Well the girls went home Friday just in time to go on Holiday with their mum and dad.They are probably splashing about in a pool in Cyprus as I write so it is back to normal for us,No little helpers with the Chicks.
We had a bad hatch with our venture into breeding Large Orpingtons with only 2 Black out of 12 Black and 6 White hatching.
We currently have 2 incubators full with 6 more white,12 polands and some of our own.Th e main incubator is looking good with all 6 White Orpingtons and the 12 Polands fertile so it really is fingers crossed this time.

• We have 2 sets of 2 White Japanese,4 Buff bantam Orpingtons and the 2 Blacks all doing well in the Brooder and all except the 2 Large Black Orpingtons will be for sale soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

TILLIE

The girls went home on Saturday so we have had to do all the feeding,watering and egg collecting ourselves again.

It is Tillie's Birthday today-she becomes a teenager-so we are going over to see her this afternoon.She has a new Pet-Bugsy the Hamster to show us.

We have had a couple of new additions-2 very nosey Buff Orpington Chicks and there are more chicks to hatch in the next week including our first Orpington Large Fowl.
