Not just that, although probably mainly that (am not very in tune with my inner being at the moment)
My neighbour said he wouldn't, after all, rent us an acre of his many 100s, and gave me some trumped up excuse. This means I can't extend my mini zoo in any way to include the coveted alpacas, and makes me feel rather trapped on our acre and a half (I never said it reasonable frustration). I am feeling like wrecking hedges (please see disclaimer in brackets above) to increase our surface area.
I gave 14 (7 weeks ago) + 28 eggs (3 weeks ago) to my neighbour to incubate. I earmarked 12 of the second batch to increase my flock. 8 of the first batch of 14 hatched successfully. About 18 of the second batch- except out of my 12, only 2 hatched. Even my bloody hens are sodding barren!
I daresay I shall have some perspective on this tomorrow, but the moment it seems that my sublimated breeding programme is being thwarted at every turn. There better be a good reason, I tell you.
Still only spotting. Not usual for me, no. Fully expect bastard period to start properly tomorrow.
