Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

What a cr*p day! Work sucked! And then come home to 2 missing eggs and 2 covered in egg goo. Im really starting to think black ops is the worst broody ever! Very disheartened. Again

Is it possible that something is eating the eggs & it's not black ops at all? Hope tomorrow is a better day AussieChics!

They were fine this morning when I checked. All avounted for no breaks. Only rats would get them but I doubt they would trin broad daylight with the cat around. I was feeding her some scrambled eggs while she was nesting when spotted the younger ones and hot very angry. So I gave her a curtain. Well she very much dislikes the curtain as well.... sigh

Commiserations , I've had crows and possums take fully formed eggs. We've had so much rain that the 2x momma hens turned their pen into a mud bath, I found a chick lying , seemingly dead in the mud. When I picked it up it gasped for air. Took it inside and gently blow dried it up to heat. It's cheeping away under the heater in the bathroom, waiting for dark now to pop it another chick under ' chicken little ' who has been sitting on eggs for some time and the coro hen stole them from under her.
Found a coro chick smothered by an over zealous hen today also. The joys of raising chickens.

Thankyou for your kind offer Vehve. I'm currently trying to visually decipher a photo that looks to be Winter War troops and I suspect may be my great grandfather. There's not a lot to go on, just their uniforms, insignia and a little writing on the back.

That would be an interesting picture to see. I don't have any pictures of my grandfather from that time. What does the back say?

By the way, here's a collection of wartime photographs that our army opened last year. I think they take additions to their collections too.

At least I'm not the only one with chicken woes. If a crow got in I doubt it would ever get out. Or navigate once in there. See what the next few days bring I guess.

Lol, the crows here hop into the coops walk out with the eggs and fly up into the the trees to eat them.
Operation ' relocation ' completed. Just hope ' chicken little ' doesn't turn on them tomorrow.
While we were outside , just on dusk there were little ' little forest bats ' flying all around us. Hope they don't eat chicken.

Unfortunately everyone has stories of chicken woes. Goes with the ownership of fluffy butts !

Rats will operate during the day too and would your cat get the eggs? Crows are really smart too.
