Penelope is very striking looking!

Doesn’t she look severe ? Like some very serious judge

Dakota spilled the beans! I caught her laying her egg inside an old animal carrier out in the yard. I counted 24 eggs in there! Float test revealed only 6 didn’t float. Any ideas on what I should do with the ones that floated? ???

There is a hawk convention taking place above the Chicken Palace. This is not good.
Yesterday there were 2 (or it may have been 3) calling all day and today at least one is left.
The main conference feature appears to be a collection (there must be a nest) of Gray Catbirds (or they may be Northern Mocking birds) in the large Tulip tree that shades the Chicken Palace.
This is really not good.
The Cat/Mocking birds are really making a rukus and just now I witnessed them mobbing the hawk to move on. It stayed hovering over the field in front of the tree for some time.
The main focus is clearly the small birds but I don't like them hanging out right above the Chicken Palace.
Yesterday was too hot to go out and today nobody has any interest - they are very aware of the hawk sounds.
I am hoping if the Princesses hang out in the Palace for a few days the hawk won't transfer its appetite towards them.

Good news in the midst: you know the mockingbirds will sound alarms and drive them off and the Princesses know it too. Hopefully they will alert to the alarms other mockingbirds now.

Compost?

I personally would just toss them all; with the heat you’re having the eggs are likely spoiled and they wouldn’t be salvageable for setting likely.

Sneaky gals!

Compost?

That’s one possibility. I crush the shells and feed them back to the chooks
