Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: full.
Camilla wants to wait until spring to lay her first egg – “to do it right,” she said. I told her she’d better be careful because she’s effectively in a race with Ella, Sylvie and Buttercup. Whoever lays the first egg has best chance of being higher up the pecking order. She said she didn’t realise that. What is Steve teaching her? Obviously nothing important. So I’ve sent her out with these instructions: practice nest building, eat lots of protein, and watch the other three girls like a hawk to see if they are making nests or waddling around like their fluffy butt weighs a ton.
