Right - we're now in countdown ..... chicks due to hatch on Friday 8th Feb. All four are happily cheeping/chirping (?) and I thought I heard some pipping going on. This is all so exciting - fingers crossed they'll all survive the hatching process. They have already been named - Roast, Kiev, Soup and Pie although maybe that wasn't the smartest thing!
The brooder is all set up and ready - the lamp works, the woodshavings are in place - the drinker and feeder just need filling up......
Will update and post pictures as soon as they arrive (of course, I'm due out overnite on Saturday aren't I - the babysitter will probably be the first human they ever see!) I might have to feign illness.......
