Scary how one can predict these things! But maybe tell her 8 is a good number to hatch

Came home to this

One of yesterday's eggs is broken. Maybe Indigo will decide it isn't such a good spot...especially since she knows I know she's there.

You’re the mama. You must teaching them how to drink and eat. Show bonding with them now and they will never leave you.

Crazy chooks! I did a search of the barn the other day, just to make sure there were no hidden spots!! Don’t want to end with a stash like that!

I think I have a pesky poltergeist in my coop. I’m gonna need Mr. P’s help with that! Some eggs are moved around, and feed dishes are thrown all over the place.

Here is a handy hint for retrieving eggs from awkward locations, in case you need it!
Get a small can - an empty 3oz cat food tin is perfect. Nail it to the end of a long but relatively light piece of wood (I used those furring strips that they use in roofing and behind dry wall if the framing isn’t true).
It is like a giant spoon/scoop.
Works a treat. Don’t ask me how I know!
