Hiya everyone

Sorry haven't updated here for a while.

Had a very sad message from Nita's new dad last week, sadly she passed away after having a prolapse {cry} {cry} {cry}

Fly high little Nita {cry}

Oh I hadn't realised how long it's been since I posted.

At the end of June, I found our little Margie to my horror with blood all around her vent area. Immediately I bathed her in a warm honey bath, slathered her in Sudocrem and she seemed okay.

Then a few days after, she didn't look right at all and seemed a lot thinner than the others - she was all fluffed up and not keeping with the company of Betty and Gloria {cry}

We took her to see our lovely vet Roman, who upon examining Margie, said she had a nasty swelling just inside her vent which was more than likely to be cancerous. No eggs where there. He advised to give Margie warm compresses twice a day and see how she goes. She seemed to be comfortable having these as she would fall asleep, bless her.

Then sadly a few days after I found her and she'd passed away {cry}

Fly high little Margie {hug}


So now we are just two littlies, Betty and Gloria and touch wood (as I always do with my chookies), everything is grand. We're all healthy, getting two eggs a day (even in the hot weather).

Would love to think about getting more, but I'm a bit scared really >coc<

So sorry Bev....sounds like you've had a bit of a time with the ladies.

I can understand you being a bit scared ....They're never here for a long time in this world by comparison but while they're here the life they have with you is the BEST time....and that is all you can do isn't it?

Wow it's a while since I've posted in my diary.

Touch wood, everything is going good - Betty and Gloria are happy and healthy.

Such friendly little souls, whenever I go into their run, they're all over me - I'm not daft, I know it's only because there's a chance of meal worms hahahaha {rofwl}

They're such funny little characters and very different. Betty's about one and a bit now and Gloria will be coming up for one at the end of the year.

I'll have to get some recent pictures to show you, they've really grown.

Going to stick with two for now {hug}
