Farewell and a hint of things to come!
Kevin and Sylvia set off for pastures new.
Adventures await as we know the terrain they are about to cycle through - some of the best bird watching country Spain has to offer!
Buena Suerte Kevin y Sylvia y gracias por todo el trabajo duro!
We were given 12 fertilised hens eggs - Castilian Black hens - which we are hoping to hatch to begin a new flock of chickens for eating. A friend has offered to put them into her incubator for us and then its just a case of wait and see...
The eggs are cleaned gently with plain water and then marked with a zero and a cross on opposite sides so that she knows when they have been turned. Here they are going into the incubator nestled in among some goose eggs.
And here is a goose egg that hatched just yesterday morning.... Welcome to Geraldine the goose.
Geraldine's egg was hatched in a box on top of the radiator! With careful attention and regular turning (3 times a day) for 31 days.
She is sooooo sweet! I do hope that our Mrs Goose is sittin…
