As you know I am the most unhealthy person. I suffer from Asthma and excema, like I get hospitalised a lot. ( Most people didn't know a skin rash can put you in hospital ) Because of this I take lots of tablets, steroids. So now I have Diabetes!! caused by the pills I take. In the past few years I h...

This is Marmite. She was supposed to be a Large fowl but isn't. Lays little eggs too. http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w448/sazchops1/D6A1A62B-BCC9-40FB-8766-613437078FC0-6698-000003A709B06031_zps08ec28e8.jpg Here she is with Heidi, Blacktail, as you can see they are about the same size. Martha m...

Queen Anne's Lace! That's the one.
I'll leave it alone then.

Why don't you get a few Point-of-Lay girls? All your girls have been older, even Marilyn. If you get Point-of-Lay or younger they will grow up with you and hopefully love and NOT peck you. I have a Black Orpington who has turned out to be a bantam. She is the most gorgeous thing, I have never felt f...

I was going to say Light Sussex. Mine lays large pale coloured eggs. My Blacktail is the best layer, large brown eggs, approx 300 per year, she looks just the same as my ex batts except for 4 black feathers in her tail. I also have a Bluebelle, not a very friendly girl but lovely eggs, kind of pale ...

Well done Miss Ellie. As you know I haven't been well. I have eaten SOO much rubbish for the last week, and 3 meals a day which I don't normally. However I weigh less now than I have for years, lost 3 kg since xmas which I am pleased with. I am being tested for Diabetes so looks like I really will ...

I buy Quick soak peas. They come with a little bicarb tablet wrapped up.

Is Ground Elder the same thing as Cow Parsley?
If so there will be loads near my house soon.

Of your choices I have a Bluebell ( and an ex batt ) Gabby is not really a person chicken. She is hard to catch and pick up, no way could I get her if free rangeing. She is a good build and lays good eggs, had about a month off over xmas. Martha, my ex batt is lovely, I have had her since October, s...

Just plain awkward
Mine all lay in the same one and sleep in the other

That definitely deserves a CKK

Hi Brook Cottage and Welcome to The Lane
Sorry I don't have any advice but the advert on the telly says Saniflo can go any where.

Yeah think I will wait before I rush out to buy strawberry plants. We haven't had much snow but lots of frost.

Please can I ask where abouts in the country you are?
I would like to get on with gardening, maybe get some strawberry plants, but I am up North and not sure its time yet. My Raspberry canes arn't doing much and no sign of the Garlic I planted at New Year.

So sorry Bev
It sounds like your little girl had lots of lovely days with you, she knew she was loved but went back to say bye to her pals.

Thanks Lyn. That is brilliant. Sorry to hear you suffer too. I have always thought it was my asthma but even now just thinking about it my heart is pounding in my chest. I will make an appointment with my GP. but feel like I am always there at the moment. I am a little stressed right now so hopefull...
