Hi Folks,
A day of some progress at the resort.
I have continued on building the laying boxes for the chickens. It's a construction that makes itself up as I go along depending on the what second hand materials I can find in our storage area. I must say it's looking pretty reasonable. It all depends what the chickens think I guess.
The 22 "off" eggs that were nestled under the sitting hen were buried by Morphine and Susan today. Susan broke them as they went in the hole and observed there were embryos in various stages of development. Be interesting to see what happens with the seven eggs remaining under the chicken. The hatching time is supposed to be 21 days so they must be just about due I guess. Morphine found another batch of eggs today 13 in all from a different chicken in a different location which all pass the cold water test. We have eaten some from the batch the other day and they were very tasty. Anyway if they all lay in the Hilton that will make things easier.
A nice spaghetti bolognaise prepared by Susan for tea. The meat was pork and beef minced and it seemed a better flavour and texture than pure beef so a note to do it again in the future.
Our day off tomorrow. Not quite sure what we will do yet but a local bush walk sounds like a good idea.
Night Folks
Cheers Simon
