Don't count your chickens...



Yolko sat on some eggs (went with some from the chicken man at Littlecote after she abandoned the hatching eggs) ...I wasn't convinced that she knew what she was doing...


 
 
 
 
Yesterday there was a perfectly formed little chick that just didn't quite make it :(
 



 Just got in from work this evening and lifted her up (not really expecting anything) and look what I found... :) (tried to rotate the pic but it didn't save)

 
I think some of the other eggs look as if they have some little cracks too...we'll have to wait and see..anyway..Yolko is now a Mum:-)
(anyone know what type it is? )
 
 
 
Queenie is currently looking dainty at the front, dainty at the back, and WIDE load in the middle....catlings due at the weekend I think ( at least it's 9 weeks from the doorstep cat-porn episode ) ...hopefully all will go well and I'll post photos as soon as they arrive:-)

  2. Ahh bless! We went with my granddaughter to a farm shop/cafe the other day and they had an incubator full of eggs. We watched some chicks hatch out and although she is only 2 she was fascinated (as was I may I add!!). I would love some chickens if I had the space.
