Abigail is making this odd honking noise. Why on earth would she be doing that.
And I have lost it with youtube. They now want me to share info I do not want to share with them or wait to access "advanced features". I can see why Bob stopped using them.

I can't wait to see them growing up

Me too.

Eli is getting more nuts by the day. I think we are on day 13.
For the first time she responded to the chicks. I had picked one up to show it a supplemental food source to encourage them to be more adventurous. Naturally she screamed like I was about to murder her. Eli responded to the screams from her nest box. I have no idea what to think about that!
I could only get her to stay out of the nest long enough to poop all over my shoe and have a couple of mouthfuls of water.

Enjoying some sun and dirt

Still really cold and windy but those chicks are making the most of it

Yep she sure is a good broody! She will make a good mama one day
It's great to hear her answering the distress cry from the chick. My girls just ignore mine!

Some days that is all my gals would do. I think by Day 21 she will be tired of sitting, hopefully she will just quietly give up and join the group.

2 step authentication.

It sounds like she is panting - Rose did that to me once when it was very hot and humid - a real gurgley rattley sound.

Turned out she was over heated - I put a big fan in there for them since then when it is hot.

Please send some of your heat here it’s freezing! Not much like mid May.

I just got a Frost warning for tonight and my garden is planted. I need to cover everything with something!

Cursive writing should come back. It's so nice on my wrist compared to normal writing. I'm debating on whether I'm going to try for a child and cursive is going to be one of the things I'd like to pass on.

Frost blankets. My sister might have some advice. She has a thread.
