Good to hear from you Bob - I was wondering what had happened to you as I miss your posts. You still sound busy enough at work, whether that is a good thing or not, I don't know. glad you and your animals are OK. Stay safe and well yourself.

Hi Sandy. I have been trying to sent you PM (but doen't seem to be working for me).
Thank you so much for your message. Unfortunately I do not have access to Whatup but if things change I will let you know as I would love to be included. Once again, thank you.

A belated Happy Christmas to everyone on this Forum. I have been having problems accesssing The Forum over the last couple of days!!. Just want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone that has supported and helped me over the last year with all my chicken issues and queries. Karen, Bob, Sandy, Kitty it'...

A belated Happy Christmas Karen. Not been able to access The Forum lately!!! Just wanted to thank you for all your support and friendship with regard to this Chicken keeping business. It means a great deal to be able to 'talk' to all you wonderful people, who are a source of comfort (when things go ...

Hi Karen - Violet will be five years old in February. She is the oldest girl I have ever had. I love these Warren girls but because they are just bred for intensive laying I find they have a lot of internal problems and don't live to a grand old age. Vi looks very old now - I can see it in her face,...

Hi Sandy and everyone. Dare I even say it, but Violet is doing OK. She seems to have finished her partial moult and is getting around well, even reminding the youngsters that she is still the boss!! I have been giving her a bit of cod liver oil on her treats and I think this could have helped her wi...

Great to hear your updated Bob and glad that everyone is doing OK. Still no news on your retirement - they really want to keep you don't they? The land sounds interesting and would be a very exciting prospect, but I suppose you have to see where you are work wise. Don't mention rats - I saw one this...

So sorry to hear that you lost Ronnie. What a wonderful age she was and you were so kind to give her another chance at a wonderful life. It's lovely that the person you rehomed her from really appreciated you giving her this wonderful life and what a kind gesture to send you flowers. I know the feel...

Hi all. Bit sad news about Violet now. She was doing so well for the last couple of weeks but she has slowed right down now and is very wobbly walking. Still eating and drinking OK but I think she is very, very tired now and really showing her age. Bought her some sardines today and put some cod liv...

Don't believe how long it has been since I have posted. Just a brief update for today. My two new (not so new now though) girls Vera and Agnes are absolutely lovely girls. Their little personalities have really come out. I think they now realise we are NOT going to eat them. Agnes is such a cheeky g...

Hope workwise everything turns out for your Bob and that you can enjoy all your time with your critters. Hope you still carry on writing though - love your adventures and stories and would really miss them.

Excellent photo's Karen - really enjoyed looking at them. You are a very good photographer.

Nice to catch up with you Karen and glad everyone is doing Ok during this moulting period. I was wondering where everyone had gone // forum seems quiet at the moment. My Violet is also slowing down and we were a bit concerned about her a while ago. She would amble around the garden and then stop for...

So sorry to hear of your loss Bob and that Freezer is not doing well at the moment. Always such sad times, but they are all lucky to have 'found' you to love them and take excellent care of them.

All sounds good Bob and glad everyone is doing OK (long may it last).
