Chickinitis.

Post by Steve valentine »

I think I've got it, real bad.

Sat in the coop this morning, put my coffee down, cheeky chucks made a b-line for it.


Hmmmmm, perhaps I need a cup rest?

No, even better, a folding cup rest!

Are you sure it's a cup-rest. Looks like a RORO nest box to me.

Or a seesaw perch.

If Miss Ellie is too far for you Steve how about near Derby? I could find loads of things for you to do. I can throw in a cask of Pedigree

There is no way I would take my cuppa into the run, it would be full of nasties within moments.

Did your ham sarnie have mustard Perchy as my lot always steal my ham&mustard sarnies. The little uggers tried to run off with our bowl of crisps today, apparently cheese&onion is their favourite.

I can't put a cup of tea down when the girls are free ranging. They all stick there heads into it. I forgot to let my OH know that the girls liked tea.... He soon found out when he tried to bring me out a mug the other day. Our Amber Star Lilly jumped onto his shoulder and tried to stick her head into the mug yike* {rofwl}
