21 days later.....

....and no eggs hatched- This my fellow farmers and farmerettes is a bad sign! My delightful granduncle must have killed my developing brood when he killed power to my incubator! Old people and their fear of "the electric" will never be overcome methinks!

After a long wild wet poultry free weekend at the "Electric Picnic" festival I came home to find all my stock alive and well and considerably happier and content looking. Maybe by doing nothing I would be a better farmer, or more likely, the fact that we have moved to a new premises! I now have a large shed for my feathered stock and hopefully (fingers crossed) the rats and other such vermin wont find us!

Money wise I managed to sell my beloved old ex military land rover and can now fund the purchase of more stock! I did make the mistake and blow most of it on attending the above mentioned weekend but lads, I did need a break from all this hard work I'm doing. So, talking to a fella today for day old broilers and should now have a steady weekly supply of about 30 birds!

Also, to your utter amazement, my poultry has made me there first few yo yo's. I wont embarras myself by astucally divulging the financails but there was somebody out there who taught my hen ark was a good idea, and even went as far as paying me for the privilage of owning it. Now I have got a message a couple of days later complaining that the hens I included have yet to lay an egg but fingers crossed... And anyway, I have my money!!


Yours,
Poultry in Motion,

Jamie
