Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

I’m getting very few eggs.
So, please send me your eggs to PO BOX 3584- 912 Exeter CV California. Thanks

Stop by on your way home from Sioux Falls....and either get an incubator or talk one of your ladies into going broody

Good idea! And she'll be okay in the main coop and run with the others? Or should we keep the mini coop for them until ready to integrate?

Depends upon how highly ranked she is. One of the top 2 / 3, should be fine. Bottom of the ranking, use the mini coop

Can we guess who this is? Hint: she chose her own name by pecking at my iPhone screen.

Xzit (or something close to that spelling wise) LAY 1 egg a week. Just 1.

Bingo! It’s Xzit and she’s as sweet as ever. But no eggs.

I can’t get this out of my head: I was asked by a 16 year old girl, “are chickens really birds?”
What do they teach students in public schools these days anyway?

@Ponypoor
Here are the London Rockets.(Wild Arugula?)
Some are skinny...

And some are a bit larger...

They are very annoying and grow in your landscaping...

I saw your post once and you said that they call it Arugula where you are, and you want to try it with your gang. I did some research and I guess they are of the same family.

The upside is, they are good food for chickens!

Here is a close up of the leaf. Does it grow wild in spring where you are?

Can humans eat it to?
We have rocket in our salad mix and this looks similar

No, chickens aren't just birds because they make slaves out of us all.
What bird gets steak and all the goodies you give yours.

Princess had turmeric rice small Brockley, mushrooms, crumble, satsuma and cottage cheese for breakfast this morning. Bird be blowed

Genuine royalty here

Tassels and her purple eggs.

I had one for breakfast as well as one from Pooh. The ones I washed the other day.
Tassels lays an egg with a shell like a rock. I bashed it in the kitchen counter and it didn’t even crack!

What breed is Tassels?
That's amazing having such a thick shell

I eventually got in and it had a very thick white membrane. Peeling that back revealed an ever so slightly blue shell.
Not as blue as Pooh’s egg.
So I think that means the purple egg is indeed a version of green which means it is from Tassels because Sylvie lays a brown egg and that wouldn’t be blue inside. Right?
Pooh’s egg is front right in both pictures.
