Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ChicoryBlue]

Could it be an apricot of some kind? The bark looks like the "prunus" type things. We had two apricots, one died, it needs a second to pollinate. So it mostly never had fruit (one year something DID pollinate it and there were tiny, barely edible fruits). It got fairly wrecked one winter so we've just cut it down. It bloomed before the leaves, very early in the Spring, they looked similar, and they were fragrant.

@rural mouse Or something in the almond family which prune/apricots are in - like a russian almond?

Bush not tree, but prunus family shrub, maybe, viburnum, maybe....need to put forth more effort to figure out what they are. Have the row on the north side, and 1 large on the south side, and apparently a new seedling amongst the boulders.

Googled pictures of russian almond look like bushes, especially the dwarf type does. Various info here, says it is a "suckering" plant. https://www.google.com/search?q=rus...BDIGCAcQRRg8qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

It is hard to argue with miss Know-It-All.

Apparently we are to check back with her in about 6 months time. She claims she will look like her and be another green egg layer for you. She also demands when she is right, she gets a whole box of raisins to herself.

Actually highly likely from the same breeder of you got her from TSC, they likely get them from Hoovers also.

In front of the coop, where I would hand feed Sir Jaffar and his ladies, I found this today. Guess they missed one sunflower seed!
