Dear Pointy. Wife of Smidge, sister of fellow exbat Hobnob. This is how I'll always
remember her - full of curiosity, always exploring whenever I heard a rustle out she would pop

Very sad condolences from the House of Special Poetry and Reading on the loss of lovely Pointy, who was a very special girl indeed. Tigger especially sends her condolences as she too is an ex working girl like Pointy was.

HI. Sadly Bloomers passed over the bridge Friday 4.50 pm in my arms . Looking over the garden she wandered .
At peace at last after a long illness.
Missing her already.

Hi all, It has taken me ages to get over Bloomers death. I did a write up on Fri/Sat am but lost it..
I had decided that if she was not improving by Sat morning I would have to do a mercy killing. Not what I like to do but when neccessary (Road accidents etc. ).
She died quick in the end and thats the best of it.
I also had another death on Sat morning .
A fledgling sparrow. Cat caught it and I put it in a cage outside the window hoping its mother would feed it.
Now I thought as it was well I would see if it could fly (making a good atempt..I held it in my hand . It flapped and took off to land a couple of feet away . In rushed a chicken and grabed it . My mistake to do it in the garden.
I grabed the chicken retrieved the bird. Put back in cage .I then decided to put a bit of wood in it for it to perch on. The sparrow climbed the wood and escaped through the wider top bars . Gone as did not see it go. Back in kitchen cat flap opens in comes Indie bird in mouth. I grabed the cat and retieved it again back in cage no wood . Night came and I put the cage in the dog cage . In the morning I arranged to take to wild life rescue but it died before I got it there.
Sat Cambridge Sunday Buithe Welles ,Wales racing all day trip 230 miles each way 1.5 hour race. ( 2hours in my case.)
9 eggs on Sat 10 Sunday .Flock went to bed on there own all present and correct.Got home 10.15pm after leaving at 7.00am . Warn out. Dogs for a walk . Let the girls and boys out this morning 5.00 am . grass cuttings in the garden for food and pellets/corn in run. Booked a ballon festival at Tiverton Got told off by Karen (she who must be obeyed as she wanted to go to Bristol one in August. Ended up booking a bed breakfast for the bristol one as well. Turning hippy as Tiverton is a music festival as well...This is the weekend as I go to Seville which will add to the fun.
Hioe all are well and write agian soon.
Bob and now 26 in flock. with three to come in June.
Bad year continues .

The House of Special Reading and Poetry is so sorry to hear of the loss of Bloomers, and the loss of the little sparrow too {hug}

Tough year for the House of Bob (the big chicken daddy) but a happy year too as every day out of Chicken Captivity is a good one (as well as being one of our Rights under the Chicken Manifesto) so please don't feel too bad Bob.

I am afraid to inform you of the sad loss of Captain Gwen of hens (002) at 11.45 today. Gwen was stoic to the end, being true to Capt Gabby's outlook on life and illness. She will be sadly missed by all us girls, especially myself who has lived,fought,played and sunbathed with her since for the past couple of years.
