Young Homer cock with 2 Roller nests!!I went out to the Loft to check on everyone and was surprised to see Luna's mom up in the rafters rather than on the nest. What about Luna???? Well, I'll be da&#(d!!! Calypso was setting on Luna ... rather than on his 2 newer eggs. This is the 1st time (that we know of) that Polaris has been given a break since Calypso's other eggs arrived 3 days ago. He's been relieving Atlantis on schedule...leaving Polaris with Luna 24/7. She seemed to be having a really good time jumping from perch to perch!!
So....he's really doing it! At less than 1y/o, he's taking care of 2 nests, 2 hens, 1 baby, & 2 eggs.....what a responsible kinda guy! There's still a long way to go for both Luna & the eggs, not to mention the 2 hens, - and we'll continue to hawk over them to be sure all remain healthy - but we're currently quite pleased that we didn't automatically remove his 2nd set of eggs.
