Well, as you know the girls have been excelling themselves since we managed to do the worming thing! So to celebrate their wonderful efforts we have invested in a 'egg-skelter' so that they can have pride of place in the kitchen!!!!! And don't they look lovely???
tonight for treats they had probiotic yoghurt with bokashi bran, they loved it even if they did end up wearing it, and then they each in turn scoffed what the others were wearing = clean chicks once a again!!!
................. 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!
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!!!!
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!
This is excise for our girls! They love it!
Well with the spring clean, also come the clean dust bath. However, Penny and Margo were not impressed and decided to make their own!!
I'm afraid the pics aren't that clear, but think you can get the general idea!
Well, as saturday is the only sunny day forcast for the bank holiday it was Spring clean day for the girls!!!
We took the cube apart as much as we could and washed it on the lawn with a power washer!!! Thank fully it didn't take too long. Although there was MUCH poo to deal with! We waited until Penny and Sweetie had laid, Penny is up to 45g now, she's such a good girl, and then when mad with a bucket! Coops was loving it as I think he secretly lurves chicken poop!
The girls took it all in their stride and Penny, Babette and Hazel had their normal chat on the high perch. they just love it up there!!!
