Hi Gwen, I have also lost hens. In the last 6 months I have lost 9 hens and only have three left. I also lost my cat, Tiger who was 17 years old, a couple of weeks ago and feel very much like you that I am jinxed and I'm not sure if I want to get any more pets, at least for a while. Don't think you'...

Just thought I would let you know that Top Chick died in her sleep on Friday morning. She was a lovely friendly girl and I will miss her snaffling the cat's food and nicking my coffee. I'm sure she had EYP at the end but she hasn't been 100% for a couple of months. I think she thought she was a full...

Sorry I haven't been on-line for a while but I have re-directed 15 different people to the hen rehomers website in the last week from ads placed on-line.
They may be too late for this rescue but will hopefully be willing to wait for the next.

Go girls!!

He was lovely. So sorry to hear your news Manda.

What a hole they leave in your life when they go so suddenly.

Rest peacefully Mr Tolley

Bless him.
He had a great time

It left me with a smile on my face for the rest of the day, Kate.

I don't drive so don't see the animals killed on the road.

The closest I usually knowingly get to wildlife is what the cats used to bring in before they got too old.

It was magical

My one is just like Popalops, but bigger.Also raised on a tree stump like his.

They still get all muddy from dirty beaks.

You can get drip feeders but mine would rather drink out of a mddy puddle so I'm quite happy with mine

I went to my allotment yesterday. I was just having a break when I saw a little brown body run across the weed-cover and then - yes - a weasel running across my allotment.

Only the second time I've ever seen one and it made my day.

Just thought I'd share!!

P.S. I saw a weasel!!!

Thanks Al, what a lovely gesture

My allotments aren't too bad but I wouldn't want to get chucked off for something little like selling excess produce, not that I'd tell them. LOL

Just can't wait to get some produce this year

I've got three new beds (after 10years!) and in my sunniest one I am going to put fruit. I already have some strawberries and just planted some rhubarb and will get some fruit bushes this weekend. Are you thinking Wilcos Misty? They have black and redcurrants, green & red gooseberries, blueberr...

So sorry untouch,

I hope his last days are his best.

You can visit my allotment if you like, Al I would love something like that! One word of warning re your produce (and please correct me if I'm wrong) but I was under the impression that it was against allotment rules to sell the produce you grew. Although I believe it is fine to sell or rent someon...

2: The worst thing is, someone round here has a dog and throws bags of it's poo on the ground, instead of taking it home. I mean, whoever it is has already gone to half the trouble of picking it up - why on earth are they dropping it on the path?! There was 3 bags under the hedge of 2 doors down, o...

Hi Mousy. I used dog nail clippers on mine. You just need to cut them if they're affecting how they walk or get about. Otherwise I would leave them alone. If you do need to cut them, the wick is a lot longer than you think so don't cut them too short and have a dish of flour ready in case there is a...
