Chicks

For the last few months we’ve had a broody hen who has been living in the barn sitting on no eggs, but recently, whilst she was up eating the other hen has been jumping in the nest and laying eggs! Last night Steph decided that she had sat on the eggs long enough and was going to throw them away so that we can start collecting and eating the eggs again. Whilst she was collecting the 8 or so eggs, one of the cheep’ed and upon closer inspection it had a crack and from inside you could here the chipping away of the shell. We quickly rehomed the eggs and hen into a rabbit run (to keep the chicks away from cats and hawks). Fingers crossed that the chick managed to get out of the egg last night, we’ll see this evening.
I also assembled the saw bench last night, still don’t have a top for it, but I put together the frame and much to my surprise it was level, square and solid!
