are thinking along that route, 2 Marty eggs. Increases the chances of the desired pullet. Momma hen proved last year chicks can successfully raised in cold weather. Also, it is about time the older gals go on strike anyway from egg laying. If they are raising chicks they are not technically free-loading.
