1st December o.O

1st December, I've done no posts in the WHOLE of November! Sorry, November was a CRAZY month. We watched quite a few films at the cinema with th 'Into Film Festival!' and, unfortunately, I had a nasty deadline to do a load of work (witch I passed!). But now I'm back to normal!

So, anyway, 1st of DECEMBER!!! Tis the season to be jolly, falalalala la la la la . (I will be doing a little bit of a Christmas song in every post I do leading up to Christmas! And naughty grandad forgot the Christmas calendars!

Also in November, my little sisters school has had a fire! But it was NO WHERE NEAR as bad as the news made out it was just a little electric fault and its manly smoke damage, nothing to serious.
Shes been off for about THREE weeks! So as well as my nanny having to get work ready for me she had to sort of Jess aswell, and that resulted in me having to teach myself! :(

One good thing about the fire has been that my friends Molly and Bonnie have been coming round after school for a few hours each day (year 6 are going to the local secondary school so they don't miss lessons). I also had a sleepover there last weekend and we all made pizza with their dad! It was the best mushroom Pizza EVER! (And I don't like mushrooms!)

Seahorses could be extinct in 30 years: Trade in dried wildlife souvenirs could see the marine creatures wiped out!!! HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS!!!  © The Seahorse Trust Seahorses could be wiped out within 30 years by the illegal sale of dead wildlife as curiosities, according to a conservation charity.   The Seahorse Trust are trying to achieve a new target to stop the sale of dried marine animals as holiday keepsakes.

The trust are warning people not to buy the mementos and instead report shops that sell them to the charity.

INCUBATING EGGS!!!!!

Image
Today we started to Incubate 3 eggs so HOPEFULLY, In about 21 days, we will have little chicks... Here is some info on incubation!: PERFECT TEMPERATURE!!! ;)  First off, eggs will normally hatch in around 21 days, sometimes they could hatch a day or 2 early or late. Secondly, eggs need to be placed in the incubator a week or less after being laid.(We put them in a few hours after being laid:)!) An ideal temperature for a hens egg to hatch should be around 37.5 °C but 35. °C to 40.5°C is OK! You NEED to turn the eggs about 3 times a day to prevent the embryo sticking to the inside of the egg shell! DO NOT turn the eggs after the 18th day! We've 4 chickens of our own, 3 hens and 1 cockerel so the eggs were incubating are from our own hens which in my case makes it even more exiting! Our cockerel is a Light Sussex, one of our hens is a White Leghorn, another one is a Bluebell, and the last one is a Speckeldy so we don't know what we will come out with!

Owl Pellet

Image
Today we decided to take apart an owl pellet that my grandad found. Owl pellets are regurgitated and contain all the animals’ parts that they can’t digest. They normally contain bone, teeth, hair and feathers of various animals eaten by the owls. First I soaked it in water, Then I put a few drops of disinfectant in. Then I carefully pulled it apart. We found loads of feathers and a few bones. It was quite disappointing because I thought we would at least get a skull. :-( It was more interesting then I thought it would be. Here are a few of the bones that we found. We are hoping to find another pellet soon which might have more it in. :)
