no one owns a post they are just the starters of a bundle of info for everyone to tap into little blue so don't worry about it.......  maybe you could come see our little ducklings when and if they arrive. It might cheer you up!!! Didn't mean to pry......  take care and take one day at a time

Oh dear, we are still knee deep in snow and after reading all this and watching the repeats of Victorian Farm and Fly Away Home I'm going broody again! I discussed with the girls which way we are going to try this year. Natural and try to move the duck to a safe place once broody (catch the buggers first!), wait until a hen gets broody and do the same (so far I'm not convinced those hens actually can lay ANY eggs themselves). Or ask a kind friend with an incubator to do it again  ;D ? Decisions, decisions  :&>

Are you a member of Central Scotland Smallholders Association?  If not, this little bird thinks it might be a good idea.

You don't have to go that far North - at the moment CSSA meetings are usually held in Clackmannanshire.  In case anyone doesn't know CSSA and TAS are different things.  A lot of us are members of both.

Oops, blown that opportunity, haven't I? :-*  Didn't mean to put anyone off, James - you know how much I love your hotel and wonderful food.  I'll be up with at least some of teh family very soon.  Just haven't been able to get them all together on the same day!

I'm no good with advice about hatching  ::) - BUT, I'm hoping to get down to Nottingham in the next few months to see my sister for a couple of days. Maybe the East Midlands contingent would like to meet up for another wee TAS get together ? - I really enjoyed the last one in Glasgow and it's my New Year's resolution to get out more !  ;) ;D ;D ;D Would be great to meet more fellow TASers !

Its the Guardbridge Hotel, next door to Leuchars. We have now been here 3 years and think it a great place to be.

As a Midlands TASer, I say Yes! That'd be great...
