She was beautiful.

@BY Bob, @CrazyChookChookLady, do you live in a BroodX cicada zone? The 17 year cicadas just about to emerge. I think I do, but I don't remember being inundated. I am thinking the chickens will have a lot of fun if they do surface. Will be video-worthy.

Yes we are. When we put in the pool we tore up the yard and that really dampened the cicadas last time around. I expect there will be plenty more this time and some really happy hens. I can't wait.

Good morning and Happy Mother's Day to all of you beautiful ladies!

I am over 300 pages behind...so sadly I am just going to start from today! Once our kitchen remodel is finished, I hope I will be able to keep up better!

Fortunately momma duck escaped. They can do another nest somewhere safer, I hope.

A fox likely would have eaten her. Where was Mr Duck?

Yes, where was Mr Duck indeed. No sign of him since she started sitting. I hope she gives him a piece of her mind about his incompetence in nest site selection and general inattentiveness to his family. Hopefully Mr Duck will learn from this!

I really hope I am in the zone - hoping to get some good video!

Yes she was!

A church friend asked me if I wanted his whole tribe of laying hens. Sadly, I’m up to my eyeballs in chickens now, but three of them may even be ones from Canna’s original brood. Cross between BLU #1 (BLU’s brother ) and Canna. I’m tempted, but rational!!

Maybe he’s just a deadbeat dad and a quack?

Sensible decision.

Perhaps just take the 3......
