so its finally our dear Lucys turn to become a mama. it didnt take her long to get broody, as i expected. she was funny, sitting on some golfballs til she laid her last egg then she rolled the balls out. a few days ago i added 2 brown eggs, one light one dark just to be sure she'd accept them and to up her numbers (from one) before we get the fertile eggs. today i moved Lucy out while i moved the eggs into our broody box whiich i then put in the place the white cupboard (where she had been) had been. she was not happy about things, took ages in her bath and refused to go inside so i had to put her in myself. hopefully she will be settled in there tomorrow.
the big house is all ready for Rita when she wants to lay in a week or 2!
Heres Lucy taking her sweet time in the bath
