Be a Cheerleader!

At the moment the girls are all laying an egg a day, they each take turns to have some time in the nest boxes, mostly individually but sometimes in pairs.

The most distinctive “tell” that an egg is being laid is the egg song. Each girl chirrups away as an egg is being laid.

Sweetpea is the most vocal, Gloria the least, but if you listen the egg song is always sung.

However, overlaid on that is the fact that Sweetpea gets so excited about every egg she proudly announces if someone else is about to lay. She struts round, head held high, singing her little heart out about her friends efforts.

We should all be proud of our friends achievements, be their cheerleaders and make sure their efforts are noticed and appreciated.
