Chicks

Last night I didn't post because I went out to an Indian restaurant.  It was quite late and after our busy weekend I just needed my bed. I took a picture of my starter because it was really colourful.

As promised here are my new chick photos.  Twenty four hours old. They are Marans and eight of them have hatched. I've now set some Legbar eggs and some Khaki Campbells.  The chicks will take 21 days to hatch and the ducklings twenty eight days.  I had said that I wouldn't be hatching any this year but here we go again!

One of the turkeys has gone broody, although they sit tight none of the eggs hatched last year under them. However in the incubator I had 100% success and so did a friend of ours.  The other problems with the turkey sitting is that she collects all the eggs that the others lay.
