I’m sure we have predators in the area, but we’ve never had them in our yard, run, or coop. We have two mean barn cats and three dogs who guard the property pretty closely. The coop and run are themselves within our property fence and the run is covered. None of our birds have ever been harmed. Idk.

My wife wants to put a WiFi camera in the coop.

Liza seems fine. Maybe none of the eggs were viable?

I have no idea. We don’t have predator issues at all. All my birds are fine. Whatever happened must’ve happened to the others that went missing a couple of weeks ago.

Update: just checked the nest. All the eggs are gone. :( There was a single partial shell and nothing else in the coop or runs. I should’ve taken them from her, I guess.

Her nest isn’t easily accessible, either. I have to kneel under a big wood shelf. I’ve been just checking that they’re all there, but Beyoncé has actually been sitting while Liza eats and swims, so I haven’t seen them in a day or so.

No I’m too lazy

That’s my whole issue. I have no clue.

@thumper650 congratulations!

Okay, good. Yeah they both seemed completely content. Beyoncé is a very gentle hen.

This is Beyoncé, my Buff Orpington. Liza isn’t upset about her being on the nest. They were actually kind of snuggled up before I started taking pictures. The eggs are intact and fine.

wtf Is going on here?

I had nightmares about the lost baby all night. Sometimes I hate farm life. :(

Okay, I checked the nest after she got up to have a swim. There are still three. Two are very dark, which I assume is the color of the duckling showing through. One looks more like it was recently laid, so idk about that one. I guess it could be just a really light duckling since they’re SA...
