No, quite the opposite. It's her ear lobes that give this impression on the picture. She has lemon ear lobes, a bit like Amadeo had.are Laure's cheeks a bit swollen?
We've given up on growing any type of cabbage from seeds. It's just too hot in summer, they can't survive and they get eaten up by all kinds of caterpillars. We buy plants in September now. And now, I wouldn't want to eat cauliflower in August .Very interesting evaluation of the garden produce there in this year of difficult weather. Here in general stuff that needs heat struggled, stuff that likes it cool and wet thrived - and some was missed because it matured unexpectedly early (cauliflower in August anybody?).
There are two ways to eat it, when it's tiny and when it's a squash. When it's young it reminds me the most of the white courgette I talked about last year. It's quite firm and slightly reminiscent of avocado. But we only eat them as squashes. Then it tastes ..like another squash I can't find the translation for . Let's say it tastes a bit like pumpkin.Makes me curious. Does it taste like the yellow zucchini when still small? A big more mellow than the normal green zucchini (or courgette) ?
She is far from well, but on the right path. There was one day when I wondered if it was actually beyond the normal reaction for the implant, so when she was a tiny bit better the next day I was reassured.
Did you mean flowering ?Our Jerusalem artichoke is flowing right now. Do you know when is a good time to dig the tubers up? Anytime?
In both Laure and Nougat's case, I think the stumbling and lack of balance wasn't correlated to direct denutrition. Both kept eating commercial feed ; less than usual of course but then they were not producing an egg either. It doesn't rule out deficiency because maybe the usual food they eat didn't provide what they needed at that point and also both experienced bad diarrhea.Some hens obviously don’t want to eat layer feed if they moult.

This has made me realize another pro of a 'dumb' phone; I bought mine in 2009, and it's still going strong (it has no camera and thus photos to store, but I suspect the real difference is that it is just a phone, not a computer in miniature). I'm also beginning to wonder if it's so old that it's somehow dropped off a database somewhere, because I can't remember the last time I had to top up with £10I don't want to buy a new phone, mine is only three years old.
Many phones only last 3 years anyway if you want a secure phone. Only Iphone gives security updates for about 8 years from the release date. And I know Samsung gives 5. Do check it if you use a lot of apps or use it for payments.. I don't want to buy a new phone, mine is only three years old.
Yes flowering.Did you mean flowering ?
We dig ours up much later, usually in december. Here people eat them for christmas and new year so we sell them to a guy at one of the market in Nice at that time. We only eat them once or twice for ourselves, and because they are so invasive we dig about 150 kilos now... when we began with eight tubers a friend gave us . We are just keeping them because they make a big hay that protects from the wind. Be careful to dig them all out if you don't want a forest next year !
Even just using it as a phone, it's a good lifespan. One of the last dumb phones we had died because the microphone didn't work anymore ; several got broken from repeated falls, and they lasted a lot less than yours.This has made me realize another pro of a 'dumb' phone; I bought mine in 2009, and it's still going strong (it has no camera and thus photos to store, but I suspect the real difference is that it is just a phone, not a computer in miniature).
My English is failing me I don't understand that last part.I'm also beginning to wonder if it's so old that it's somehow dropped off a database somewhere, because I can't remember the last time I had to top up with £10
I do pay with my phone, I don't have any other option. I gave up on our WiFi subscription more than a year ago, so the only internet access I now have is through my phone. The WiFi was really too slow to be any use, and more expensive because we're in a very rural zone. The alternate technology they are offering for internet access is a bit more expensive. Not having internet on my computer is saving about 500 euros a year. That money allowed me to start donating to rescues and animal welfare organisations. I don't want to go back, so I will keep having a smart phone, even though having a "phone just to phone" like you @Perris did hold some appeal for me.Many phones only last 3 years anyway if you want a secure phone. Only Iphone gives security updates for about 8 years from the release date. And I know Samsung gives 5. Do check it if you use a lot of apps or use it for payments.
Btw: From 2025 all phones are obliged to give 5 years security updates, thanks to the EU.
Edit typo
A reason more to want a secure phone. Its the internet or wifi that have to be secure/trustworthy but also your smartphoneI do pay with my phone, I don't have any other option. I gave up on our WiFi subscription more than a year ago, so the only internet access I now have is through my phone.
Now Merle isn't broody anymore,
Katrientje was broody again too. Used the playhouse again to lock her up away from the nestboxes. Worked amazingly. Just 2 days to break her.Chipie is still broody. I'm beginning to think she will never give up !
i.e. "I can't remember the last time I had to top up with £10 "I don't understand that last part.
When moulting several metabolic systems inc immune system can be compromised.Piou-piou is not doing very well. I'm still not sure if she hurt a wing falling, if her foot hurts, if it's the molt, or yet something else ? She is still resting far too much compared to her usual behaviour.
That would explain why french refurbishers are focusing on those brands and Google, that do have those guarantees.A reason more to want a secure phone. Its the internet or wifi that have to be secure/trustworthy but also your smartphone
.
Any new resleased smartphone has to meet this standard. Samsung’s are okay for 5? years if new, Iphones get security updates for about 8 years. Other brands are sometimes horrible. Look at the specs if you buy one. Be absolutely careful with refurbished phones.
While wasting my time surfing idly on the internet I saw a way to break broodies I never heard of before. It requires a big enough property so that one can take the broody to a place she doesn't know at all, and far enough that she doesn't hear her flock. Supposedly the complete loss of any orientation will make her want to look around and dig and forget she is broody . I may just give it a try with Chipie but I'm a bit worried the result would be that she panics and flies off to nowhere !Katrientje was broody again too.

Me neither (on the phone. I'm a chatterer on BYC!) but my mum is. I'm lucky she only calls once a month.I'm not a chatterer.
My guess is it will be short lived, and Gaston will resume his place as soon as the worst of his moult (from a whole body metabolic perspective, never mind the feathers) is over.I wonder how this will turn out.
