So I have Miranda the broody Wyandotte sitting on some silkie eggs. Here’s hoping! Yesterday I found her sister Mercedes squeezed in with her. I have been wondering how the other girls manage to lay eggs in that nest with Miranda sitting on it. It’s a good thing the silkie eggs are easy to identify,...
