feemcg Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 8 boys and 2 girls went to their new homes yesterday then I had a big clean out jetwashing eglus and replacing hemcore in the runs. The 2 wee ducks then went out in the growers run with the 5 remaining chicks (3 are going next week and I'm keeping 2). So I have my utility room back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Oooh.....what is a Splash maran? I haven't heard of those. Sounds exotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Oooh.....what is a Splash maran? I haven't heard of those. Sounds exotic. Our cochin is a splash (but we call her lavender)...she is a grey colour with splashes of purple/dark grey. She is literally "splashed" with a darker colour randomley - with no pattern!

chelsea Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Any chance of a picture. the ones in my gallery of her is when she was really young with no developed "splash". Now she is older there are more splashes appearing but I dont have a photo of her at this age at the moment. I will get one though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 My ood news today is that i have made 3 necklaces, got my antique chair back from the restorers which looks brilliant and painted my toenails a shocking sparkly red! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 My girls' good news is that they freeranged all day today - from 9am till 4pm. I used to only let them out if I was looking on from the kitchen but I'm getting a bit braver. Foxes don't generally come out during the daytime .... do they? .

theherd123 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Im not sure but still play it safe. I never let my girls out unless im out with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 ooh Vicki, be careful. Depends if you're in an urban or rural area, but I live in a town and the fox strolls across the garden at any time of day. Or he did, till I got a Foxwatch - I wouldn't risk it. We want this to be the Good News thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 - I haven't ever seen a fox during the day, but you're right, I suppose I need to be more cautious. I'm sure they're happy enough in the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Ooo Emma can we see piccy's of your necklaces - I love handmade jewellery!!! My good news is - We have nearly finished painting the kitchen! Then got to polish the floor with special stuff & move the furniture & table round!!! I'm soooo happy! My other good news is I am going to get my bantams at weekend! A friend of my sisters has a smallholding & lots of ducks, chickens & bantams. She has a mummy & 4, 8 week old female banties for me. They have vorwerk & ? in them...some are white and the others gold with black neck collars!! She has various others I can choose from too. She only had a pekin cockerel available unfortunately, but is breeding in Spring again from the pekins. She also has a frizzle pair from which she is breeding from next year, so I will need to order another eglu next year me thinks! Sister, is picking up 2 muscovy ducks, 2 call ducks, 2 chickens & a baby bunny rabbit from her! We will have a right boot full! I'm soooooo excited!

Martin B Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I don't think Emma should be posting in here today, she's only had bad news. Whereas, I had a lovely present from my old friend Liam when he scored an own goal and reinstated the fact that Villa are the best team in the Midlands.
