She layed #4 & #5 this week.

However today was very weird.. Bobbie was trying to sit on them. However he just doesn't understand how... he would roll them to his chest, then step on one & try to step on the other. That would cause them to roll so he would fall hehehe Then he kept rolling one to his chest & backing up.. he had his butt straight up in the air as he was too close to the wall hahaha

He still wont allow her near him, but he is opening up to her more & more everyday

#6 arrive this weekend.

Shes very thin
I'm moving 40km Jan 1st & the birds will be the first to be moved over. I'll be keeping her in a seperate cage after the move in hopes I can fatten her up as she'll have less space to move, no perch (its too dangerous for "her" to have one in that cage) & all her food will be within a hops reach of food on her plate (I have a plate on teh bottom to make it easier on her as shes gimpy

it´s been a while since first egg was laid... almost 15 days... eggs take about 18-21 days to hatch since they were sitted on.. usually when egg #3 is laid or so..

if you could candle them... (get in very dark room place lamp under egg so you can see "through".. this way you can make sure if any are fertile)... by this time you shoul be able to notice baby chicks or not....

if they appear "clear".. then they are definately just yolk, but if you see like half dark half clear it could well be a baby about to hatch

keep her on food... offer her egg... scrambled I´ve found they love...

Will do!

I totally forgot about the scrambled egg! I'll make 1 tonight & offer small amounts daily to help fatten her up. Hopefully Mr. Blabber Mouth will leave it alone, as he LOVES his new food & pigs out on it hehe


Question about Bobbie..

Hes ummmm really going at the stick in a VERY sexual mannor, I'm catching him doing that nealy every evening!!!! Is he doing that more often because shes in cycle? He still will NOT be friends with her, but she "wants him".

I did catch him chassing her off the eggs a couple times, & then laughed my head off while she ate & he was trying to sit on them.. He would put 1 foot ontop of 1 egg & then try to step on the other egg to get them under him. After he kept falling off the eggs (as they rolled under his feet) he tried to stuff them into his chest, but he didn't understand he needed to lift his chest up to get them under. So he kept backing up until he was tight against the wall & his butt was straight in the air HAHAHA

It was the funniest thing EVER!!! I couldn't get my camera in time though.
