Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Everybody dance with me now and sing.....

Owly's checking out the nest boxes, Owly's checking out the nest boxes!!

Yay!!!

Pink eggs pink eggs ! Or green…..

Bert and Betty are absolutely adorable and are making me want chicks. Each of your silkie girls need a hug from me, especially Wee Miss Marty.

She’s to scary for me to hug

Hahahaha! she terrifies me!

Yay!!!

Pink eggs pink eggs ! Or green…..

Blue, Green, or Pink at this point I do not care. She wanted in the porch box. Goose is currently occupying it. That did not stop her from climbing on top of Goose and sitting beside her for a few minutes. First time I have caught her checking out nests. Please Owly, use the porch boxes. I do not want to go on a Easter egg hunt for the Easter egg.

I think she will be hatching for more towards the end of the school year, last year the chicks hatched 8th of May.

So I guess counting back then likely around mid February I would have to separate them - gosh ! That’s the coldest time of year here I might have to house them with Hen House B at night. It might be a might bit chilly for them in the Summer House at night.

Mid February, bring Mr Silkie here, and by mid March they should be ready to get to work, start getting eggs collected first of April…. Set them in the next couple weeks.

Yes the broody factor will be the risk, Henny shouldn’t go broody again till next Fall - she has done that since day one. Marty usually only a couple times a year, but her fragile eggs has me worried. And then there are Fluffy and Curly. The brats, who knows when they might decide to go broody.

Breeding horses is way easier!

Better to plan now....and find out when she wants the eggs to hatch....

He's is such a little love.

My cat and dog has warmed me up when I've been going through cold and painful times. They are invaluable at times

He kinda stinks, but I don’t mind, he’s probably thinking the same about me! I just wish he could open a can of soup

Please take care of yourself Alex.

As said plenty of fluids and if you can broths... They are quick and simple to make up and some can be stored to keep you going through your weakest time

Don't make the mistake I did and buy lemsip the sweetener in those things are a bacteria and made me feel much worse

I’m listening

Onions and garlic helped me through with a lot of pepper 🌶

Hahahahaha

I had to go and see what the young lad Notabitail was talking about - ‘henpecked’.

How did you do that?!

Ummm - not sure - somewhere in my profile I found I could edit it. Not sure I could find it again!

Floppy’s beak

I got a look today and maybe it’s just a scratch on her beak. I can feel it when I run my nail across it and it isn’t stopping her from eating

I also see she can use her beak trimmed/filed a bit. It’s not level a bit cross beaked.
