This morning Cookie took a break from her eggs (and super dad Bails took over egg duty) and she looked like she was trying to bathe in her water bowl so i got her out for a mist bath. She DEFINITELY was looking for a bath, she got saturated.

And under all the wet feathers i was surprised to see that she's plucked her tummy to better warm the eggs. I knew this is normal, but when she's dry you can't see it at all so i didn't realise she'd plucked her tummy!

After her bath and a quick cuddle she went and took over the eggs from Bailee. We're all looking forward to when the babies hatch!

Cookie looks really wet, all clean now for her eggs! Her tummy is very bare, but she did it for her little eggs, so that is alright! :thumbu:
