Hers and Hers

I've got another broody hen, so now the eggery is a duplex.The first broody - the most tolerant little girl who was keeping the orphan guinea warm for a few days (that little keet expired after all) - is due any day, if she was successful.  Her attachment to a daily meal may have left her eggs cold for too long.I haven't really thought through the extra occupation of the the chickery, but I'll probably release the first set of chicks into the greenhouse jungle when they come.The new broody is the biggest of all the silkie hens; she's easily covering 9 eggs.The first broody has stuck to her daily break time throughout her term-  a new quirk, and the box inside the chickery has worked perfectly.  She comes out, eats, poops, and then creeps back into her box, talking to her eggs the whole time, which is adorable.  I'm coming back...here I am.
