with my mobbie in one hand and the house phone in the other?? :lol:

 

 

 

Errr yes!!! Just in case I call you!

 

 

One of my members of staff used to phone me when she was on the loo you wouldnt realise then all of a sudden the flush would go

 

Brother does this all the time but it isn`t always the flush that gives him away

[Cooks]

yup mine has too!

[Space Chick]

Good evening all *Waves*

 

Debs is pleased to report that Dorothea has had her first free range session today Tegan was too much of a wuss

 

However, I was cleaning out the poo trays, and then topping them up with hemcore from the nesting box, and Rose decided to jump out of the nest box door closely followed by Donna

 

I was expecting issues, so ran inside for a water pistol, there was one mini bit of nastiness between Dorothea and Donna, but a quick squirt and they were fine, in fact, Donna ran away from Dorothea after that

 

I then let Dorothea (Dodo) and Tegan (Baby T) have the run of the WIR, and let big Suze in with them, big Suze was scared stiff of Dodo and ignored Baby T

 

I also think that Nyssa may have a softie on the way, as she has been quite hunched up, and seemed uneasy on her feet (she fell over twice when she tried to run). I am hoping its nothing more sinister However, logic would say with her having just come into lay, she may get the odd softie until she gets into the swing of things. I am just more nervous after losing Martha after only 3 eggs. I breathe a size of relief when they lay number 4, silly I know I am going to keep a close eye on her. The only other thing I think, is that she has insisted on sleeping on the perch the last 2 nights and has again today , she still has her appetite though and wolfed down some mealworms, so thats good

Accidental intro's are the best!

Glad there wasn't any major upsets

How was the conference?

 

 

Nats friend came for tea ... they walked in an Nugget was lying on the worktop in the kitchen

I think she's half broody, has made a deep nest in the nesting box but then gives up after a couple of hours

I took a few photos, so will get them on here in a sec

 

Just walked to Spar so am brrrrrrr now.

[Space Chick]

The conference was good thanks, there were some excellent speakers. The 3 sessions that were best were 1 on Palliative Care, 1 on patient/carer focus (which had patients and carers doing the talk) and one on genetics.

 

Can't wait to see the pics

[Lewis]

Good job it was ... good

 

Are you impressed I know what palliative care is? - its a Mother word

 

Will upload them now then

[Lewis]

Having a gander out the window:

Oops, they might be a bit big

[Space Chick]

Will be brilliant for her to have a friend on the weekend

[Falkor]

Evening all!

 

Oooh Lewis your little chook looks stunning and SO clean Do you fancy popping over here and giving my Orps a bath? Their undercarriages are a little muddy at the moment as they decided to get to the "good" grass via the old dustbath that is a tad flooded

 

Glad to hear things went reasonably smoothly with your FR Debs! Big Suze rocks!!!! And happy thoughts for Nyssa, perhaps she is just a bit hormonal after all this egg laying lark

 

Well this longer days are great!!! I ran out of the office at 5 on the dot tonight and got home in time for a bit of free ranging with the girlies Everybody was out, even the newbies, Bella and Nessie and apart from Brandy being her usual bolshy self it went GREAT!

 

Oh oh oh oh oh !!!!! Nessie crouched for me today for the first time too and her little comb is coming in too!

[Cooks]

awwww little Nessie is getting a big girl now... *proud look*

[Lewis]

Oh, well if its just the Orps then its fine - they count as 3 bantams each

[Geoid]

Was lifeguarding at the pool this evening. Had to jump in and save someone*, I got soaked, and I forgot my spare set of clothes...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*this someone was a metal pole, but still...

[Sheilaz]

You're a hero Fred, metal poles can't swim.

Hope you have dried out and don't catch cold.

 

Surreal thought; we lost our metal pole at badminton, has it run away & taken up swimming?

[Lewis]

Lewis is off to bed

 

Night all

[Space Chick]

Morning all

 

Em, great news about Nessie I am going with cream egg too

 

Lewis, excited much? Today being the day you get a new girl

 

I am pleased to report that Nyssa is seeming a bit better today, she is still hunched a little, but ran over to see me and was fine on her feet, I am hoping it is just a softie

 

Off to work now, laters xxx
