Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[SimpleJenn]

Eggies are here!!!
One set is clearly labeled, but a mystery. I see a white "L" egg, I believe that is brown leghorn. The rest are unknown.
Here is the breed list in case anyone wants to guess


And...the other seller has labeled them AND provided a packing list!


Safely resting in the lizard cage for now.

Yeah, I snuck into her barn and lived there for three days. She didn’t even notice me. The horses did and so did the chooks.

That doesn't surprise me at all. I'm betting that you ate all the mealy worms to

You’d think that she would notice the airplane in her driveway, but she didn’t. It’s a Canadian thing I guess!

She's had her head in that rum barrel. And she thinks we don't know.

Thank you, you’re very kind to say this.

Penelope and her two ’sisters’ Blanche and Sophia, came to me from my cousin, they were her feathered friends whom she raised from chicks.

When my cousin moved up north she asked me to ‘please take my chickens for the winter’. Which we all know is code for ‘please take my chickens forever’.

Penelope was an old girl then and Blanche and Sophia are a couple of yrs younger. My cousin had 2 other hens with Penelope but they were killed by a fox, so she got 2 more chicks for Penelope to have friends.

I have hatched out daughters from these three (Dorothy is Penelope’s daughter, Tippy is Sophia’s, and Rose is Blanch’s daughter).

I have no idea what breed they are. Penelope laid a very light blue egg, and both Sophia and blanche lay olive coloured ones.

Penelope and her egg daughter that Henny Penny hatched out. They were having a grooming session.

Sophia - she went broody at age 5! Had never been broody before or since, she was such an awesome mama.

Blanche and her lovely beard and whiskers.

And a portrait of the three old ladies. They always got the best roosting spots.

Great pics! I love them all!

Am I supposed to let these run empty overnight then add the eggs and reset the countdown in the morning?
I know the eggs need to sit pointy side down for 12 hours before incubating, to make sure the air sacs are in the right place. I was going to let them sit overnight and set them when I get up in the morning.

I wanted to be a "singing vegetarian" because I couldn't pronounce vetrinarian. Or a dinosaur.

I wanted to be a race car driver. Almost got there.
