Good morning NFC...hope all is well with you! It is afternoon here....hubby is busy starting the construction of the new housing for the animals...hopefully the weather here will stay dry as he has to lift the existing stables roof at some stage..gonna take quite some time methinks!

Wow! I will pray for dry weather! He can do that??
I am the one who fixes things around here but not lifting a roof! Sounds like time to make a run to the Bakery or the Pub for a thank you treat. And keep resting, Suzie, you never know what might get fixed next! :-D

OGM, soo very true!

Yes he has been replacing the roof of the mill and the houses...he has replaced with grey slates...the tiles will be used to extend and repair the stable block...well, he has to do something when he isn't complaining about cleaning the animal houses..he is very versatile..

If I had money... iI would do the BYC family tour.
Kenya, Ireland, England, France.
I'd bring my hubby because he is good at stuff.
He can even cook -as long as it is grilled.

Come to France first! I can then come with you to Ireland and Kenya...never been to either before...I would so love to go on a safari in Kenya...can we call in on Egypt on our way back? I have always wanted to visit the Valley of the Kings...

You had me going for a minuter there. Someone on a local Yahoo chicken group believes this one, even though there are a lot of studies showing it is not true. Apparently there was an article on the internet in 1996 that said refrigerating eggs would hatch more females. The article did not quote any study or expert yet people believe it!

I would just be happy if most of my eggs would hatch. those rotten one exploding in the incubator are the worst...especially when you are manually turning them...

Yes...that smell is awful...one of my ducks came in to the compound with a thick green slime all over her breast..a rotten egg... .the stench filled the compound...

I believe the cold shrinks the testicles of the cockerels.
