i appear to have had a bit of an accident

fanks snadge .... is now hoping if they all hatch that they aren't all girls i soooo don't have enough space for 15 full grown egg laying chooks lol ... will be happy with a couple ... and hoping one of the silkies is a girl .... and some yummy chicken dinners

You big fibber!!!!! Go and wash your mouth out with soap and water right now! You do have room for 15 laying hens .......................... you just lose a bit more of your garden that's all and you'll just have to have lots of omelettes instead of roast chicken (though omelette with veggies and gravy doesn't seem quite right does it?)

Woohoo - another week to look forward to of shoving my phone in my pocket and sneaking off to the loo at work to have a peek in the Vine and see if they've hatched yet.

Last time round people noticed how long I was spending in there and someone asked me if I was feeling okay

lol well you have 3 weeks till they start to wonder if you're ill again ... although there is kitten birth due before the chooks

Sorry to steal your thread and your thunder Lynda, but ................................. I did it too! It's all your fault! Anyway, I've just won 6 Black Minorca and 6 Black, Blue Jersey Giants. I like the look of the Vorwerk too, but there's not enough room in the little incubator I've had hidden away for the last month

I went for the Minorca cuz they look pretty and the Jersey Giants cuz they're a good dual purpose bird. Grow-my-own Christmas dinner this time? Hmmmm we'll see

[lynda66]

well if you can get them to send the vorwerks to me for tuesday/wednesday, i could incubate em for you cos mine wont go in till then and i had a look at the voreworks they are gorgeous

[lynda66]

oh yeah and it can't be my fault, i wasn't hiding an incubator

[lynda66]

this one was on purpose .... i have style me
