Heave !

An eventful morning thus far.

While feeding the chooks I discovered where wee noisy duck is nesting, down among the old midden & she's sitting on at least 12 eggs, will have to erect a cat proof fencing frame over the nest by the end of the week so that kitty isnt having young duck for breakfast & lunch once hatching starts.

And our first lamb has been born, a massive lamb which had to be given a wee bit of help getting past its shoulders, no idea what it is yet, just relieved that mum & lamb are both fine & bonding.

Nothing from Suzie as yet, although she has bagged up, being her first litter of piglings, it could be up to 10 days before she farrows, poor thing, I think Suzie is feeling very big & cumbersome.

Sympathy to Suzie from female parental unit...says she remembers how it feels to be the size of a house...

"just relieved that mum & lamb are both fine & bonding". Such female chauvinism! How is the Dad doing? That is what I (not to mention Barney from Switchhod, and Fred from the Kirk's vicinity, etc etc) am wondering.

IB is full of the joys of spring and animals and humans alike are taking advantage of the times to bring forth and multiply, the duck according tot he duck kind and the lion according to the lion kind. Only Suzie the sow is being a bit bolshie.... obviously an independant female. Churchil said that cats despise humans, dogs worship them and pigs treat them asa equals. Poor pigs, not so smart after all.

Mjc... That would depend on just which dad you were pondering about... Daddy sheep.... Alas last year was his last turn at a few romatic romps with his ewes, his teeth falling out gave his age away.. Daddy pig -- Otherwise known as Doodles.. Is as any expectant father would be... Utterly full of himself & wondering when his next meal will be. I'm sure he knows why his Suzie has been taken away from him (only in the sense that they still have adjoining grazing but separate houses, he's been larking about a lot more than usual but is still his usual laid back *ooow yeah scratch me there !* self.
