Incubation

My mate left me in the lurch. He wanted some fertilised chicken eggs and incubate them so his kids could see the process of chicks being hatched. 

As he didn't have an eBay account, I ordered them for him, but they arrived the day he was going on holiday - so I'm left with them.


I ordered half a dozen of them and they have to be turned three times a day while being kept at 37.5 degrees C. Luckily he had sourced an incubator I could use.

Had they been peacocks I'd have kept one or two - they could handle the cats quite easily. Not so sure whether they could handle the foxes though. I quite fancy a peacock or two about the estate.

Thank God he's coming back tomorrow.
