My birds arrived at the end of April and have been busy ever since.
My nest check today was amazing. I have 15 gourds offered, and all are full.
There are 68 chicks, from pinkies to some maybe 18 days old, and two nests with theee eggs each being incubated.
My flock is so “happy,” relaxed, and interactive with me this year.
There’s a “rest of the story,” all good news, but it will have to wait until Thursday.
