CAMPYLOBACTER: Anyone else had it?

[Lewis]

 

 

 

Lewis is looking for naked neck eggs - I found some on ebay t'other day but they've been BIN'ed

[PurpleTree]

We've just had snow! What is going on with the weather?

[Lewis]

Really?!

Its cold, but sunny here!

[Space Chick]

I can confirm that it has been snowing in South Wales

 

So sorry to hear about your girl Claire

 

And to hear about Clooties bunnies

 

Well, I tried big Suze in the rabbit run with Tegan and she started picking on her instantly Now I have a quandary, due to the change in the weather, as am concerned about Tegan sleeping tonight, should I try another girl, should I put her in the cube and whip her out early tomorrow, or should I leave her on her own and hope for the best? Ultimately, she is in a cat carrier inside the WIR, and has Tarpaulin covering the outside, so I don't think it will get too cold, and Nyssa is still sleeping on a perch in the run with no ill effects

 

I am picking up her new sisters tomorrow, so tomorrow night she'll have 2 girls to cuddle up to. I just hope they all get on

[Lewis]

What about putting Dorothea back in with her just overnight so she doesn't peck her, but can share warmth

 

Does anyone think a lemon pyle brahma (LF) is too big to hatch with the next lot and then go with the banties? - the ones at the farm are all gentle giants, but don't know if its a bit too big and I'm getting carried away?

[chick wiggle]

Hi everyone

Blinking internets been down all day

 

Claire, so sorry about Pumpkin, what a shock for you. Poor Pumpkin RIP

 

Lewis cant help, dont that breed

 

Debs, aww, poor little Teagan, could you try Dorothea in with her maybe?

 

Cookie, lovely pics, where should i post mine, they look to be exactly the same size

[Cooks]

post yours in my thread if you like or here... I dont mind..

[chick wiggle]

Ok, heres Talulah

 

 

She looks the same size dont ya think?

 

Hang on, I'll put it on yours, it'll be easier to compare, *rushes off to Cookies thread*

[Lewis]

Aww

 

Her crest is huuge

 

She's probably the same size, if a bit taller - on Lyns' photo she's beanding down

Sorry

[Valkyrie]

Lemon brahmas - they are gorgeous. They have them at the DTB centre. WANT! Now don't start me off again!

 

Sunny here now - what a waste - just before it goes down. My lot are happily beating up the new shrubs I put in the other day. No Sioux you do not get in the middle of the branches and scratch!

 

How about bringing the cat basket in as it's only for one night. Phil could have a liddle cuddle before she goes to bed.

[Cooks]

if you look at mine where they are in the kitchen you can see how big she is really, she was being awkward..

[chick wiggle]

yes, your right, she looks like shes getting herself comfy on the top of that cage

[Cooks]

yes shes a minx

[chick wiggle]

Right I suppose I should go and feed the human livestock eh?

Catch ya all later

[Lewis]

In a bit Sandie

 

Lewis wants a brahma but doesn't know if it'd fit in with the others *hmmmmm*

Billy the Brahma at the farm was a big softie, and the belgian quail + pekins used to bully him so he had to be put in one of the stables with some younger chucks!

[Space Chick]

Don't know what to advise on the Brahma. All I know is that my Brahma bantam is having a hard time Even though she's bigger than 2 of my large fowl

 

I think you'd probably be fine Lewis from what I know of the breed.

 

I have looked at the weather report and it is slightly warmer overnight tonight than it was last night, so I think she'll be fine. Also its a few degrees warmer in the run than in the garden.

 

I want to do as little as possible to cause Tegan distress, bless her heart.

[Geoid]

Im back, still have this damn cold but much better now Easter Holidays have started

[Lewis]

Didn't think of it from the other way with the LF (being picked on).

 

She should be ok on her own overnight then, is it healing/scabbing ok? - then the newbies tomorrow

 

Going to see Kick Ass at the cinema later - friend is picking me up in a bit

 

 

Hey Freda - how did your big presentation go?

[Valkyrie]

Hi Fred - nice to see you again.

 

We had 7 eggs! Mercedes was the party pooper today. She was the only one not whingeing too! So we could be on course for 8 as Sioux seems to have definitely broken her dry spell and what a long sausage it was!

 

Now we are inundated with eggs and I'm scoffing as many as I can and getting egg bound no doubt!

Going to make lemon curd at the weekend and some meringues.

Hey Freda - how did your big presentation go?

 

The scab is looking good (as much as scabs can ) its healing very nicely. I just that she'll be OK with the Columbines. They are younger than her though, so fingers crossed

 

I have the spare Eglu and run is push comes to shove.

 

So Fred - how was the presentation.

[Lewis]

Ooh eggs - I forgot

Jemima has been laying every day for the last 4 days - seems a real novelty after so long without eggs! She started laying in the wendy house but today was in the nest of the Go

 

Nugget is still on an off the nest - I've left her an egg in the nestbox (as not to be rude, you understand ) and she's sitting on it on and off

 

And my other eggs - the Diamond Doves.

I had a look when I got back today and there is a tiny chick in the nest

I looked really late last night and they were still eggs, so only a few hours old - couldn't see the other one because Judy was sitting on it.

[Laura & CTB]

Hello Fred

 

Sounds like a bit of a stressful time Debs, hope it gets all sorted soon.

 

More chickies Lewis

[Valkyrie]

Oooh DD chicksies. Haven't a clue what they look like Lewis. Cough hint cough. Unless you can do a linky thingy for us.

Well done Jemima. I take it you are waiting for babies rather than do what I would do - scoff them.

Debs - if it doesn't work Tegan can always come here for a holiday.

[Cooks]

Evening all.

[Valkyrie]

have you been off here then Cooks? Hadn't noticed from all those pages I have to get through! Hey Lewis - Cooks is over here now - quick you know what to do.

And how are you Cookie this fine evening?
