Should I buy eggs or wait it out?


pancake flat, glazed broody stare, little bald head... she's still in the same spot, but she had no bantam eggs - just 2 yolk covered blue eggs, which I took. not sure if the broken egg was hers, but I refilled the oyster shell and offered her some, she didn't take any. I'll give her some marked eggs tomorrow.

now this one ate several handfuls of feed - mostly picked through it for the corn, so I tried to pick up mostly corn from her dish. and she drank twice when offered water. I left her kennel door open when everyone else was out free ranging - and the pen door was closed for her privacy... but I don't think she got up. I say that because there is not a single poop in her cab, nor did I find a jumbo poop anywhere outside of it.

Zira hogs a corner nest almost all day, sometimes even skipping free range entirely. I might have a whole bunch of broody's by next week. even Peach is stealing others eggs and hogging a spot long after she's laid hers.

They keep dragging me into the woods. they wouldn't last a hour out here by themselves.
