She's been housecleaning & digging but not using spot she dug out. Today she dropped a shellless one. That happened twice early in season so I added a supplement from manna pro esp for egg development w/o further incident until today.
Either I humanize my animals too much (probable) or there's more to these birds than given credit for. So often what I read tags their key feature as not being very smart,not having memory retention. Lucy went missing 6/30,& Rosie hasn't been allowed to free range since. I spent the day cleaning the coop, was abt done, thought since she'd already dropped, it'd be ok to let her free for a bit. Phfft. Off she went, boys in tow. But I watched- she went to where Lucy's nest had been, in field behind us. Not even Nugget has bothered to go out there before.
From there she went to where her nest had been, out front in field south of our neighbor. Then they all came toddling back to the run.
I tried to record Blu saying "Barree" so you guys cld hear. I can hear it, but I think all you'd hear is the interstate (yes, we're living John Cougar's "Little Pink Houses"). Bothers me less than Himself, but it's where he grew up, so he remembers when it wasn't there.
