Is this peahen's nest good enough?
Hello I figured I'd post this in the hatching eggs forum because the peafowl forum isn't very active. I've got a peahen nesting on top of an old fountain. My concern is she doesn't really seem to have built much of a nest at all. She's just sitting in dirt. Will the eggs stay warm enough? I left...- SolarDuck
