Good save!! Now let's hope she keeps settled. My fingers and toes are crossed!It is still sprinkling outside but no storms.
Maggie showed up this afternoon in the duck pen during a heavy shower. Went to look at her nest. A branch from the Catalpa tree had split and was weighing down the Scotch Pine limb over the nest. Water was pouring into the nest.
I scooped up the eggs into my shirt tail and an armload of pine needles from the nest and ran for the coop. I put the eggs and nest material in a bucket for safe keeping. Threw some wood shavings into the white barrel nest box. Then arranged the needles into a nest and laid the eggs in the middle.
Had to catch Maggie with the fish net. Put her at the entrance of the barrel and she walked in and talked to the eggs. Gave her a bucket of water outside the door of her barrel and a container of food just inside the entrance. Reduced the area of the portable pen around her barrel to keep her close to her eggs.
I've checked on Maggie several times since moving her. Sometimes she is on the eggs and sometimes not. Last time I checked was at 9:30 pm. She seemed settled...hoping she stays on her eggs thru the night.

), ever since I put the cream on, or at least once it kicked in, no more tingling. Or way reduced. It was mostly one part of one particularly bad toe anyway. SO. I think it MIGHT be athletes foot rather than full diabetes yet which is good as that’s easier to treat BUT that really scared me into wanting to change. Cause my blood sugar has been pretty high like almost prediabetic for like 2 years and I have changed NOTHING. In fact, I have gotten WAY worse lately. Especially since my birthday or before but especially then because of all the birthday cake because then a week later it was also my Mom’s birthday and then we had some Easter cakes too that we didn’t cut into until like way after Easter lol so it’s just been so much cake and ice cream lately. I keep buying ice cream. And idk, I just need to get like REALLY serious. I do not want to have my foot cut off or something. But it’s hard to. Idk. I have tried before and even the treating the athletes foot but everything I do I start for like a few days or maybe even a week but then I always stop and revert back to old habits and fail.
