Babies in the House?

This weekend we discovered something very exciting in the aviary...two of the hens are sitting on nests. One nest we know has at least four eggs in it. The other--we are not certain how many. We know we are nerds to be excited over this, but our fish were supposed to reproduce. It's been a year. Our only additions have been because we paid for them. I still blame Shlomo and his obsession with having scavengers for this. Sorry, Shlomo. I do.

I know from recent posts you think this would be Pinot and Merlot, but not so much. They are inseparable, but have not taken to a nest yet. I will keep you posted. The estimated hatch time is 14 to 16 days, but it will more than likely be at least a couple of weeks after that before we see the birds.
