Starting to get a little chilly in the morning here. Not quite ready to use the heater yet, but close!
Sir Jaffar had been calling for me to let the chooks out for the day. They didn’t touch the squash I will feed them later

Had a 2 year old bull moose scramble across the road in front of us on the way to work. Small rack + scramble = lack of confidence > spent last winter with Mama.

No one hurt, obviously no pics either.

Need a complete list...

@Ponypoor still waiting on that list....

But, did the moose make it to work on time?

Well. I don’t think there is any doubt that Sylvie is broody.
She hadn’t left the nest in 24 hours so I hauled her off and put her in the run where she was immediately attacked by Tassels which feels a bit unfair.
The mystery is the eggs. I need to look back at my records but I am puzzled.
Sylvie had accumulated 5 eggs (all real).
The small brown one is her own. The little blue ones are likely Piglet. But if they are all Piglet’s then one is from today. So maybe one is from a new blue layer (Pooh or Calypso). Hmmm.
The mystery is the big blue long one. Maybe it is a strange shaped Babs egg. Or someone new laying.
These chickens confuse me.

In the second picture the brown one on top of the egg box is Sylvie’s from a couple of days ago, and the blue one on the far right is Babs from today. Next to Babs’ egg is the big long blue egg.
