Despite there still being a distinct nip in the wind the signs of spring are now starting to show.
It is lovely to see the first true daffodils braving the grey and windy day to bring a ray of sunshine with their glorious yellows and oranges.
But it isn’t just the plants that are showing we are a heart beat away from something that feels a bit more springlike. The frogs seem to have been on overdrive. Whilst walking the dogs I could see the products of their spring imperative all around the Croft.
All of this tells me one thing. It is time to dust down the incubator and set it up for the first hatch of the year. We like to start off with a bantam hatch, they are the fastest to incubate at 19 days, so not long to wait for the first little cheep cheep of the year.
We will keep you posted when we candle them to check the fertility. Happy Spring everyone.
