Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

What is with people jumping over themselves left right and center to break federal law and violate the Migratory Bird Act? And then other people just encouraging them to do it? One day someone is going to go to jail because they just had to take those eggs and someone just had to encourage them to do it. And of course they couldn't hand them over to a rehabber, nope, they had to hatch them or raise the babies themselves and break laws to do it.

Please don't mind my ranting. I've responded in the past few days to several posts of people asking if taking wild duck or goose eggs was legal, telling them no, having other people tell them to do it anyway, and then have those people proceed to now knowingly break the law. It's frustrating. Why ask in the first place if you intend to just go ahead with it anyway? All that does is prove to the people who prosecute you that you knew you were breaking the law.
 
Good luck to Joan!

I've got another pair of broodies.

Sorry about the bad luck at the flea market. I have yet to even make it to one this year.

I assume you found the pond on the other site? Going to be a busy week for me anyway, so I'm not sure how much I'll be there. But hubby will be gone a couple nights this week, so I'll need something to occupy my time.
I didn't

Well, I'm waiting for the first hint :pop
 
I've tried everything this year, from open in the coop, to partially blocked off, to blocked off mid-way, to full move 2 days before hatch, to full move right after hatch. I just had to go with whatever the rest of the flock was doing at the time, and adjust to what would work.

My problem now is my black serama has her babies in the run, none of the others are bothering them, so I tried to open up the white hen so she could bring her babies out, but one got killed. I suspect the black hen, but don't know for sure. I don't know how/when I'm gonna get them integrated.

That stinks .The older they get the worse it will be the hen should have protected it .
