The Grandchildren Tillie & Emilia came to stay for a week on Friday just in time for the annual visit to Heckington Show.We went on the Saturday and we were a bit dissappointed with it this year.There appeared to be less animals and very few pure breed poultry than in previous years.Still the girls enjoyed themselves especially inside the giant balls that float on water.
We came back to find that we had another baby,a new born White Japanese Bantam hatched by Duchess.This morning there were 2 and Duke was crowing loudly like any proud dad.
Both incubators are full at the moment with Japanese,Buff Orpington Bantams and Dark Brahma's in one and our venture into Large Breeds with Black and White Orpingtons in the other along with a test egg from our class A Serama's.
