Friday smile - pheasant anyone?

My hen pheasant has started to incubate her clutch of at least a dozen eggs.
According to my internet research I should have tiny pheasant chicks
 running round my front garden 23 days after she started sitting.
Watch this space!!

Oooooh, how exciting Jo! I can just see the Snippets Playground girls asking for a field trip to be arranged when the little ones hatch!

Hugs, Di xx

Hope she doesn't need a babysitter. Think that would push us over our numbers :-)

Hello Jo,
I do hope her man gets her some food and water then whilst she's busy with the kids!!
Cant wait to see the result!
Have a super weekend!

Wonderful! I will watch this space.

We've had a hen bird laying just outside the door...but we also have dog with a keen nose. Dog grabbed bird - fortunately she escaped but minus er tail feathers. I doubt she will be back.....but then pheasants aren't known for their brains are they?
