Hatching Day

1/9/2011

0 Comments

 
Our Barnevelders are pipping away at those shells and right on time too, they are a very noisy little bunch - I can sense a troublesome generation here!  Hopefully by the morning we'll have 15 fluffly little chicks waiting for us, but, as the saying goes 'don't count your chickens...'  There is one particular egg giving us cause for concern at the moment - It's started but not done anything else for the last few hours, and there are one or two that still need to get themselves started.  This is seriously an exercise in patience, something at which I am hopeless - it drives Mark mad!  I can't cope with not knowing - birthdays and Christmas are agonising, admittedly I am worse than the children for hunting around the house for hidden presents!  
 
Any way back to the purpose of this post, the chicks.  I'll post some pictures of our new arrivals as soon as possible - which means I'll post pictures as soon as I manage to take some decent photos.

    About Us

    From city slickers to country dwellers. My husband and I, along with our three wonderful children, moved down to Cornwall six years ago. We gave up decent jobs, went back to university, took on an allotment as a bit of fun and decided to keep some chickens. 

    Now, we have grown our hobby into a smallholding, it's hardwork, but, we're loving it!
