- My weed strewn garden has a lot to answer for!
I'm late posting AGAIN! I really am trying to get my vegetable garden sorted out, but with all the rotten weather we had, then going up to Scotland and even more wet and cold weather after I returned, I've only really got to grips with it this past week! So I've been trying to catch up, in between feeding, watering, cleaning out and chatting to the chickens!!!!! But at least my seeds are coming up nicely in the big greenhouse, and many things I've potted on. Really need more greenhouse space, but the other 2 greenhouses are acting as sheds at the moment because my sheds turned into brooders! (…)

- Another Weigh-in today!
Well, the new Babcock chicks are 15 days old today, and I took a couple of photographs of them and gave them a weigh-in! Their average weight is now 105 gms each, which isn't bad as when I tried to weigh them last week, they only seemed to be just over 42gms. So they must have been smaller than the Amberlinks at the same age.
They still look really dinky though! Had to take one out today as she was being pecked. I sprayed her with purple spray, but the others still kept pecking her. Then I tried the vaseline and liquid paraffin. Okay, it sort of worked as when each one pecked her, they got a nasty taste and didn't do it anymore, but they were all having a peck, so I took her out and put her in a big box in the dining room. I've put another with her for company, and I'll keep them in there for a couple of days until her tail heals a bit. (…)
