First eggs laid but the maggies are looming
Posted: 05 May 2013, 17:23
delighted to find my young hen (24 months old) finally settled and is laying on eggs....
the bad thing is,like siskins, these guys nest near the wire.
I noticed some maggies around the aviary and the birds were going bonkers.
I cut up an old shirt (donation from my trusty dog via the clothesline the night before) and tighly cable tied it to the mesh.
The birds are out of site at the moment
Do you think this will help with the maggies?
I hope so as I am pretty stoked to have the hen on eggs
