At the moment we have a broody chicken that has been on her eggs for over a week. I just found a goose nest yesterday and other chickens are starting to keep the eggs warm... Hopefully things will work out well and we'll end up with a gagillion baby chicks running around. More food for us. I hope the goslings hatch because I'm looking forward to a Xmas goose... with gooseberry jam on it. The turkeys are also desperately trying to mate and hatch out chicks, but as we do not have a male for them, it makes it very difficult for them to actually be able to make any new baby turkeys. We might put some chicken eggs under them to see if that works.
Also, Bugger will be ready to breed at the end of this month, Lucy aka Unigoat at the end of April, the sheepies are ready to go, and Digger is ready to breed. Sheesh... It's like the Discovery Channel around here.
I guess it makes it even weirder that our baby is due at the end of June... there is obviously a theme going on this year. We'll see if the ducks join in the celebration.
