Well, the plot still looks like a bombsite but at least it is safe for another year. Got my rent notice last week, got to go to the office and pay for the coming year. Works out about £29 which is quite reasonable given the size of the plot!
Chooks are doing well, egg laying is tailing off but feathers are re-growing and they are starting to look less 'plucked'. Worried about my chicks as the bigger girls have started ganging up on them and one of my little Marans may be under the weather. She sounds chesty, its the only way I can describe it, going to treat the babies to a marmite sarnie tomorrow, give them a vitamin boost. The littluns have started staying in the shed a lot, staying out of the way, but at least it keeps them out of the cold as much.
Was sitting in the shed talking to the girls, as you do, when one came in, settled herself down on the nest and started straining..... and kept on straining. I was getting quite nervous and beginning to think that she may be egg bound when a look of sheer relief came over her face. When I saw the egg I knew why!
Got a fantastic bargain from B&Q. A 6'x2' greenhouse by £20. It was an absolute bastard to put up given how small it is. but it is going to provide extra valuable space for young plants in the spring and toms/chillies in the summer next year.
Got a few new pics as well.
Cheers
