Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: quarter full.
Buttercup sneezed today and I must say it took a LOT of convincing from her before we’d believe it was just dust from the feed hopper in her nostrils. We haven’t known the new girls long enough to get all the facts about where they came from. For all we know they could have escaped an Asian Bird Flu epidemic and brought it over here.
Ella said that she couldn’t catch Asian Bird Flu because she was part Orpington, which is an English breed. I said, “What about the topknot? It looks very Chinese Silkie to me.” And she said it was all Polish. We just have to hope she’s right since we are all supposedly European or American in origin.
