MJ's little flock

[LozzyR]

I didn't see anything out of the ordinary when I closed Mary's door for the night. Maybe she was a little more alert than usual, but I couldn't say for sure.

I hope I can share good news in the morning.

 

[MaryJanet]

thank you.

It's a bit stressful.

Watching and waiting from afar with everyone

Rise and shine MJ…
we are all waiting …. …..hoping for good news

No news is good news?

I can't hear any peeping. I took a quick sneaky peek under her by tilting her slightly and saw two whole eggs.

Mary's alert.

Zoomed in.

 

[MaryJanet]

My seat seems to be just the right distance from the nest to give me a good view of what's going on while keeping Mary focussed on her job.

She's been checking on the eggs.

I hope neither her instinct nor her old lady body let her down.

Counting a few brooding successes.

There's a well set up brooding section in the run.

Mary wasn't harassed by Peggy at any time.

No ants in the coop (except for the two I squashed the other day - I assume they parachuted in).

Mary has been kept cool on hot days and warm on cold days.

I'd better count my mistakes too.

I dropped that Welsummer egg (but perhaps it would have cracked open anyway).

I gave Mary crumbles while she was sitting which may have led to her pooping the nest.

I didn't keep the hen on the eggs when cleaning out the poopy nest.

This post is so quintessentially you MJ!
I would just like to point out more successes than mistakes, also I am not sure the last couple are actually mistakes.

I can't help thinking things through and writing them down!!
