Thats ok Mark, sorry I couldn't chat longer.  Do you have a candler?  We usually candle around day 5 to see if they are all working, the only prob though is the araucana shells are so thick and dark you don't see an awful lot. 

Thanks again for you kind donation to Short Stature Scotland too, we have a social coming up and will pass it on to the committee then. 

Looking forward to hearing the progress of the broody  :wave:
