Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Grandma The Chicken]

Isn't grandma retired?

She's been retired. Always expecting Old Man to come home with the money and then go spend it on expensive things such as Tom Ford fragrance.

I’d like to be unemployed some days!

Grandma and I can hang out together then

Well, you'll have an opportunity one day! I'm sure Grandma would love to visit Canada.

Checked the chooks while I was at it, everyone there is snoozing peacefully

They are not impressed when I go out there at 4:30am

Well that's good news.

I better keep my ear to the ground, and my nose to the grind stone, but then how am I supposed to work in this position?

Silkie egg update.

I found out yesterday that the first 15 that were set from my pen were candled on day 7. All 15 showed development. I'm so relieved to hear this as with young cockerels you just never know if they know how to do their job.

My group will be candled tomorrow evening. I'm hoping for very similar results.

Hatch day for the first group is next Tuesday. My co-worker joked with me yesterday that her sister has been telling each egg you will be blue, you will be blue. They are joking that since I want a few blue chicks, I sold them all in this first batch of eggs. I will end up with blacks and partridges.

I'm saying it now, if that happens....I will cry. I will also immediately load up the incubator for round 2.

I am very proud of you. I never got nowhere near this close with Momma Hen and I tried hard. I do not think she will ever be lovey dovey, it is just not in their DNA. She trusts you though and that is all that matters. Well done.
