Week 23: A lot of eggs

1st of august

For the last couple of months we have been trying to get married. The last piece of the puzzle was a document to prove that we are allowed to get married, and Megan’s sister brought the document with her. So today we went to Fundao to try and fix everything for our marriage. But it didn’t go as planned. We went there and the only thing the person could say to us was that we needed a translator. So disappointed we went back and enjoyed the rest of the day.

This day we were in a good mood and we were drawing our future houses. And we went to a big china store with Megan’s sister. After shopping we went to the pool to cool off. When we came back from the pool Jillian walked with Flora and we did the other farmjobs. Not long after Megan heard Jillian shouting her name. Flora escaped and ran after a man with a dog. Megan ran after her and Bryan followed soon after. When we got there the man was saying he would call the police and then a few other things we didn’t get, because they didn’t make sense. We called Mirande afterwards and explained the whole situation. We brought Flora inside and carried on with our jobs. After work Jillian and Megan walked with their kittens and had a lovely time with them.

The man from yesterday texted Mirande and the texts were very weird, but the police will not be called luckily!

Megan decided that today was a good day to play gardener, so she put on some music and went to work. In the evening Megan wanted to let Jillian hear the chicklets and they will be hatching soon!

The chicklets are coming!! The first egg is cracking. We have a few different eggs and we will see how many of each type of chicken we will get. There are silky’s, brahmah’s and surprise eggs. But the first one is a silky! At first we thought that we would have no silky’s, because when we candled the eggs most of the silky’s were not showing progress. The rest of the day we walked back and forth between jobs and looking at the chickens! By the end of the day we had 5 chicks.

5th of august

We woke up with a lot of noise coming from the bathroom. We had 3 more chicks coming out of the eggs. One of them had a bit of mold inside the shell so Megan contacted Mirande for advice. We put the chick in a safe space and throw the moldy egg away. He/She did survive! The 5 chicks from yesterday are now out of the incubator and start eating and drinking.

6th of august

11 chicks this morning. We had to move some over to the big pen and we checked on the ones who were having a little trouble coming out of the eggs. Luckily they are all doing okay. One of the chicks was looking very rough and we thought he/she wouldn’t make it. So Megan taped the legs together and cared for it gently. Tomorrow we will know more.
