As it happens..

By Mullet

It's a miracle!

We are plagued with broody hens and have no cockerel so no fertile eggs, but in the dead of night I swapped the infertile eggs with fertile ones that Treshnish very kindly gave me. That was 22 days ago and we were watching the hen today, listening to the little cheeps coming from under her and she literally looked ASTONISHED when she saw her little chick for the first time! At first we thought she was going to kill it, but she seems to have settled with it now, fingers crossed! There are more under her so hoping to get a glimpse of them tomorrow.
Have had a bit of a Blip break the last few days as was away at a birthday bash and a funeral and forgot my SD card.
