On another note, I have 3 silly broody hens now.Makes gathering eggs to ship out early next week for a swap nigh impossible..the little hoarders. Yesterday while Archibald (NN hen) left her nest for a water run, I watched Honey (Buff Brahma bantam) roll a few of Archie's eggs a few inches away (in the "community" nest box). Archie apparently never noticed or felt like sharing (a good possibility since she was struggling trying to cover 10 LF eggs
), because last night they were sitting pressed against each other, incubatin' away. Honey has a rep for being an egg abandoner, so we'll see how long it takes her to be bored with motherhood this time.![]()
This post made me giggle!! I can picture this in my mind
