I am doing well, your Majesty. How are you doing?
Enjoying the warm weather. Watering trees, cleaning tanks . . . . trying to make amends with a hen who is quite miffed at me.
One of my ducks started setting, except every time she left her nest, the chickens would sneak in and lay eggs. The duck ended up setting on five duck eggs and eight chicken eggs.
Hubby was not happy to hear this. Then when a second hen started setting he had me throw out all her eggs. She's been glaring at me and making unhappy hen sounds for two days.
This morning I marked all the eggs in the duck's nest, then took the chicken eggs out and put them under the unhappy hen. She was happy to take them.
One of our neighbors lost all of their chicks to a house pet that got out of the house. It sounds like the chicks will be spoken for. Hopefully it all works out.
Now, you see, I'd have thought you would be the one to pick up on the handwritten postscript.
Oooh a party!!!!
