DOVE egg

On my birthday I found a dove egg laying on the ground next to the rock my dad carved out to make a birdbath. Was nothing I could see wrong with it, I put it back but don't think she will come back, probably was her 1st egg. 

If this was the little dove I saw earlier this year, I am thinking it is the baby of the two adults I have seen around here this spring. Earlier I noticed a bunch of feathers next to the chicken fence where I have seen the two doves sunning themselves. So I am thinking that the "mama" dove got eaten by a hawk, daddy, and the baby dove escaped.  So will keep watching to see what happens with them. I heard them calling to each other the other day, and they are sticking together.

More CHICKENS

I have now recovered the chickens that I gave my friend down the road because she decided not to keep chickens now for a while as she is working and her new job leaves her no time. 

So now I have 12 chickens and 2 guineas for all the colored fresh eggs you could ever want. I now have a sign down at the mailbox that states we have eggs and the neighbor down the street took 10 dozen and 6 (1 1/2) dozen cartons of eggs to her church today, she will help me sell them and get people started to know where they can come to get eggs. She also is texting all she knows to let them know where we are located. 

I hope we get a lot of people because, at this rate, we get 12 eggs a day if all are laying. I think the guineas are male, no eggs from them as of yet as far as I know.

Hummers

We have HUMMERS now, they showed up yesterday. I was standing on the upper deck dogging the black wasp which are all over when the sun shines and it gets quite hot on the upper deck with no roof overhead to help cut the sun. While standing on the upper deck, I was bussed by a hummer, who then got in my face as though to say "where is my food". He scared me as I had been waving off the bees just a few seconds ago and out of nowhere here comes the "hummer". 🤣

So now I have put up their food in all their spots that they seem to come back to each year. I had already made their food about one week ago, I just thought it was about time to start seeing them. 

So I was ready kinda.
