I never realized how incredibly intelligent peacocks were, nor how loving or monogamous. Francis (yes, named after St. Francis) is laying on 5 new peacock eggs, and Albert (named after Albert Einstein) is hovering - making mating calls, following the chickens around and acting like a nervous father. It's adorable. He sleeps in the tree above Francis as to protect and look after her, and when she comes out, he follows her around like a little puppy.
We are into week 2 with the eggs - and I promise photos and a peacock update when they hatch!
Also, Missy, our best brooder duck is laying on 8 fertile duck eggs and they should hatch about the same time!
Spring - the time for renewal and birth - my favorite time of the year :)
