Acorn in the Nest Box

And...innocent little Acorn stands by watching as this all unfolds. For some reason it never lost any back feathers; Puzzle seemed to think it was too little and should be left alone, or something! Acorn didn’t lay often, so it was always a treat to see it in the nest box. It puffed up like a teddy bear and looked so innocently at you! Maybe this was because it was an Araucana Easter-egg layer, but did not lay blue eggs! (We got the unusual case of “pink” eggs instead of blue—you can see one under it.) But Acorn was still an awesome chicken, and I wouldn’t have traded it for anything.
