Woow this thread I started is still going! Life has taken over the last few years and we´ve been running on just a few leftover hens / roos. All excited when our last hen sat on 14 eggs, 9 of which were hens. They had all just started laying when we had a weasel get in and wipe all but one hen...

Hi Ana - thanks for thinking of me! All my new chicken plans are on hold at the moment - been having a bit of a rough time with them with too many roosters which I got sorted and now a bad red mite infestation! I have a new job which is taking lots of time so it is all just a bit much so I'm...

I still have bags of them frozen from last year (and peaches and plums - didn't do al lthe crumbles I'd planned over the winter!). A nice dish I've discovered to use them up is I dump a bag of figs (maybe 800gms?) in the bottom of the slow cooker with sliced onion (1 large / 2 med), garlic, a...

Oh nice group! Do you know I never thought of that - presumably that is why it does it!!!! Will have to try in the summer with my figs and stuff!

OK I have wonderful news :celebrate:celebrate:celebrateI was a bit worried over night as wondered if my oven had some turn itself off after a certain number of hours safety thing :lol:. Got up this morning and it was still on, quick peek no chicks :hitThen about 9am saw that the temp had dipped...

Good luck @sumi - we need updates and pics tomorrow!

How are all your hatchings going? I managed to pop 5 of my murdered Araucana eggs (not sure what the dad will be though so hopefully some easter eggers although 25% chance it is the Araucana roo) and a few of the dead silkies into my neighbours incubator and now my other silkie has cleverly gone...

Welcome to our thread! I just had a look - they are gorgeous with thier white spots on black - really like the look of them and sounds like they are very good dual purpose - apparently thier meat is excellent (compared with Bresse on one site). I have found my best option for choice and price...

Oh no that is really not good. I was starting to worry here too, we hardly had a drop in February which was lovely for my mental health but I ended up having to water the pots - just crazy. We've had a good amount since then though. Really hope you get some rain through before summer arrives :hugs

It is gorgeous! Perfect sitiuation - our last 2 French houses were like that on the edge of the village with great views but still in the village. Now were are in a little group of houses just outside the village but close enough the kids can bike to the shop / pool etc. So you said you aren't...

Would love to see some pics!

Thank you. Back to rain here today - dull grey Sunday and one of my woodburners has gone out which means I have to face the rain to empty the ash - boring (thought I'd try to get away with it!).

Hi everyone - after days of grey and rain we are back to lovely sunny weather :D:D I sadly lost one of my original 3 girls yesterday and was brave and did a necropsy on her - I posted about it here if you are interested...

Wow sounds like you guys have amazing things going on! Please keep us updated on house building / homestead plans! We were lucky this place came with 3 big walnuts, lots of hazelnuts, Mirabelle, heritage peaches, and apple tree, normal plums too. I've been doing a veg garden for 3 years now...

Off goes the Aussie to find a map and find Sicily ..................................................... :lau:lau
