Wouldn't Adam and Eve it.

Last week I did a silly thing, easy to do. At moment I have to operate 3 - 4 different 'Birds Out' exercising for various reasons. Have to trap in and sort out their compartments etc. I put the wrong cock bird into the wrong. Was three days latter when I realise that the hen wasn't sitting and eggs were stone cold. Thought ****8 etc. and was going to put them in the bucket I use to scrape out. Was off my favourite hen of 'Hopes' A grizzle which I'm destined it seems to have no luck with. had tried her with 3 other cock birds to no avail. Took to this one straight off so left tyhem together.

Then I got the cock bird back and he made a bee line and sat on the eggs.... Thought that soon abandon them in few days when they were suppose to have hatched.

Two youngsters hatched today!!! Would one believe it. Had seven hatch today.

earliest ever for me, usually just putting them together. Dad put his together in early March.
