scarlettohara Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I thought that when they hatch we could all bury our heads in the sand together My life is so pants atm that I have decided to laugh rather than cry (and drink wine obviously) Roll on Tasha's BBQ - can't wait to see all my friends and have some fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I did have visions of a pekin sat on an ostrich egg before I read the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckyBoo Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Maybe you SHOULD hatch ostrich - that'd give you something cheerful to focus on!! (I was so excited when I read this, having seen our chicken perched on top of two goose eggs the image was TOO much ) Hope things pick up missus, in the mean time, like you say, you have to laugh otherwise you'd cry BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I was just thinking wow you must have a really big back garden.... I'm sorry you're having a horrible time at the moment and I hope that things pick up for you soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Several big hugs coming your way at Tashas honey xxx As for the Ostrich.... It's a very low fat meat.... Maybe speaking nicely to a pekin isn't a bad idea, although the shock of hatching a chick that's bigger than her may not be the best plan ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Even it's head would be bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I have a wonderful image in my head of a chicken looking in astonishment at an enormous egg and thinking "wow, how did I lay such a big one?!" Hope things get better for you, in the meantime laughter is good therapy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I'm sorry you are down hun x Are you coming to the Poultry sale at Brackley on Sunday? should be a good hours diversion if the weathers good - Bagforce are opening for a few hours too as they are next door, could be considered an 'essential' journey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Blimey Sara - headings like that scare me - an ostrich in an Hertfordhsire garden - when its grown send it round to sort your ex out. Sorry you might be moving as you are prob the only Omleteer near me who I could suggest a coffee too - every one seems to be norf of Watford. Sorry u r feeling low - big hugs and kisses from Mill Hill - waves - chin up kid and lets have a coffee before you leave Ali x Edited June 19, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
