Lesley Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Let's hope so No yellow 'glow in the dark' backsides yet Chocchick - I'm wading through books about the Natural Diet and the BARF diet and trying to work out what to do We kept Jazz on boiled rice and cooked chicken for some time over Christmas and then put her onto Burns. We've slowly been adding things back and when we gave her raw egg again, she was sick again. So far she's OK with Burns, yoghurt, fruit and some veg., multivitamins and zinc tablets. We've tried her with cooked egg today as a new item - everything else has stayed the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Glad to hear that it all went well with Oliver - what a good boy, I just hope that the ewes appreciate his saintly nature. So will he only mate with them if they are in oestrus rather than just bonking them all the time? Sounds like a sensible conservation of his energies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hilarious . Had me in stitches. Mind I feel sorry for the penguins and their "egg". Do you think they'll ever realise that it's not going to hatch . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 147 days is the gestation for sheep and goats 115 for pigs and 280 something for cattle just in case you get any more ideas head full of useless info me That's not useless! - it saves me having to look at the book! Thank you We asked for - and received - a 5 year Diary, for Christmas. I'll add that to the information pages. I'm starting it as Year 2 as i want to add all the things that happened last year, so that we keep a proper record of everything. I know this topic needs another Spring Clean - I'll make sure I note things down and then give it a good going over soon. It looks like I might have to come on here at something like 2am to make sure i have a clear run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
