First eggs
Posted: Saturday 3 September, 2005
Well, here we go!
Our friend, Carol, has bravely given us four Maran eggs to incubate for her. She has two Maran hens (in addition to lots of other Black Rocks) and a Maran cockeral called Malcolm. Carol has very kindly offered to let us try out the incubator with her eggs - I hope we're successful. Day 1 was 2nd September, so we'll be all a-quiver towards the end of the month as hatching approaches. We did get a candling lamp with our incubator kit, so I'll try that to check progress.
The incubator is in the guest room. It's quite noisy although you get used to it purring away in the background.
I'm going off to watch the "Tales from the Green Valley" now. And to check on the eggs!

I shall be watching with interest when it is time for the eggs to hatch. I hope it is very successful, there is nothing nicer than watching just hatched chicks do their "thing".
