Title: False Labor? Post by: mldeed on 05-Apr-10, 08:24:12 PM Thought Beauty was acting like one of my Great Aunt's old hens at egg-laying time this evening. Watched for nearly an hour. Starting around 7:00. Very encouraging twitches and rustlings and carrying-on. And then Beauty left -- no egg. . . I did note that her departure came soon after a fly-in from Archer a little after 8.

I believe it's a work in progress...she's spent far more time in and at the nestbox today than she ever has before... |
