beckyfitz Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 ... will it stop raining? ... will my chicken run stop looking like a Hippopotamus' hollow? ... will my chooks be able to dust-bathe instead of mud-bath? ... will my white duck stay white for more than 30 seconds after her morning bath? ... will it warm up enough to not dress for the arctic just to walk down the garden first thing? ... will I not have to wade through poopy mud to open up houses in the morning? ... will I not have to wade through poopy mud again which has miraculously returned despite being cleaned up in the morning to close up in the evening? ... WILL IT BE SPRING?????? Becky x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFeatheredFiend Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 When indeed. Our garden is now so soggy that an increasingly large pond has formed in a hollow in the lawn. It's now got so big that a pair of wild mallards have moved into the garden and spend all day swimming on our lawn and quacking loudly every time we walk past to see the chooks.

chicken bark Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I think it must have been the longest soggiest winter ever. Spring has GOT to be around the corner now. I'm beginning to think my Amber Star is actually a Mud Star. Ducks seem to be loving it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Ugh, I know exactly how you feel! I have been putting bucket loads of wood chip down in the garden over the last few weeks to try and cover the worst of the mud, but the ground is so awful it just gets stamped down by the hens in a matter of days and we're back to square one. They don't seem to mind it, but I'm fed up of wading around in mud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouldercroft Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I'll take your mud and swap it for my 2ft of snow My poor girls haven't see anything green since Dec 26th - it's driving us all crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debsygooch Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Wow FeatheredFriend - that's not a garden, that's a park!! Lucky you having such a huge garden, I bet the girls love that. My garden is so muddy that my OH slipped over and landed on his backside on Sunday. Even the cat hates going into the garden now. Roll on the spring and some dry sunny days!
