Us humans are never satisfied, are we? Always wanting what we don't have! 😆 Trust me, if you'd had the prolonged rain we've had, you'd be longing for your beautiful desert. At least you're not up to your ankles in sticky, smelly mud...😂 I don't think I'd ever adjust to heat - I swear DH and I...

That makes two of us! My friend is menopausal and says her "brain has stopped braining". I feel like mine has atrophied completely 🤣

Oh wow! Such disapproval! Is she one of your Watermaal chicks? She's so pretty, if a little stern looking ;) And that muff on your other baby! I just want to ruffle those little cheek feathers sooo bad! Such a pretty colour too. The coop looks great! Love the wallpaper.

I spoke to my vet friend from the course I did. He's coming over next weekend on his day off to examine Stan, see if he can spot the problem. I'm o.k., thanks. My back is seriously playing up right now - which isn't the best timing given how much needs doing round here but, hey, that's life...

Everyone else is keeping well just now :fl Just this problem with Stan. I wish I could figure out what's causing it. At least then I could set him on the correct course of treatment. I'm pretty much using a scatter gun approach right now. At the moment, he's on a course of tylan, which I'm...

Will vetericyn opthalmic gel work in the same way? I have that on hand from Ferdy's eye injury. I'm going to start nebulising him 3 times a day from today. It might work in the nebuliser.

You should see DH's face after my lot have undone all his hard work within minutes :lau I keep telling him to shut everyone in the run before he starts sweeping/raking and to tidy away the piles or garden sacks once he's done - not leave them out for the chickens to 'explore'. And don't let...

Definitely a mystery. Let's keep everything crossed it doesn't reoccur. I'm worried about Stanley now. He is wheezing badly. He sounds like he smokes 40 a day! He looks and behaves like he's in the prime of health. No discharge, no head shaking, swelling, lethargy etc. Poops are good and firm...

Oh my gosh! Tragic but fascinating.

Such beautiful, content girls. And gorgeous babies 😍

My bottle's label is so worn off I can barely read it but I found a photo which lists the ingredients. I think Rooster Booster would do the job as well.

I'd definitely happily gift a few people I know a few red mites. Horrible little buggers 🤣

Like the idea frying mites! Sounds sooo satisfying. When I had my very first girls, I picked up Connie in the coop and found thousands of mites in the bedding under her. She literally had her very own red carpet. I still feel so much guilt I didn’t spot it sooner. We have a few water additives...

Sounds just like me on work mornings! 😂 I loved my hedgehogs, they had such big personalities and used to terrorise the cats. I'd often be out gardening at 10pm (I had 3/4 an acre to look after and previous partner had zero interest and a very black thumb) with my own personal slug exterminators!

Just beautiful 😍.
