I thought Elvis was acting a little differently this morning, sitting higher and more alert. When I just went to feed her I found this...
Elvis had moved her new brood away from the old nest, now just a pile of empty egg shells. |
and after a little patience I counted at least seven of these...
Let's hope they all turn out to be hens.
Meanwhile, the last chicks we raised, the two Cream Legbar hens, have made firm friends with the Polands (who they have almost outgrown) and were thoroughly enjoying a mutual dustbath under the chicken house today.
