Most of the tantrums I see here are about eggs and nests. The males whine and sulk while the females are rather, erm, loud.Today Lucky was having a bit of a tantrum waiting for the nest box Minnie was in. Does that count? Minnie was taking so long, I started to worry she might be in trouble in there. When she screeched at me, I understood what was going on and reached in and took the egg. Then I carried her clear across the yard and she shook it off. Sorry, sweetie. I don’t think we’re doing chicks this year.
