Can't believe how long ago I last posted - but I do always check in with you folk to see what's going on. Hope everyone is OK and staying safe and all your animals are doing well. Just a little update on Olive really. The last couple of days she has been struggling with her walking and resting a lot...

Oh dear Bob you sound as if you are having a rough time of it at the moment. Sorry to hear to loss of Big N. Always an upsetting time. Yes I think you should take your own advice = Take care and stay safe. Hope the anitibiotics kick in and you start to feel better really soon. You have a lot of anim...

So sorry to hear of the loss of your blue and yellow ringed hen Bob. Always so sad but you said she was a good age and what a wonderful life you would have given her with your devotion and caring for your animals. Your neighbour sounds like a very unreasonable person. Keep calm and carry on. We have...

Beautiful girl - what amazing photo's. So sad, but you made her life so happy and enjoyable - you can tell from the photo's how much she enjoyed her life with you.

So sorry to hear about Mango Karen. Always such a sad time, but what a happy life she has had with you. Loved the photo's and glad the newbies are settling in well. Scary news on the badger front, but it sounds as if you have done a good job in securing everything. Fingers crossed they will leave th...

Glad you have still got the ducks Bob. Do you intend to keep them or are you still looking to re-home? I know exactly what you mean about work. Been furloughed now for 13 weeks and don't want to go back!! The longer I am at home the harder it will be. I too am enjoying the time in the garden with my...

Lovely to know that you have re-homed two more rescue girls Karen. Looking forward to the photo's!!

That must have been a scary experience for you and your animals. So glad no harm came to anyone. I have seen foxes during the day here so I can never let my girls out when I am not around to watch them. A couple of years ago a fox got my rabbit and it is such an upsetting experience. Like you though...

Hi Karen. Olive is doing fine at the moment. She is still doing all the usual chickeny things and is still enjoying life thank goodness. The only thing she cannot do is jump up on the tables with the other three. She is still making it up to bed at night up the ladder, but sometimes this is a bit of...

Oh Bob you really do have your hands full with so many to look after. I think that perhaps Daisy and Donald have landed on their webbed feet with you to look after them. I can't see them going anywhere else now, especially if you are moving and getting more land. It's amazing how quickly we can get ...

Thanks so much Sandy. Sorry to hear of your loss to.

Thanks Bob and Karen for your kinds words. Means a lot to me to know that you feel the same and it's nice to be able to discuss the ups and downs of this chicken keeping lark. xxx Not sure how to check my inbox Karen - will see if I can suss it out!! I am a bit computer illiterate!!!

Hi all. Just an update on Olive, but, unfortunately, it is not good news. I collected her from the vets at 4.00pm yesterday and basically the outcome of the scan showed a great mass in her stomach that wasn't fluid (reason why draining would not work). Vet seems to think it is either a build up of e...

So sorry to hear about Samantha Bob. Never gets any easier does it!!?? My thoughts are with you.

Beautiful Karen! You are very clever and the photo's have turned out amazing.
