Good grief how much did it rain last night! Our back grass is flooded! I’m going to need waders never mind boots!

Well I had fun today!

And I finally got a very unexpected egg from one of my girls who hasn't layed in over 6 months!

And in the kitchen sink! She looks so much better now.

I went to collect some quail eggs to incubate yesterday. I only went to collect 12 but accidentally came back with 36... oops Just don’t know what happened...

 

[CCUK]

I guess they kind of just ended up in there! Quails are so hard to resist! When are you setting them?

 

[Yorkshire Coop]

I have no will power!

Will set them tonight or in the morning. I’m hatching for the Easter Hatch a Long Got the incubator on already warming up....

 

[CCUK]

That's great! I love it 'no willpower'! Good luck with them. It won't be long and they'll be popping out! Who can resist the little fuzzy bumblebees cheeping and running around!

I will be the first to admit that I have non when it comes to animals! If the other half didn’t keep me in check I would have a menagerie! I’ve been looking at tortoises, skinny pigs and hamsters in our local pet shop.......... and I would like a few goats too........


I’m quite looking forward to these quail, been a long time since I hatched any

You've gotta get some pygmy goats and a donkey! There so funny and I've heard donkeys are good at keeping predators away.

Just found all three of my pullets huddling in a nest box instead of perching. Had to manually put them on the perch. My chickens are idiots.

Going to need an Ark at this rate! The rain has not stopped all day long

Young birds often take a bit of training. You could always block the nest boxes off just before dusk to stop them going in.
