Agreed, Numi was 15 weeks before the buckwheating started. However she has started the playing house thing in the flower bed. She has a shallow indentation under the lemon balm she settles into. So she's comfy cool while Brodie stands outside of it for hours guarding. I can almost read his expression-"could you not pick somewhere I didn't have stand here in the beating sun or pouring rain?!" Around 4-5 p.m. she decides she's had enough and waddles back to the coop. No eggs though, and she's quiet. Mama has her own version of echo-location. She periodically calls out from her spot,& has tone differences indicating what she wants. There's the nagging to her mate, "I'm here on the nest alone bored while you're running around" to which Mia will raise his head and look, deciding if he needs to go back or cont.grazing. Then there's the frantic call, which sends him hightailing. When I call for them, she has a softer call, just letting me know she's there and ok but not ready to come in yet.
Still hoping the fence is up soon...lol.building the garden on an incline is great in that the rain runs down instead of flooding my plants. Trying to put up fence posts and make them level...
my poor husband.
