basting the chooks!!!

In a nice way of Course!!!!! After Harriets trip to the vet, he advised removing the garden lime from the run as he thought that it may be scorching their little tums.... he gave us some flamazine to apply, but with 6 girls it doesn't go far!!! And at £17 a tube we soon found either sudocreme or a tea tree & lavender alternative....

Now we have to creep down their in the dead of night wearing thermals, wellies, hats scarves and gloves, take each girl by surprise ( as if) swing them upside down and baste them with cream by torch light!!!!

Lets hope we see some improvements soon...............

dustbath

here are the girls loving their new bed!!! I think it's their own version of clean sheets!!!!

SNOW!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the snow came!!!! We are not sure if the girls are impressed or not to be honest... We went out and opened their door to see if they wanted to come out and play, but they were VERY reluctant to say the least.... They did venture out, but only into the outer run.... Penny just stood with one leg in the air shaking it vigourously, then they tried to strip my poor honeysuckle AGAIN and then promptly put themselves back in - now that's a first!!!!
