venus went missing last week but she was the only one... since then we have sporadically seen her in the yard
she went broody elsewhere n we found her nest

she's sitting on 22 fucking eggs... 22

i know they stockpile some before hatching them in the wild. i'm curious to try candling them here in a day or two? i don't know how she's gonna treat them either. or how far along they are. she's my most skittish hen n also periodically would sleep in my neighbor's tree like a rugged individualist
i'm gonna have to relocate mercury and her children out of the quarantine coop i guess

i went out to close the big coop tonight n artemis was sitting on one of the ceramic eggs meant to try to encourage the chickens to lay in the coop
i haven't seen an egg from misfit in a while either so now i'm suspecting she's doing the same thing

i guess i run a chicken hatchery now
 
there was a big storm and something snuck up on venus. couple of her tail feathers were pulled out n most of her eggs got eaten
this is why rugged individualism doesn't work you just stockpile supplies for the nearest retard brute

if she tries this retarded shit again i am going to try relocating her in the grey coop mercury is currently in. in the meantime i dunno when whatever tried to snatch her dumb ass did so, but examining the scene i found 3 un-eaten eggs i have put into the incubator

i hope this teaches her to just go broody in the damn coop
speaking of, sugarbean is broody. and artemis.

i have named honey's grandson nilla (short for vanilla)

i'm trying to train the local crows to run hawk defense... i have seen them out in the yard right after i filled the bird feeders, hanging out with laura palmer and dale pooper. eating sunflower seeds n stuff together. i gotta start taking bird feeder pics they are swarmin' the feeders this year it's delightful

in the meantime, i am better at hatching venus egg than venus herself

I pray that God watches over you and your chicken family. No one should have to live in constant fear.
