When I see the others all playing around I'm sad for the one that didn't make it. It got so far.<br />xxLaura@OurWeeFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021147150607987627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-46930132078881898682013-01-05T17:22:56.772+13:002013-01-05T17:22:56.772+13:00Gorgeous little fluff balls.

Of course when I came back the next day I asked where the other eggs were and was told 'in the compost bin' and I had to take a look. Both eggs were there, icy cold, so I cracked them open and inside were two perfectly formed little birds who had just been too cold to survive and 'crack' their way out. I was sooooooo upset for those little lives. It still makes me sad just typing that!<br /><br />Ah well what will be will be.<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-23414399664265406702013-01-04T23:19:59.960+13:002013-01-04T23:19:59.960+13:00I did read the book, but it was so log ago I didn&...I did read the book, but it was so log ago I didn't remember it very well!!Laura@OurWeeFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021147150607987627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-3596874362401423562013-01-04T23:19:19.046+13:002013-01-04T23:19:19.046+13:00they are a really lovely lot.they are a really lovely lot.Laura@OurWeeFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021147150607987627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-12666767476439545932013-01-04T23:18:57.594+13:002013-01-04T23:18:57.594+13:00you must! its beyond brilliant. hope you all enjoy...you must! its beyond brilliant. hope you all enjoy.xxLaura@OurWeeFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021147150607987627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-4718478843730969042013-01-04T22:58:35.863+13:002013-01-04T22:58:35.863+13:00Great shot Laura!

I asked him if he'd ever want my spare roosters (we'll always have them if we hatch eggs) He said he'd be delighted, so off they go to him (and his tummy!) I do keep one rooster though, as I love the crow in the morning.Laura@OurWeeFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021147150607987627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-91376925278076379302013-01-04T12:25:48.522+13:002013-01-04T12:25:48.522+13:00That is just a gorgeous photo ( with amazing new c...That is just a gorgeous photo ( with amazing new camera ? :) ) dear little five chicks, so completely adorable.

Oddly enough, I lost one too, first time ever... wasn't meant to be I guess.

I find it easier to deal with sick/maimed ones, it's having to deal with the ones that turn into roosters that gets me most because by that time, they would've all had names and personalities. We live in suburbia and council forbids the keeping of roosters and giving them away to someone who can isn't always possible :(Flepandcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829255811468297928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-22246133692932272052013-01-04T09:48:17.516+13:002013-01-04T09:48:17.516+13:00Hi!
