Oooh I might have to try the damping down too.

I've also noticed that they have made holes in their straw, to get through to the cold concrete flags underneath - clever little monkeys aren't they hey )t'

Since the other day, Elsie hasn't made an egg..... so we're down to one egg a day from three of them!

Glad Elsie is feeling better Bev, one of my old girls was like that last week and I thought it wasn't going to have a happy ending but a couple of days later she was running around like mad )t'
Mine have stopped laying, getting 4 eggs a week from 18 now but it doesn't worry me, shop eggs aren't nearly as nice though {rofwl}
Don't dream it, BE it....


Am looking forward to welcoming Sunny Clucker to Woodbridge Suffolk!!!!!
