Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

MOYHERS DAY

What do you make of this? I have never experienced anything like this before.
I went to collect eggs.
The box was occupied by a very comfy looking Piglet who unleashed the wrath of a thousand devils when I reached under her.
She drew blood!
Broody you say? Maybe. But remember she is the hen that gave up being broody when she figured it was interfering with meal times.
Anyway, I grabbed the eggs I could get easily and left.
Imagine my surprise when I saw the camera pick up this video immediately after I left!

I was worried why she was shaking like that but she seems fine and is currently bathing.
The egg is from Tassels (green) and has a rock solid shell. You can see where Piglet pierces the shell with her beak, but the egg only cracks open when Piglet drops it.
It is like Piglet was trying to prevent me from stealing it by removing it from the nest box!
How crazy is that?
They haven’t even eaten the egg yet!

Wow, that's interesting! Maybe she's pre-broody and thought she might be able to hide that egg in another nesting spot to incubate later? Or she was getting rid of it for another reason (stress, anger, confusion?) I don't know. How cool!

I have seen hens carry eggs under their chins and under their wings but never seen that crazy approach before!

The way she was jerking/shaking, it almost looked like she was cursing herself out for breaking it. " IT IT IT!!!"

I was worried there was something wrong with her but she seems totally fine now.
Even posing for Alex.

Actually, I used to love eggs. But lately since I’ve been cooking every egg dishes known to mankind, even scrambled for the chooks, I find that eggs don’t hold the same attraction that they use to. I’m selling some, giving away some, and while the laying season is here, I’m collecting eggs every day. Both my refrigerators are full of eggs, steaks, tofu . Never mind just maybe I need more friends to share with. Sorry for the rant.

Reminder ...
I'm over here and I am your friend. Especially when yummys are around.
