Maybe you should occupy yourself getting some fertile eggs for your chooks and ducks while you're at it ;)

I know what you mean tho, I haven't bred foals for 2 years and in spring I'll have one again :)  Should have been 2 but one aborted 10 days ago :( Still looking forward to the patter of tiny hooves again tho :)

phew, you had me worried there for a minute!

I really could only see the title and top two lines - I'm without my "windows" for a week while I have new lenses fitted in the same frames, so have to have the laptop zoomed up to ridiculous-ness! :0
