One of the scottish eggs has hatched but has been thrown out of the nest. It's a poor little scrawny thing. I have wrapped it in a teashirt and will try to keep it alive although I don't hold out much hope. The hens are not even bothering with the remainder of the eggs so I don't suppose there will be anymore chicks. Oh well we tried!
The poorly hen has rallied a bit and has gone out into the field. I don't know if she will come back at dinner time or not.
The weather has been sunny today but now at 4.30 it has gone black overhead. all is doom and gloom. Oh and my back is sunburnt despite the fact that I stay in the shade.
