Hi All,
Quiet day at the resort. The weather started cloudy but fined up. Today was spent tidying up and making room for the arrival of a shipping container of valuable artifacts from Ilan's farm.
The chickens were kept locked in the enclosure until after lunch to encourage them to lay in the breeding box. They managed to find a hole in the fence and escape about 1pm. One of them did return after I opened the gate to lay in the box which was a pleasant surprise. Lucky our rooster is putting himself about a lot in an effort to increase his brood. If that means anything we expect a lot more eggs in the next few days. Working on the assumption he knows something about the girls that we don't. Mind you he might know nothing and just be a randy rooster. His brood of chicks appear to be thriving (touch wood). I keep the goats on short tethers when they are in the enclosure since they have both been acting particularly mental of late. They are not particular about where they tread and I don't want any squashed chicks. Today was Ella's turn to jump and run around as if she had rabies.
Ilan popped in for tea tonight. We had garlic bread along with reheated potato and leak soup from last night. After tea Susan and Ilan played backgammon whilst i fiddled with the old desktop computers figuring out which one will be the restored one and which will be the one wrecked for parts. Exciting huh?!
Anyway that's it for the day.
Cheers Simon
