    Default Wood duck boxes

    Took my son out to freshen up some boxes to teach him it's not all about killing. Need to put back when you take out. Had a few boxes holding eggs. Y'all been seeing hens sitting?

    Yea last week I had a hen sitting on 10 eggs already
    When in doubt, shoot him again!

    Work like it's all up to me, but pray, like it's all up to him!

    I cleaned out and repaired close to 40 boxes a month ago. One had a dozen eggs sitting on the bottom of the box without any bedding in it in mid February. I checked 4 yesterday, and all had full clutches in them.

    I watched a pair circle, and circle, and circle until Tuesday hen pitched in the box. There are several.other boxes on this place that need attention.
