I don't care WHAT happens...

to make me feel like spring will come soon i put 7 eggs in my new incubtor. Only 16 days left.....so I have already had 5 days of watching eggs turn,,,,boring?
 
Lawn mower :lol: actually a pair of scissors would do the trick at the moment, but I'm inclined to leave that precious blade of grass as the cats might like to nibble it. :clap:
 
I'm getting more snow now - we have blizzards forecast for today, and then it's going to warm up and rain :roll: .

My poor cat is bored out of his mind with being indoors all the time - he had a mad fit yesterday and galloped about, hiding under things and then leaping out! I wish I could let him out, but they recommend keeping them in for 3 weeks at first. Sigh.

Saddly the alarm on incubator was going when I got back today so may have lost them/some of them.

This of course adds to the suspense of the next 12 days!!!

Hope they are all OK. Would like 7 hen chicks but probably either get no chicks or 7 cockerals[which we would have to breed up for dinner with mixed emotions over this....taste great but have to struggle to be so cruel.
 
I would be squeamish about eating anything I'd reared, but that's just me - can't you swop the cockerels with someone else?

I know one sheep farmer locally who won't touch lamb - which is pretty silly! :lol:

Like Paul McCartney boasting the other day about keeping old sheep until they die a natural death - doesn't he know that they lose their teeth and slowly starve to death 'cos they can't get enough nutrition from their food?

I get upset about people who keep their old horses who cant eat and can hardly stand and are definitely suffering because of sentiment GRRR
