You're obviously not a sailor either. :gig
Maybe I could do a yacht, maybe… does it come with staff? I used to threaten to buy one and make the concierge at work (who I didn’t get on with) do my personal yacht shopping orders… lol 😂 and I shouldn’t talk as DH’s father left him a 19’ sailing dory and we may one day get her back in the water!
 
Let's Go to the Video

Is this hen broody?
She could be thinking about it. She is grouchy, but she didn't puff up or shriek. Has she started the broody ticking time bomb cluck yet? I know you have ceramic eggs, maybe place all of them in that nest that phyllis is in. If she does sit, let her sit on them 3 or 4 days to make sure before you swap them out for the real thing. Knowing that you will make sure she will get a drink and eat the entire time sitting a couple days longer then the 21 will not hurt her.
 
A thought on calcium & foraging

Could oxalic acid in leaves like dandelions work against calcium absorption? Just thinking in terms of human nutrition, that used to be an issue at least (as in spinach has calcium, but the presence of oxalic acid counteracts absorption, so hard to say how much calcium is really getting in?)
Yes I think so. But mine won't touch the dandelions and they cannot get to the rhubarb. Not sure there is much oxalic acid in grass.

She's not fluffing up like an angry pine cone. Perhaps she's thinking about it ~ or maybe she's just objecting to you interfering when she's trying to lay...? But then we know my broodies are all psychopaths.

She is in the prime nest box. I really need to move her from that box. No one is going to like her being in that box. Will she go along with a move if I take eggs with her?

She is sleeping on the nest.......
