I don't have any eggs to collect. The girls are still on their winter hiatus.

Mine too! I hope to get an egg or two soon though

Hope springs eternal, right Ron?

Some day they'll surprise me!

I know!

they likely won't start up until mid February though.

Luckily I am still getting quail eggs!

I'd like to try those little things sometime (the quail). They look like they would be fun.

Pretty small but as they grow up they grow a ton of those heads on them (traps) I think you can get giant ones too.

I was thinking something more like this. I've put out a few of these so watch your step.

Barking Bracket got her chicks out today. It's still raining but Bracket had them frantically trying to keep up with her through the undergrowth.
Looking at her with her chicks and on her past history, she does in my eyes look a shockingly bad mother.
However, the chicks know the tribe given Bracket hatched them in the tribe coop, and when Bracket wandered off, the chicks gathered around Mag, Tribe 2's junior rooster.
It is a really strange thing to watch. Bracket does seem to remember she has chicks having moved off by 10 metres, or so and comes hurrying back.
I can't see the chicks surviving.
We did finally get all the chicks in at roost time. It takes two or three days before I can be confident that they will make their own way up.
Anyway, Here she is. She's such a lovely hen in looks and disposition, she's just a few cards short of a full deck.

So far so good Shad. Chicks are feathering in nicely.

Here is Lucy's first egg after her molt. I took a picture of it next to that inky winky fart egg from yesterday. It's still a huge egg for her to be starting back up with. It weighed 80g.

they are and they are so little when they hatch
