That has to be so scary, we live smack dab in the middle of the woods and during dry season we always know the possibility of forest fires, but thank the good Lord have never had one close. and as wet as we are now don't think we have to worry about any anytime soon. We have turned in a rain forest. I hope the fires are out and everyone is safe.

Wow, Farm Boy, I hope everything is okay where you are!!

Everyone's posted such beautiful birds. What an exciting time of year!

Right now, we have Seelie, our single Buff Orpington and only broody gal, laying on a nest of three eggs. She's been laying on a Muscovy egg for a couple weeks now and recently an Ancona, Blinky, has added a couple eggs.

I've marked all three and will collect anything added from here on out. I'm thinking of moving the new eggs back to Blinky's usual nesting spot.

Probably be a good idea to move newest eggs if you want ducklings from them.. Seelie is so pretty.
