Yesterday I noticed Pearl out and about twice. She is the one that was broody and laying on those eggs to the point that they were rotting and smelling. I thought I would take the chance to take the last few eggs from her little nest. What had been like 15-18 eggs at one point had gone down to 5 because of breaking and it smelled awful. I knew they were not going to hatch but I didn't have the heart to take them away from her, I didn't want discourage future nesting in the future. I covered the nest with fresh hay and this morning she was out with all the others again.
I am also going to try to make this,
I have been saving my feed sacks. I have 6 so I am hoping it is easy to make. They are water proof and woven plastic... so I will use them to take to the store and carrying home food. If it turns out good I will post a picture... if not then you can assume it went bad.
