Also did your chicks hatch? I just had one this morning.. a full week after the other two!

A week!!! Wow

Mine are due this weekend, 5/6 have developed but as I used shipped eggs all have deformed air sacks so it’s a wait and see game now

Mine were somewhat, er, haphazard so didn't really have any idea what would happen when. I assumed all had died and was about to chuck them all but saw one egg rocking in the incubator so kept them going!

Did you candle them? It’s absolutely fascinating. Can’t believe I’ve gone through life without knowing all this!!

I did but tbh everything I read seemed conflicting. All I could see with mine was a dark area and the air sac. I was worried they were rotting and would explode....

Not convinced they will hatch but we shall see.

Yes it is! I'm sad I didn't see this one hatch, it's an ugly little one, had done it by the time I came downstairs this am.

Aww, I am reading about Bear for the first time and he's lovely! I especially love those last photos. And what a great yard... I'm so envious of your facilities.

It's a fantastic yard. My old Connemara, Basil, is buried there and I'm very good friends with the owners who I lived with for a year- it's a happy place to be!

Love reading the updated adventures of the Bay Boyz ?

Can Bog and Bear send my cobbler a postcard saying cows aren't scary please? She is horrified by them and gives them the must disgusted glares....dispite the fact she rather looks like one ? Its not ideal when we live opposite a dairy farm and have feilds of them lining the road we have to walk down to get anywhere ??‍♀️

He is so cute! I also manged to get some photos with a lying down chilled out Buzz yesterday :)
I love your updates and adventures, Buzz would freak out at a tarp.

I feel like I can join in a bit as I have a connie that begins with a B....he is grey though!

Although Bog is quite clearly your horse of a lifetime...I possibly think Bear might be your 'heart horse' <3 He looks like a lovely person - I can't wait to see how it goes!

Bear is a proper resident now he has a stable! Lovely to have him in his own house he seemed genuinely quite chuffed. Was very settled in pen but did let out the odd sad whinny when a horse walked past. He also found it entertaining to bronc around it when I was walking Bog so glad he won’t be able to do that now ;) Also had his teeth done, no sedation needed stood like a rock even with just EDT in pen with him.

More long reining, between Bog and Bear today I’ve walked 2.5 hours and now need a glass of wine!
