Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

First egg!

Betty laid her first egg! And she was so good at going into the nest box with Little Grey who then promptly stole her egg haha. But she has now joined the ranks of my Royal pink egg layers

Congrats Betty I am so proud of you.

*eye twitches* POPPET, dang-it Poppet look at this. Half silkie Betty laid her first egg at around 6 months old.
Yes I would hang my head in shame too.

All five eggs hatched! One of Bolt’s babies is blue with a beard! And they all look healthy!

Your pastor gets a big bear hug from me. What little cuties. What do we have here? Looks like a Barred Rock, maybe 3 Buff orps or White Leghorns. I see a chipmunk chick hiding in the back. That little one could be anything. EE, Speckled Suspect, Wyandotte maybe, who knows? Do you know what they are Alex?

I haven’t seen them yet. Just the pictures he sent me. I don’t know how long I will be away. But I called pastor this morning and gave him a crash course on chick raising (feeding, watering, warming them, pasty butt, And the other stuff.) glad I saved all the brooder things I used before.

So, I caved … this lone chick is just to sad I am picking these guys up this afternoon from a local breeder. They are Ameraucanas. She had bantam cochins too (deep sighh) but sadly my big roos would be too much for them.

@ Ponypoor - I called tractor supply and they said all their chicks were mixed up they had no clue as to the breeds or sex of any of any of them Then I called rural king who left me on hold for 21 min before I gave up. Hoover and Myers are not bad at all with the added bonus of knowing the sex but in the case of my particular TS and RK they are not we’ll organized at all.

EEEH! They are so cute!
It’s the season of chicks

I didn’t think that chicken math was real. Oh, how I was wrong. I think I have 22 chickens now.

I have seven guineas, and I bought 12 more. They will be here in June. They are fancy colors

Also, thanks for the synopsis!

Oh NO. I finally decreased my total flock number to 20 (2 roosters, 1 broody, 2 molting), so that adds to a total of fifteen laying hens. I got fourteen eggs yesterday...

And guess what? Well, I've got fifteen new chicks (that's what became of the pips). I've got to share some photos. Gonna see if I can sell them.
The seventeen are doing well. I am looking forward to the 12 Peavey mart chicks!

(THAT'S A LOT OF CHICKENS!)

Those three! Yeah i am a sucker for sure . The wee chick is absolutely lost all by itself she/he just sits under the plate. When I pick her up she seems strong and lively but without friends apparently she has decided to just stay put.

So, my plan to sell the chicks is nixed due to my fertilization rate and now assuming the other chick hatches I will have a total of 5 new chickens I didn’t need.

Bringing my total to 18 chickens. I planned to add NO new chickens this year!!!

Lesson here is even when you plan you still end up being hit with chicken math.
