Bush eggs: none. Nest box eggs: one – it was shaken out! Feed hopper: full. Frazzled chickens: all of us.
We were all just doing our thing this morning when the most unusual wind whipped up from nowhere. It swirled around and we all formed a tight, uneasy pack under the back of The Female Person’s big car. It lifted all the lovely grass seed, powder and stuff and dumped it over the fence on the neighbour’s property (so no more tasty grass seed snacks). We hardly ever get any wind in this lovely sheltered spot and to get a wind that was so violent and swirly – it really SPOOKED the lot of us.
Consequently, when the wind died down, I took my shaky knees to the nest for a bit of quiet time and an egg fell out!
