Staying ‘Up Over’ for a while.
New arrivals.
So...we have eight new chicks down in the Chickery. They are just about a week old. The newly revamped Chickery seems to be containing them safely. We had two broody hens so the octuplets are being cared for by two mothers and run back and forth between the two.
We have 14 Silkie eggs due to hatch some time in the middle of next week too. We are looking forward to seeing what they will look like. Meanwhile the rest of them are loving having the run of the garden...
The Best Laid Plans.
So...we were planning on going to Brisbane this weekend. Will was going to get together with his old band mates for a reunion practise and there was an Anniversary party at the Kindergarten he used to work at on Sunday. We were then going to head down the coast to visit the Swell Sculpture Festival on Monday but...today there were 5 new Covid cases in Brisbane. The Premier has not called a lockdown yet but is closely monitoring the situation and we reckon it's likely there will be one in the next few days. We can't risk going because if a lockdown was called we would be able to get home but we would have to follow lockdown measures and we need to be able to go to work, especially Will as he is the only Cheesemaker at the Factory at the moment.
It's very disappointing.
There is a chance we will be able to nip down to the coast to see the Sculpture Festival sometime this coming week if there is no lockdown. We shall see.
Ch-ch-ch-changes!
So...I have been tidying again at the back of Frogknot...
We are also expecting the first lot of chicks of the year any day now so I have also revamped the Chickery...
