Bush chook update: chicks by Christmas & the cheque’s not in the mail
Some news from the hen house:
- Two hens have been sitting on eggs (in the same cream can) since early December. If they can keep up the effort, we may have chicks by Christmas.
- My grant application to elevate Bush Chooks to Federally-Funded Landcare Hero Status has failed :(. I received the ‘dear John’ letter in the same week that $10 Billion was thrust down the throats of anyone (except dole bludgers of course - what would they do with money?) with a welfare account. I note that the letter was dated 27 November but the envelope was postmarked 9 December. That’s eight business days to fold the letter, lick the envelope and pop it in the post.
