Re: Happy Birthday OH

Dear OH, I'm still around, though not much to add as I've given up gardening. My son and grandson have grown the chicken business. Chickens, geese and ducks!

Re: Happy Birthday.

... and in reply to Geoff, the poultry business is going fine, but a bit slow with the winter and other things. Things will look up soon I am sure.

Re: Happy Birthday.

I forgot entirely that it was my birthday. Many apologies. I have given up gardening for the time being, but have still got an increasing flock of birds, thanks to my son who is now in charge of them. Apologies again. A month or so and I should be back again, hopefully.

Farewell old friend!

If you remember Old Mrs Brown, I am afraid she finally succumbed to extreme old age at the weekend. She was fifteen and a half, which my son reckons is the equivalent of 238 in hen years!
We will not see her like again.
Here she is a few weeks ago, still telling the world what for!

Trusty Welsummer broody still strongly attached to her little brood when they're eleven weeks old!

Never look a gift cock in the beak

Claude, our French Wheaten Marans cock. A handsome chap with the feathered legs a French bird should have. He was surplus to his owners' requirements and they were anxious to find a good home for him which is why he was a free gift. As an added bonus we already have three Wheaten Marans hens, so it'...

Where did it go?

Suddenly I notice it's totally dark at eight o'clock.
It's been like this all our lives and for millennia before that. So why are we surprised every autumn?
