Sylvia lays her second egg

We checked the nestbox this morning to find a second egg. We're all very excited about it. The birds have been eating okra like crazy, which is good. We make it a habit to feed them greens and not just seeds.

Philip is starting to come around. He's not as nervous as he used to be when we first got him. We lined their nestbox with a substrate, but they immediately removed the material to replace it with the ones they have gathered on their own. Apparently, they're very picky when it comes to nesting materials.

Yesterday, we were looking for good brooders for the chicks and found some interesting materials. Will post them later.
