MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

Peggy is up and taking a drink.

So I've taken the opportunity to grab a photo of the eggs and to remove Ivy's egg from the nest.

When I gave her the one marked 4th Jan, it was on the far right. So she has most definitely been moving the eggs around.

I'll get another photo next time she's up.

No but I can hear her. I'm sitting beside the box and I can hear her talking to her eggs every few minutes. Maybe that's when she's rotating them?

I suppose it could be. I was surprised at how they clunked around when Sydney was moving them. Now when Phyllis moved them I think she was more gentle. I don't remember hearing the clunks.

Thanks Bob. Very helpful.

It's a weight off my mind!

Go Peggy!

Every time something goes right, I feel a little happier about attempting a hatch

I assume she picked it out from an image search?

Ok, so not one of your original ladies.

No. I have photos of them somewhere... I'll try to find a few.

Looking at Dora with the benefit of a few more years' experience, she has a Marek's look about her eye, don't you think?

Or trauma? One of Chickie’s eyes was permanently dilated but she should have been vaccinated and I had her for 18 months.
