Harriet laid her 1st Egg!!!!!!!!!!

................. and it was massive man!!! A whopping 53gms!!!! No one else is near that! What a clever girl she is... I wonder it there will be a repeat performance???

Also on a good note Margo laid also!!! Fingers crossed it's not just a one off!

Pecked off!

Sooooooooooooo the wormer arrived and the doseage is per 300 birds, so have had to to many rudementary calculations!!! Basically you cut a grape in half, and coat it in worm powder and Bob's your uncle!!!!

So we dutifully went to the run with 6 bits of grape... a Margo stepped up and took her medicine like a very good girl!!! Then she had Babettes, Hazels and Sweeties!!!!!!! Obviously a new technique was required, so Nick distracted them with a handful of corn while I tried to shove a grape down the remaining 5......

Success!!! But not until there was much pecking of the mummy, Hazel took to sitting on my shoulder and the other took advantage of my hands being full and tried to mug me for what I had left!!!!!

Hmmmmmm will try harder tomorrow, Good job we only have to do it for 7 days!!!!

Think we have worms :-(((

Argghhhhhhhhh................ We think we have a case of worms!!! Inconvenient to say the least. Margo has been on strike for a week now, and as she is really well in herself, scoffing like she's never seen food, and has poo's like i'd really rather not describe, between the Omleteers and our books here we have diagnosed worms... We have sent off for some stuff toot sweet!
