Just tested positive for Covid. I thought it was a medium-level cold. So here I am at home, instead of at my middle kid’s/ older daughter’s 40th birthday party at the ballpark, watching our local minor league baseball team.

Grumpity grump grump grump.

Is it possible that old who stopped laying don’t have the urge to sit anymore. ?

Not in my experience and many others beside to the point that some I know only let the most senior hens heading towards the end of their laying sit and hatch.
The is some evidence that some breeds are prone to late broodiness; Marans have this reputation.

Oh, that’s terrible; I’m so sorry!

- it does seem to be quite mild, not even a fever. I’ve had it four(?) times now, and it’s mainly spent reading in bed, surrounded by used Kleenexes.

This marks the second time that (per timing) I caught it at the first rehearsal in the fall of Symphony Chorus. Maybe next year I’ll finally think to wear a mask. 120+ voices in full song will spread just about anything.
