It’s official. Pearl’s broody hormones are turned off. Cracked welsummer egg left brood eggs in a second yolky mess this morning. Tonight she was free ranging with the flock. I candled this morning and a starter hadn’t progressed. So I pulled everything and pearl was relieved to be done with it I think. Cleaned the nest... ooo was it rotten smelling mass of straw. Yuck.
So today after work I carried Sunny Two from the run over to the flock who were in a stand of ash and brushy willow swamp. She had just finished a dust bath. As I put her down Junior was super sensitive moving away giving predator calls. I thought, “gee.” but then started to look around in the trees. I didn’t see anything but didn’t write that noise off. About 5 minutes later I heard and saw the crows chasing something big from our trees. I think a hawk of larger degree. I love those crows. I might get some larger cracked corn for them...treat them once in a while to keep em around.
