Three weeks later she reappeared > and had been sitting on something like 25 eggs on top of an alfalfa bale in > the goat barn rafters.
Cute!! I just love her contented momma clucking! :) Last weekend I found a meadowlark nest in the pasture--I almost stepped on it, managed to find it again. There were 4 very newly hatched babies and 1 egg. I fenced it off so the horses (or I) wouldn't step on it, and I've been checking in every day since! There are 5 very large babies in it now--they grow incredibley fast, so I'm sure the mom has been working hard to feed them. She had such a nice, hidden place for them, w/ a little bower of grass over the top. I added some extra grass stems to help shade them a bit better. Hopefully it's shedding the rain right now! Robyn
