We think she is! We’ve gotten two eggs on the roosts so far and Lady Sandstorm never lays in the roosts! Best of all, we got two eggs yesterday! I’ll try to get some pictures in the next few days!
Lord Firestar has been crowing a lot. He’s also been dancing for his wives more than usual. I think they all know that spring is finally here!
We ate the two Lady Sandstorm eggs today! That means today was the first time since August that we had real eggs! They were really good and extremely orange! Pure happiness! We thanked Lady Sandstorm, of course.
She finally did it! That’s our first egg since August 28, 2009! That’s a long time to go without eggs. But there’s more: Chipmunk and her sisters keep sneaking into the Eglu and sitting in the nest! Maybe they’re going to lay soon. Yay!
Lady Sandstorm is an obsessed creep. Really. She doesn’t care what I do with her as long as there’s hair to peck. I would have been able to put that diaper on her but I was afraid of accidentally snapping her neck.
Even with her *ahem* oddities, she’s still very loveable and has helped me with many a blog post.
I tried putting the diaper on Lord Firestar today. That’s right, tried. Turns out he’s too big and feathery for the extra small size! Next I’ll try it on Lady Sandstorm. Hopefully it’ll work!Here’s a few useful chicken links:
Omlet is the company that created the Eglu (yes, that should be enough to tell you that they are great)! They also have a nice forum.
With more than 3,000,000 posts, Backyard Chickens is a great place to learn about chickens!
My Pet Chicken sells lots of chicken supplies!Well, I guess that’s it for today!
That’s right, diapers! Some relatives got me and Lord Firestar a purple butterfly extra small chicken diaper! As you may (or may not) know, I really wanted one! I’ll take pictures of it tomorrow! Cross your fingers that it will work right!
We gave the Seramas milk today and Lady Sandstorm drank a lot. Then her head got too low and it all trickled out of her beak. It was gross.
Oh, and here’s some weight statistics, cross-posted from blogger Plain Old Chickens:
Lady Sandstorm weighs 13.2 ounces.
Chipmunk is 15.6 ounces.
Egglantine is…. 8.6 ounces!
Funny little Eggie.
I have six Seramas at the moment. Two from Jerry’s Seramas and four which were hatched from said pair’s eggs. They are:
Yes, I’m going to post pictures!
