Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I wish I'd gotten video of this even though it was a really quick interaction.

So every time I collect eggs I show them to the girls and tell them "good job". There was a Sybil egg and an Esme egg in the nest box this morning and of course I showed them. Sybil pecked at them a bit and then wandered away, like she usually does. Today Esme decided to try and roll them out of my hand so she could sit on them it was silly.

She's acting a little off this morning, doesn't seem interested in food and just stood behind my legs when I let them out of the coop. She doesn't seem like she's sick or injured, she's bright and alert and her comb and wattles are nice and red. Could she be wobbling on the broody fence?

Oh yee gads I hope not for your sake

So much worry with a broody - getting them to eat, drink, poop…. Being frustrated after 6 weeks of all that monkey business.

Hahaha! I'm nervous but there's no better way to learn than by doing, right? Plus I have all of you lovely people to help guide me through the process

She may just be having a blah day, chooks are like us

I hope that if Esme goes broody she turns out to be a good setter. That way when we're ready for more chicks I have a mama for them. Of course just because she's a good setter doesn't mean she's a good mama. But we'll see.

I just got wonderful news, this evening I will have a sensor. My co-worker's daughter is also a type 1 and uses the dexcom system. She just got upgraded 2 months ago to the G7 and has 2 leftover G6 sensors. She is sending them home with mom this evening for me. I cannot begin to describe how much of a blessing this is. This will also allow me to have 2 back-up sensors a month incase of something like another failed sensor happening again.

YAY! That's amazing!
