Lewis Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 We were talking about the broody earlier and he really didn't get it! "So, she's hatching some chicks ... just because or what? Where will they be going" Mother said it was all sorted and not to worry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Shirl Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Morning, I'm back from the land of looking after guests. Am quite worn out and looking forward to a quiet day to myself. Was too last night to come on this thread, so,drowned my sorrows in a hot chocolate and a packet of biscuits. Hope you are all well, and the foot is getting better Sandie, chicks are all in good health Em, eggs are nearly ready for hatching Lewis. Have a nice day Debs. See you later.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 morrrrning all I have washing washing, dogs still sleeping (lazy moos), ironing looking at me.. (what does it want???!! ) and the chooks are egg annoucing... very loudly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Morning! Well I am at work when I really want to be at home to see if i have any babies hatching...fingers crossed something has happened by the time i get home. Hi Shirl! Great to have you back! The five chicks are bouncing about nicely, eating me out of house and home and flicking bedding everywhere but they are TOO cute for it to bother me Sandie - hope the little ones were ok in the eglu overnight and you didn`t get too damp in your sleeping bag Cooks - give those dogs a poke! If I am up then they should be too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Shirl Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 It's so good to be back amongst you crazy folk again. Looking after an 88 year old is ok but can get a bit wearing. getting on with washing and ironing and all the things we neglected to do in garden. Sun is out and chooks are making lots of broody noise. Heaven You could always have some cake Cookie if the ironing gets toooooooooooooo much. Can't wait for news of more chickies from you Em.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hello everyone *wave* Sorry i havn't been posting much, have been feeling quite low. Don't feel 100% myself and despite extra security measures have had two more bantams taken We are now pretty sure it's not a fox and think it could be a weasel, stout, or mink.
