Day 183.

Bush eggs: three. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: three-quarters full.

I must say, Paula’s really pulling her weight in the Big Egg Push – it was Brian who came up with the name and then we all had a sort of bragging session about the biggest eggs we’d ever laid and about how long we couldn’t walk properly after. Feathers, it was funny! We were all staggering around doing sore egg hole impersonations when Jack came over and asked what we were all doing. “Nothing,” we all said, and cracked up when he walked off. Ah, brought tears to my beak.

Steve’s chick is growing well, which is good with winter approaching. You need them to have quite a bit of bulk on before it gets really cold or they just don’t thrive.
