Life After Death

I can still hear Nuch asking me....."Eric, where are the eggs?"I was all boo-hoo, poor me and friends were all asking where I might buy some new hens. At first I thought Nuch a bit selfish. I had just lost all my hens and all she was worried about was not getting free eggs for a while. So I said the eggs were all out on the road-side shop for sale. She didn't say "Well go and get them back in YOU IDIOT!!!!"Because Nuch is not like that. She just quietly said "Get them back in and see if any neighbours might have some incubators" "Ask Richard or Damian from down the road" Somebody round here will have one or even two. So shame-facedly I went and got the eggs back in from my road-side shop. Richard, over the road from here, had an incubator. It didn't rotate. So every time I was in the piggery I turned the shaft 90 degrees to simulate mother hen turning the eggs. And today I have three chicks!!!!!Notice their little water pots on the left. Designed so they can't drown and facilitating humidity. I have another incubator which I hope has not been too hot. It's been difficult keeping it at 37.5 degrees. I have 16 eggs incubating. 3 baby chicks so far. I'll keep you posted!!!
