incubator and eggs ... daily update

[Hilary B]

My niece keeps two sheep in with her chickens and hasn't been bothered by a fox since she got the sheep. Prior to getting the sheep she had lost a few chickens to Mr Fox. She does have a large field though. Two sheep in my back garden would be a joke.

They are selling alpacas around here. If we had a garden bigger than a postage stamp I'd buy a couple. More fun than sheep (I've kept sheep...) and probably a bigger deterrent to a fox.

Oooooh. Could it be starting to hatch? You wait, there will be a frenzy of betting now to see who gets to name it.

[lynda66]

don't know ...... the blobs are in a line down the side of the egg, though no obvious signs of a crack

[Bephlam]
