spikes and chirps.........

 I heard a funny noise outside the Chookshed the other morning...........I had an echidna visiting.........

The first 8 keets are doing great.............so great I decided to raid a nest that I had in the garden............

Well that was interesting.........there are varying ages of egg development in that guinea fowl nest.................

So I candled them and have 2 incubators going with different stages of eggs in each one.............

ANYWAY............

the raided eggs have started to hatch.......over several days now here's the progress so far.......

1st keet was doing great but I think a little premmy and didn't get the gist of eating and died...........

They can live for 24 hrs at least without food etc........the left over yolk sustains them........

2nd one is doing great........

3rd one didn't hatch out and died thinking premmy also.........

4th one is doing great ..........

5th one is starting to hatch so see what happens...........there are more eggs to go..........

in the pic above you can see the big ones are about 12 days old...........the little one towards the back of the bowl is 2 days old now........

and the baby at the front is the newest and I popped him in the box at lunch time........

no sewing to busy playing with these babies...........

Catch you later.............

Chookyblue...........

PS maybe I need to change that to guinea blue.............LOL

And then there was 8.......

 Catch you later.......

Chookyblue.......

I'm a mum..........

 First there was one............

This morning I have 3..............

with 4 more slowly on the way hope they survive.......2 more eggs????

Now I have to go to work......%#$#&^%$*^....

I feel like it's a family emergency and I need to stay home..........

Catch you later......

Chookyblue.........

Is this you.........

Morning............

It's bright and early and I was having trouble getting back to sleep so I decided to just get up.............the mornings are closing in here already...........thankfully we have had a few cooler days.........we had a day under 30c which was the 2nd in 2 months..........its been consistently hot here........the cooler days came after some rain which was lovely but not enough to fill the dams...........it watered the gardens which allowed me to have a few days off watering things.............I've cut back on watering due to the big house dam getting too low.........but that's life where I live.......things won't look so good and i'll concentrate on keeping the garden beds watered......some lawns cut off completely others watering reduced...........

I have way to many photos of sunrises and sunsets.......oh and clouds..........

I've been posting back on Snappy Friends and realised I have posted lots of them on the blog...........

Oops got distracted with a sudden decision to zoom with the Chookshed Stitchers and it's now Sunday morning............
