What did you do in the garden today?

I have 4 out of 6 laying now, thankfully. Check this out - a torpedo? An egg?

Fed the alpacas and while they were inside feeding their pie holes, I closed the corral gate. Angus caught me and now they know something is up.
I'll go out after dark and herd them inside. It's like herding cats, but I'll not have them sleep outside tonight and get rained on, soggy and then comes the frigid weather.
They have the IQ of a turnip, and that's an insult to turnips everywhere. For that I apologize.

I walked .
That is what I did in the garden today.

Its been raining hard all week and I just found a hen sitting on a dozen eggs under some large composting mango tree branches. I put a piece of plywood over her, but I don't see how the eggs will hatch with all the rain. I wonder if I should see if they are alive under the light and put them in an incubator? I dread grabbing a sitting hen, because the rooster usually freaks out with them yelling.

If she is broody she can keep them warm even if it kills her.

Found my garden bed greenhouse thingy trashed by the latest rounds of high winds. The cover ans rods are still ok, just the plastic connectors. Not sure how to find the spefici types of angles and hate to toss the lot. Still cant find the plug ins for my lights. Very frustrating! Did take the snap dragon seedlings out of the tray and put them into a pot. They're so delicate and kept dying off I had to do something. Will hopefully start eggplant and pepper seeds today, but maybe tomorrow. Nasty headache wont leave.

And I was just thinking how much I'd rather have alpacas than horses....

Probably cheaper and much less hassle to just buy alpaca yarn.

Can anyone recommend a quality grow that that does NOT come from Amazon?

But not as much fun. LOL.

It looks to me like it may be a double-yolk egg. My friend has shown me a few of these (she loves chickens) and this egg looks comparable to the ones I've seen. Just a guess though.
