Boris70 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hopefully I'm the the most far afield omletter so far (correct me if I'm worng). I'm writing this froim Bangkok airport - after 2 weeks in the lovely Thai sunshine! Even though I haven't been in the UK I still haven;t been able to resist the omlet board! Anyway, must sign off, a plane to catch....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 You are right of course Mel. But I would pay good money to be away from the Football & Henley Regatta today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 True! Henly Regatta - lovely if you visit, not such fun if you live in Henly then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Just like the Burghley Horse Trials. Lovely for all the rich folks coming into town in their big cars but pants for us locals who can't park anywhere or for LSH who can't get out of the work car park for half an hour at night because of the queues!

Mel (& Paul) Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 That's the problem with living in such a lovely place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 True ! At least it's only once a year! We've got the Battle Proms on next weekend. We won't go along as it's rather pricey but we can see the fireworks from our bedroom window! Fab and free ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I never pay to watch a firework display - you can see them from outside the gate for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 BTW I'm impressed with Vicki's commitment to the forum despite being in lovely Thailand. She sent 2 PMs during the week about lice medicine, so must have checked the forum at least 3 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I am desperate to get back to the forum as I'm missing you all when I'm at work -will hopefully be able to get 20 mins or so to get to the terminal and steal some Wifi and say hello! But I doubt it. Very nearly managed to get in a cyber cafe in Brighton though but they wouldn't let Molly in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris70 Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hi All, Back in a very sunny UK now - and my chickens are all fine except Penny is still broody - 7.5 weeks now. Any suggestions to cure this now - as I don't think the catch it early can count now! Tried dunking on day 1 of broodiness and that didn't work either. Is the broody cage the only option - or will she ever stop on her own????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Vicki glad you had a nice holiday..............7.5 weeks is a long time for your hen to be broody she should just come out of it herself I have found if Bunty can't sit on the nest or any eggs for any length of time she soon gives up. You could try the an anti-broody cage I found it only took 48 hours to cure my broody using this method but make sure it is in a shady spot and provide lots of water. I am not sure what else to suggest really but if you are consistent with the egg collecting and moving her on when she sits she may well just snap out of it...............Good luck.
