Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: half full or maybe half empty – I can’t decide. Number of terrible things that can happen to vulnerable eggs: infinite.
I went to check on Steve again as it is not long to go now. She was shaking flies off her head, lots of them buzzing around. I didn’t like to say anything but there is definitely a whiff of corruption around that nest. I hope everything is all right but I fear the worst. It is such a worrying time for everyone (not that you would notice from those indifferent chickens that Steve calls family).
Lovely spring day today but still cold. Got a bit of a chill in the dust bath but Jack has snuggled up to me now so the warmth is creeping back in.
