I have a silkie that goes broody way too often. She has hatched 2 lots of chicks, but I am not allowing her to do this again as I get upset when the boys have to go. There does not seem to be a way of breaking her, so 2 or 3 times per day we lift her out of the coop and make her stay out until she g...

Another egg from Daisey this morning

Perchy, the little lady had already laid 6 eggs, but had done so under the decking but this morning the clever little one had laid in the nest box

Lovely pics

Wow, I have never seen a triple yolker before

Wahaaaaay, Daisey duck has laid an egg in the nest box of the duck house

Thank you Chookaholic. It certainly is not a "nice garden" in the nice neat sense. But it is a working garden with veg plot, greenhouse, poly tunnel, chicken home and pond for the duckies. It's my garden and I love it. As for entertaining, well so long as you don't mind stepping over the c...

Hi Amber, what kind of PC are you using, I really struggled at first with my ipad. I got there in the end. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Yes we have fish, the ducks are calls and only small. They have eaten all the weed from the pond, which is what we wanted them to do.

I know this is the chicken section, but I wanted you all to meet my ducks [url=http://s1224.photobucket.com/user/davina112/media/image_zps0c5b2354.jpg.html] http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee365/davina112/image_zps0c5b2354.jpg [/url This is there house, they just don't know that's what it is htt...

Yes she has a drake, I'm not sure if she is broody or not. Are ducks like chickens, do they sit and refuse to be moved when they are broody, if so then she is not broody.

I know this is the chicken section, but if had to let you all know that my little call duck is laying eggs hubby took up a decking board today and found her little stash of half a dozen. I don't really want her laying there, but if we stop her I'm not sure where she will go. At least we know where s...

I haven't posted for a few weeks as I have been disappointed with my weight loss. But this week I have lost 2 pounds Wednesday is my weigh in day, and my treat night. So for tea I have had 2 boiled eggs and 2 slices of thick white bread and butter , who would believe this is what I deem to be a trea...

Are you planning to spray it exactly like that Dave ?

Yesterday was a beautiful day. It reached 83.6 degrees in the poly tunnel the radish are through and so are some of the lettuce, but no sign of the leeks as yet. The potatoes are starting to produce some shoots, so I will probably be planting the first earliest next weekend. We had a tidy around our...
