So I have an eastern phoebe brooding under the roof of my chicken run. I went up to check the eggs a bit ago and noticed a speckled egg mixed in that belongs to a brown headed cowbird.
What’s the protocol on that? Should I remove the egg so that the phoebes have a better chance at survival or let nature be?
I just let the clover flower for a few days and then mow it. But yeah, I like what backedge is doing. Have a section dedicated to the pollinators full of native plants and flowers that you leave untouched.
