Coming of age
Indeed yes they are big, though temperatures here are well below freezing and they are exceptionally good at fluffing themselves up - so they look way bigger than they really are.
Dotty has been laying eggs for some weeks now - though she has some kind of problem in that she doesn't shut off the poop tube when she lays, so her pretty little blue eggs are always covered in s**t and so are effectively brown eggs
Minnie however has for a couple of weeks now been teasing me on the egg front. Every day she spends ages in the nest boxes rearranging the wood chips.
Then she emerges and shouts the house down announcing the egg she has not produced. No egg from all that activity.
But yesterday she finally produced an egg. A teeny, tiny egg. Here it is compared to Dotty's egg (poop brushed off an hidden from camera) and Elizabeth's egg.
A robin would be proud!
Anyway, it is clear they are no longer 'The Little Princesses'. I now have a flock of 5 Princesses.
