All the puppies have been sold. They all had a trip to the vets today for their first vaccination. They didn't enjoy that very much. since then they have been crashed out on the sofa.
The lambs have been very funny the last few nights . Their new game is king of the castle.. we have a large muck heap which has dried out. They all get to the top and then try and push each other off. Dennis the Ram sometimes joins in!
The weather hasn't been great the last few days , I decided to bring the cows in. They were spoilt this evening with a lovely bale of hay. Even Teddy tucked in!
Little Katie is going really well. Her mum is very attentative. She loves all the other lambs too.
I
haven't been very clever with the incubator this month. Toby needs to give me a few lessons. I put 50 eggs in last week and only half have taken.
You can tell if its incubated successifully, by placing a very strong light to the egg if its clear like the one above then it is not fertilized. If it has a dark spot then it its . shown below. This can only be done at 7 days. This process is known as candling.
However the Walkers have just rung to say they had 4 chicks born today we gave them to go under their broody hen last time they came for sausages and parma ham. Good luck Andrew!
