On my trip today I noticed the tractors are having a busy time laying eggs now. They're pretty messy: ( photo / image / picture from Droopy's Garden ) Here's a huge tractor egg nest: ( photo / image / picture from Droopy's Garden ) A busy time gathering up the eggs: ( photo / image / picture from Droopy's Garden ) These eggs are light green so it must be another species of tractor: ( photo / image / picture from Droopy's Garden ) We're going away now, and I'm so looking forward to seeing the little hatchlings when I get back. Maybe they look like this:
What cuties they lay. Hope they all hatch out okay. Have a good trip, where are you all off to this year?
I hope so too. Funny you should ask. I just asked my husband the same question, and got a typical hubby-answer: How can we know until we get there, dear? I have never considered divorce but now and then I contemplate murder! Guess I shan't complain, he's the best husband I've got.
Our tractors must be different species to yours Droopy as they lay black or dark green eggs. I wonder what their babies will look like when they hatch out? Some nest in barns or under tarps in the fields and don't have coloured shells so it will be intersting to see what pops out of them!! Have a great break and thoroughly enjoy yourself.
I showed the photo of the "eggs" to my hens and they fainted! We get brown tractor eggs here, and right now the fields are full of them. Have a great get-away, and take photos and tell us all about it when you get back. Bon Voyage, or, as we say here in Texas, y'all 'njoy, y' hear?
Oooh, Eileen, you must sneak up close with your camera and try to snap a photo of the hatchlings! And thank you. I read and understand, mg. I'll show photos when we get back, and will try to contain myself this time. I usually post way too many holiday photos.
Chuckles here at the office! ANd what's funny I just saw similar eggs in Sweden. I was surprised as our tractors give birth to live bails.... no eggshells of any color! CALIN
Watchout! The scary part will be having to feed them! Maybe they should be 'dealt with' now while you can.
I've seen those live youngsters too Calin and I know that they have to be protected from bad weather or they become very sick. Here we build special communal nurseries for them (called hay barns) and the mother tractors keep an eye on them by sleeping beside them at nights. After all we can't have them running amok and causing damage now can we? I've spotted some bright blue eggs appearing in some farmers' fields so I think they've been introducing foreign species to us here in the UK which is slightly worrying. I hope they don't don't cross breed with our black and green ones or we could have hatchlings that look like big bruises being born.
