Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Gosh that egg is so teeny

If you had to guess who would you say laid it?

Havoc or Cardhu. However, I expect Havoc to lay green eggs and Cardhu hasn't been nest hunting that I've seen. She did crouch for Hector the other day, so possible. Whomever layed it, I'm glad she started so small.

I never really tire of watching them use their staircase.

That's darling.

I think in the U.S. even "retired" professionals here have to keep up their credentials and insurance if they want to legally practice at all. So free/donated services still cost somebody, usually themselves, money. It would have to be someone financially well-enough off, is healthy and who still wants to still keep their hand in because they aren't burned out. It's a tough situation, because there is endless rescue work to be done.
Local vets here may have a small percentage of their active practice to donate, or they choose here and there as they come across it.

Good general advice to Alex @featherhead007 but - I also got the impression that this person is not mentally stable and can't be counted on to hear what he says the way he means it...

Which cockerel is Handsome in that Gang of Nine, looks like he was #1? https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27318196 So who are the two contenders for second keeper? Among that group still?

Yes, the solid black one and the Red one that many liked (he should have the slatey-blue genes in him, it is the same girls/batch that they are laying.)

I agree about Alex and the neighbor - that was why the 'stand at the fence' was an option. But, I am sure Alex knows how to handle someone like that (even if the 'handle' is to hide on the floor so he can't be seen.

 

[bgmathteach]

But do the rocks and trees speak back to you ( in English)?

Ummm, sometimes mine do. And the rocks ( and tree roots) sometimes grab my foot - hard - when I don't listen to them!

 

[bgmathteach]

Hahaha ya…. 32 now.



Chicken math. Is now chicken algebra.

Nope, just following the natural log (i.e. much more accelerate growth rate than mere arithmetic or even linear algebra! But, then. @Ponypoor doesn't have any chickens according to the REAL chicken math, so she really wouldn't know!

 

[BY Bob]

Should clarify, the Roo not Alex….

Smart clarification!
