PurpleTree Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 My girls got hold of a mouse the other day, don't know if it was left in the garden by a cat, but Bubble was running round the garden for ages with it in her mouth with the other two in hot pursuit. Didn't keep watching as didn't want to witness them eating it, I assume one or all of them got to eat it in the end anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chick wiggle Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Bleughhh i feel slightly ill now with all this talk of devouring dead rodents Ahhh, just had lunch too i have taken the cube and eglu apart washed, rinsed and poultry sprayed them and now they are left in the sun to dry. Poor Noodle cant even get in her nest box if she tried, so i have left her out in the garden with the others. if, after i have put it back together, she goes back in there, then I will put her in the cage. It sure is blinking hot out there Got me t-shirt and shorts on oh, and 1 sock, gotta keep my foot covered - its an attractive look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 One sock defo sounds like a look Sandie! Well - perhaps it is a good thing that I am ill and need to be close to the loo - just been outside for a bit of fresh air and noticed a little grey fuzz ball at the door way to Maria's broody ark - it was a little chick! Yay it has hatched but boo that Maria was not looking after it. I spent 15 mins with them popping the chick back under her and she kept pulling it out and throwing her out of the nest I have brought the little chicky indoors and popped her in the inccy....now need to set up 2nd brooder/partition current one. Anyone got any clever ideas on how to split the electric hen in two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Naughty mummy chucking her chick out. Oh if only I had the nerve to do that. She's heard that youngsters stay with their mums forever nowadays. That means humans you silly bird! So how will you solve a problem like Maria? Hehehehe Oops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I am just not sure what human daddy will say when he gets home to see a second brooder! Millie chick out of the inccy now too with a CLB well on her way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkor Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Of course you can have pictures! As soon as I have set up brooder number two (knew i brought that ebay rabbit cage, lamp and bulb for a good reason) and they are moved in. Don`t want to open the inncy if I don`t need to as still have eggies pipping. Maria has another chick out (mille) but so far she is covering this one It is very damp still so only just out whereas little Pingu (rescued chick) was more or less dry. Will pop back out in a bit to check on things. Her last two eggs have pipped too. Just got some toast down....feeling a tad better now...fingers crossed no more sickness or anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Bonjour They tried to deliver the eggs earlier but I didn't get back from school in time! and then the delivery office shuts at 4 I finish at 12ish tomorrow so can go to the delivery office then Broody is coming later ... and Nugget has decided she loves the Go + so is sitting firmly on her egg in there!

Chicken Shirl Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 It's a lovely avatar Emily. I hope Maria settles down Em. Strange that she has accepted one and not the other. Piccs of your Little Pingu soon please. Will you put her back under her mum tonight? Good to know your a little bit better.x Tea and cake Cookie hands cookie the freshly made chocolate cake. Sounds as hot as it is here over there. *Wipes brow* pours self long cool drink. before going to cut the lawn. I love these longer days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Tis rather odd about the chick being rejected Like the new av Emily Just had a driving lesson, mine is a month away - he said we don't need 2 lessons a week so hopefully thats a good thing? Just sat watching the eggs for 5 mins and no wobbles or cheeps, so hoping the chickies are alright in their shells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
