Sorry about Aggie. Was she elderly? I used to have chickens, but had a fox problem. The chooks liked to be in the orchard in the daytime but fox got too bold and started hunting in the day. And my favourite bantam, Annabelle, got killed by the farmer's dog. Then Millie the Muscovy duck made a nest by the pond and was determined to sit on it, so I couldn't find her at bedtime when I shut the ducks up, but found her in the morning after the fox had been, feathers and broken eggs. It was all too upsetting and the children were fairly small then so they were upset, so I stopped keeping birds. We'd spent a fortune fencing the veg garden as the ducks trashed it (they love lettuce).
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Sorry to hear about Aggie, Flo. I was very upset when Daisy my bantam died suddenly as she was the one who raised the 8 chicks I had - and did an excellent job of it. I now have Alice the other bantam and the 3 chicks that turned out to be girls - who are much bigger than Alice, but she's not fazed.
I was hoping for another sunny day today to get some broad beans sown - what's happened to the weather??
Poor Flo- and Aggie- and Maggie all alone-not sure how introducing some new ones to a single one will go down- it took nearly 2 weeks when it was 3 on 3 here-and only when they were all laying were they totally accepted -must be something in those hormones-anyway cyberhugs
Looks cold outside and a bit misty-going to take a quick trip to B&Q on beige Wednesday to see what they have-have my uniform ready so I don't stand out
Have been watching the prison documentary-very scary young men out /in there
Lottie-I can see a voucher winging your way-you wonder what happens to these orders -where are they now ?
Good job Jean that OH has a had a fiddle and given you a good sorting-now stop downlading naughty stuff
I've decided to change my name. Every time I see my name on here it reminds me of Dallas. Sorry to hear of poor Aggie's demise, Flo and hope Maggie gets a new friend soon .
Liz, that must have been a horrible discovery for you all. Poor birds.
Something peculiar is going on with my begonia tubers.
So that's 3 of us with computer problems yesterday
Sorry to hear about Aggie, at least it wasn't a fox. Hopefully new chicken ranch will be ready for new chucks
Murky old day again,and I feel good today, but don't want to get damp just in case.
Daughter phoned to say her car has broken irretreivably so all the money they have saved for a new house (letting) will have to go on a car. Very upset and as she has ME the extra travelling is making her very tired - never a good thing and they have had enough of living ina flat on a High street
I guess it could be bank of Mum and Dad to help out with new house, but we haven't told her yet
Just a quick pop in. We are off to Cannock on a bus!! Visiting the 99p shop and poundland! I was told to set my self a limit of £10 in those shops, but we'll see how that works out.
Have also promised Jess lunch in a cafe, as she has never been in one, and thinks it will be exciting!
What exciting stuff Becks. Check out Wilko for cheap garden stuff as well. I saw a very small upright little house for plants and I thought of you as it would be small enough to put inside one of your larger houses for extra seed care and warmth - it was £13
