I iz in the cave like a good little hermit should be..... still chasing chickens, being a doggy doorman for the 3 bassets & 4 cats, digging here & there & watching last years tomatoes re-seeding in the polytunnel - soooooooo many flowers on them, they're doing great this year now I ignor...

Hello !! Well well.... I've not been in for aaaaages :-D SG my luvly - as most of the old gang know, YOU only ask questions when you're being a tad self-doubtful lol I have a couple of inc's here & used them very well in the first couple of years. Now I leave it to the broodies - after getting 2...

CA, sometimes it's good to have a little break - but I'm glad you're feeling better... even if it meant that you had to feel bad first... if you see what I mean!! :iconbiggrin: As for Twiglet.... well she's too busy drooling over pics of young men & thinking of folks to slap on FB!! And yes, I a...

For Diatom, I use www.diatomx.co.uk. I got a huge bucket full last year & even with all my lot, I've only used less than half - this is used for worming the birds/dogs/cat/sheep, dusting the houses for mites, dusting the chooks themselves, sprinkled around to get rid of ants/earwigs/woodlice.......

BE Day was the Services Brown Envelope Day - when the boys all got the notices of redundancy from service. :( The 2 bars in the Barracks were both open all day, but most of the lads chose to come to us for the day & many left the envelope opening until they got there. For some it was a good day,...

...snip... Julie is lovely, her picture reminds me of a wonderfull landlady who looked after me when I was 17, ...snip... Only if you meant a pub landlady, & you were in the Marines & based in Deal in the early '90's!! 'My Boys' & I enjoyed 5 years in 3 different pubs around Deal, Kent ...

Hi Garye, speckleds are nice birds, good layers, very nosey.... mine will try & fight their way past my legs to get in the kitchen - full of character! The bluebells are nice birds too - but positively scream at you if you disturb them when they are in laying their eggs! I give ours rice & p...

Now I know I have my issues, but I am really not that bad! Yes it was a joke. I thought it was funny! I had already acknowledged this. I thought it was as daft as blaming the government for having special offers on high fat & high sugar goods........... Oh, I do love you Julie! :grouphug: Now s...

Yep, it's the all round heat that an egg needs, as well as a regulated humidity. I have a couple of incubators - my smallest will definitely do for hen eggs and guinea fowl eggs - but turkey or duck eggs? Forget it! The eggs will develop, but then the humidity isn't stable enough for hatching & ...

Annoying me are badly typed, gramatically poor posts, where the poster has broke the "Caps" button, and all punctuation marks have disapeared from the keyboard! Oh come on - you're joking.... right?? gramatically = grammatically disapeared = disappeared And you wonder why we use smilies.....

Ann, if you keep savlon antiseptic, or even dettol, that will cure most wounds. All I keep here is apple cider vinegar, garlic, and I make my own poultry powder with ginger, chilli, fenugreek, sugar & anything else I can think of! Apart from that I keep Flubenvet (after losing 4 birds to gapewor...

Hmmm.... I have to disagree. My mum used to blanch just about everything, oh - by blanching I do of course mean she boiled them to within an inch of their lives!! So I don't.... nothing... apart from broad beans & that's only because I like to slip them out of their jackets for the freezer. I ju...

£5 a year rent huh??
