Hot damn, I got eggs!
Dimple laid a clutch of about 6-7 eggs today, and I'm stoked. I have been witing for this moment for 13 years!
No idea if they are fertile. Never witnessed a successful mating, so I'm skeptical. But the fact that she successfully dug a nest and deposited her eggs gives me much hope for future babies.
She's a good girl. She almost died of a RI several weeks ago, so she has really made a nice comeback.
I hope the location is good. The soil is very sandy, and bone dry. It gets full sun until about 1, then it is shaded in the afternoon.
Got my fingers crossed. Here is a brief video of her digging her nest.
