Smart Door Power Options

[Angela & Ken]

Thanks so much, Loumabel. Unfortunately my husband despatched her and took care of the remains. Normally we bury our girls but felt we had too many pets here - 4 hens, 2 dogs, so he didn't want to bury her and I didn't think of the freezer, but perhaps, if were really unlucky, next time.

 

We have had some years without heartache, actually, so I suppose we're doing something right.

 

We spent the whole day bleaching, disinfectanting, scolding, scrubbing, etc. We do that every other week with a good clean every week and in the summer every 2 to 3 days, but this time we bleached and sterilised EVERYTHING from the footpath to the soil, flower pots to the polytunnel, patio, even the compost bins. My hands are sore and dry, even though we used our gloves (I kept washing my hands and our shoes. We've sterilised our foot ware, the wired bars on the eglus, the kitchen and its floor (do this often anyway), run covers, I've gone bonkers infact. My poor hens.

 

Having said that....they are fine. Even the one I thought was limping (my husband said she's just fat and short, a bantam) and she's not now. They were fighting each other, as normal, and today two of them "mounted" two others, which I've never seen before. Crossed fingers.

 

Thanks so much for your support.
