    Probably because they seem like a good idea until you try to get them out of the oven with a hot baked something in them. Wobbly as all get out apparently!

    Thank you, I think she’s very pretty too. Well as the main reason for the freezer block was to cool her down I would say that worked. However a couple of days at the beginning of her sit didn’t put her off and she’s still broody so it didn’t work as a broody breaker. Afraid I wimped out after 2...

    Millie the Pekin has been panting through the UK ‘heatwave’ then decided that 30+ c would be a good time to go broody! Put a well wrapped freezer block in her nest and a cordless fan and she just tried brooding the freezer block! Guess it cooled her down a bit. Bless her she is a serial broody...

    Much as I would love Fret to pull through I completely trust your judgement. Fret obviously is an unhappy hen and, as she was bought by C then it is for them to decide. Fret was named, loved, got to be a proper chicken as much as has been possible under your care including raising chicks and...

    Review by 'L-plate chicken mum' in article 'Hedges for forage and cover'

    Excellent article with great pictures, Perris. Love a good hedge - I would say they can’t be beaten, however many of the older ones that form parish boundaries still are - if interested in this British eccentricity see https://heritagehunter.co.uk/beating-the-bounds/. I think the oldest UK hedge...

    That all sounds eminently reasonable to me. Have found many people don’t want to help out for the greater good on allotments or anywhere else for that matter - worked for many years on public open space and most people were only interested in what they wanted from the space and signs were meant...

    Or, if you want the definitive guide to grass identification books in the UK and some online resources: https://bsbi.org/grass-id plus at least a x10 folding hand lens / loupe or, if like me your eyes are not what they used to be, x20 :lol:

    Encouragingly there is a growing “movement” finding new ways to use wool around the world. Here in Britain we have what used to be the wool marketing board championing its use (last link) https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20230413-can-regenerative-wool-make-fashion-more-sustainable...
