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 😍.

Mostly I just have semi- rigid half inch netting over the run. When it's stretched tight, it doesn't present too much of a hazard - although Ferdy manages to get his spurs caught in it if I don't keep them trimmed. The problem is the soft mesh type. I'm having to use it periodically to separate...

Wow! How awful for you and the chickens to have to deal with bald Eagle attacks. But how magnificent to see! I was lucky enough to see a wild golden eagle locally quite recently. Truly majestic! I have to have bird netting round the run due to bird flu regulations, unfortunately.

I refuse to use it where I can’t monitor it at least 3 times a day. Years ago, I found a hedgehog hanging upside-down in pea and bean netting. It had dislocated a hip and the netting had badly cut into it's stomach. I did what I could then took it to the vet the next day. He put some stitches in...

He's the best, always tries to let me know if something is amiss or one of the girls or Stan needs something. I had another reminder of why I hate bird netting yesterday. I was putting everyone to bed and noticed a movement out of the corner of my eye. A newly fledged sparrow was caught in it...

So pretty 😍 Blaine is going to be one handsome young man!
