Ethel, my little bantam mutt layed six beautiful powder blue eggs and, by my estimate, they were to hatch in the next 4-5days. Went to check in on them this morning only to find them gone without a trace. I'm thinking maybe a snake. I'm a little heart broken about it and our Cochin roo, Sparky, seems to be on high alert today.
After she had some breakfast Ethel went right back to the nesting box and plopped herself back down. Will she continue to sit and lay a new clutch? Should I see if I can hunt down any eggs for her to hatch? Aside from snake proofing im not really sure what to do.
