Okay - so the pictures are Copper - the EE Roo and the SS is the hen that I found with Wry Neck. She recuperated well. Sorry there was such a long time to wait because I knew each of you were holding your breath and saying 'What the?' the next-door neighbor came over to look at her wedding pictures from Saturday. My pictures weren't anything that special (like Holms does) but I was the photographer (scary.)
I had to clean out the nest boxes today. Rosey has been sitting on her five eggs since 6-25 (and it was probably a couple days before that even) and so that means hatching within 10 days and I wanted it somewhat cleaned up. She took it pretty well and when all was cleaned up she went right back to laying on the eggs. Good girl and such a nice broody. Of course this is ALL SIGGIES fault! Since you hatched earlier and posted the process and pictures I wanted to do this. Now, this afternoon, Rosey was out drinking water but then went right back to the nest. She had not been getting off the nest before today. I was feeding and watering her i the nest. Hence, stinky.
