Are ex-bats supposed to go broody?

[lynda66]

but but he should have made provision for that ...... we can't be expected to wait all day I'm wearing a hole in the carpet with all this pacing

[Rosie.]

the nerve of some people! going down to the allotment.... whatever next

we may have to wait ANOTHER day if they are late,

i really want to know, snadger must have a shed at the allotment he could set up an internet connection in, before we all faint from anticipation

[BrideXIII]

*pops in to check..............pops back out*

[Flummery]

Come on Snadge, don't keep us in suspenders!

[lynda66]

*twiddles thumbs*

[lynda66]

*twiddles toes*

[lynda66]

i reckon they have hatched, and he's been sat there all day waiting to catch a peep

[MaureenHall]

I had to go out all day just to stay off here!! Do you think he's got the kettle on and the towels ready?

[BrideXIII]

he is probrably on his knees talking to them and 'egging' them on to hatch!

[Snadger]

Thanks for the concern folks but it aint looking good! No discernable cheeping was to be heard so I took one of the eggs from under her and and it was 'sloshy' Broke it in the compost heap and it was just yellow stinky liquid.
Later in the day I took another egg and it was the same I'm afraid. I am gutted, not for myself but for her!
Didn't have the nerve to check any more so there's a slim chance???????............but I'm not holding my breath!

I feel really deflated, but because I am allotment Secretary I had to faff on renting a new plot, taking money, issuing keys and showing new dude around when my heart wasn't really in it.
As a consolation my other nine chooks all laid good clean eggs this morning as if to say " Hey, what about us? we're still doing the business"

Not a fairytale end to proceedings I know, but it's not over till the fat lady sings! Tomorrow is another day!

[lynda66]

awwwww maybe some will hatch gutted about the 2 though maybe some will just take a little longer it is nature after all.

[BrideXIII]

it is indeed, and if nothing happens, well, if at first ................try again.

[shirlthegirl43]

Bum, sorry to read that Snadger. Maybe some are okay though - fingers crossed tightly.

[MaureenHall]

Oh dear, I'm gutted for you. Is Mrs Tush ok?

[frias]

I think we are all gutted. This must have been one the most watched grapes. (Is that the right term?)
