It must be Spring!!!

[Nicos]

Went to collect the eggs just now to find 3 of my 4 gals fluffed up and making dinosaur noises...2 of them sharing a nest!!!!

So....I have Bertha sitting on 2 eggs which are half way through being incubated;
Betty and Pheasant sharing one nesting box all fluffed up ( goodness knows who is sitting on what ..max of 3 eggs and a wooden one);
and poor Alice who has both boys chasing her round the garden for a 'quick one'!!!

Well that's one way of sorting out the egg mountain we were collecting!

It's getting like Benny Hill here folks!

[Nicos]

Oh- Pheasant has decided it's more fun to play with the boys!

So - had a quick furtle under Betty- and she's sitting on the 3 eggs laid today.
Think I'll leave her to it as I doubt Bertha's will come to anything now
( I managed to sneak out the wooden one!)

Best go and sort out another box for the other two to lay in for tomorrow...

3 cold eggs...they were teasing me the little rascals!!!!

[MaureenHall]

Sounds as if it's getting a bit frustrating Nicos. Never mind, it'll happen

[Hilary B]

They probably decided it was too cold for that sort of thing....

[Nicos]

Nah...I'm not bothered either way to be honest- but it's quite good fun whilst we have the boys - it seems daft not to use the opportunity! - mind you we're getting a bit fond of Au Vin and Paxo ( yup..they've got names now))

I'd be happier if the weather was warmer to be honest

Still- maybe 2 chicks at the beginning of Feb!

They probably decided it was too cold for that sort of thing....

Ha - yes- or maybe they preferred the idea of being chased by the boys rather than sitting still all day!

Poor Alice ? or lucky Alice.

[Nicos]

Well...she's as cheery as ever!!!
