Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[SimpleJenn]

Happy Friday!

Some fluffs from last night, a big breese butt and a fluffy orpington butt!

Chocolate is a PARTRIDGE orpington!!!

Finally, I accidentally dropped an egg putting them in the incubator, noticed and put a layer of wax on and fingers and toes crossed. It has a healthy chicklet inside

Before wax

The bebby
The breeder said she has had them hatch with pieces of shell missing, as long as the membrane is intact. She hatched one as an experiment.

With chickens, you can’t leave anything to chance!

Just checked the barn cam and found this silly girl trying to get into the hay net.

I think it’s Little Mouse. Or maybe Daisy….

Yes as long as nothing is leaking out of the egg you should be fine.

Thinking positive good thoughts.

There's a lot I have to get done today and I have a helper (whose probably going to end up watching me and do absolutely nothing). I'll come on here later and explain what's been going on.

You are looking lovely Grandma

Beak noise methinks. I think it is clacking its beak.

It’s a ‘I’m making nest, and it’s an awesome one’ sound. You will hear roosters making that noise when they make nests for the ladies.

I call it chuckling - they seem happy when they are making a nice nest.

Ahh hahh! So now we now know who the culprit is!

I mowed the lawn this morning at the church. I just got home and my sleepy little town isn’t even open yet.

But the chicks are open for business!!

What's this noise? Watching them is so fun!

There is nothing I love more than watching the chickens go about their day. I notice something new every time.

I’m finding this hard to believe, but mama hen laid an egg today.
Her chicks are only a few weeks old and she’s laying eggs again?
What a prolific egg laying hen!
And she’s a little pain in the neck!
Is it time to separate her from the little ones? She wants out of the house so badly, will she be okay without them being with her? I’m letting them get fully feathered before putting them in the run outside.
