Hi Ethel and welcome from the North East. It sounds like you have a great flock for producing eggs and great personality..... leghorns and ex bats are both curious, sharp and quirky. I know nothing about Anconas except that they lay white eggs too. I bet the ducklings are cute but they grow up...

@Yorkshire Coop Oh Kim, I'm sorry to hear some of your quail babies are not doing well. The last update I saw, they seemed to be hatching like pop corn! It is so hard when they need to be culled. I don't envy you that job! Is Keeper still recovering well. I saw that Charlie had had him out...

@Yorkshire Coop Hi Kim Yes, it was snowing when I woke up and there was a good inch on the ground and it continued well into the afternoon until it turned to rain. There is still a lumpy white covering but it is horribly wet.... and don't even mention riding to me.... I haven't been in the...

@Sainty1346 Hi Paul and welcome from snowy Consett! I understand you didn't get a dusting of snow up there today... unlike us. Sounds like your girls are doing well. What breed(s) do you have? Do you have much of a problem with foxes up there? Regards Barbara

@GreenUpNorth Hi and welcome. I'm also in the North East, near Consett. What sort of poultry do you have? Tell us a bit more about yourself.... do you have any other animals etc? Best wishes Barbara

@Pluckingawesome Oh! I'm so sorry about your other pony. That must have been so upsetting. I didn't know they could get that either! There are enough issues horses can suffer without getting human ailments too! Those are all great photos and what an attractive couple you make! Such lovely...

Unlike you who are clearly talented with a camera as well as horsemanship, I am not good at taking photos. I have one of my partner's young horse Zak when we first got him as a 2 year old (the harness was just put on him for the photo.... we did not start driving him until the following year)...

Oh WOW!!! They are fab and he is gorgeous and obviously a bit of a character! Well done you for trying all those disciplines with him. I've got 2 more for you if you haven't tried them already.... driving.... welsh cobs are just made for it.... and sidesaddle!

Waiting for the flood of photos. Can't see any of us complaining:pop

@Pluckingawesome (that's a bit of a naughty username but love it!!) Hi and welcome Great intro and yes it sounds like you could have taken a slightly different career choice which might have been more beneficial....think staff discount on veterinary care!! But then we need people like you to...

@Yorkshire Coop The thread is a great idea and a lovely way for people to get to know you better and keep up to date with you as well as for you to keep a sort of informal diary. I don't envy you rush hour traffic in the city! Good luck with that!

@Yorkshire Coop I just read your update on the "Charlie and Harry" thread.... not sure why I hadn't come across that thread before.... anyway, great news both as regards Keeper and your new girls.

@Yorkshire Coop Hi Kim Yikes! 2.5k is even more horrendous that I imagined! Hope they have over estimated and it comes in a lot less or at least a bit less! The crown I lost has been replaced but I'm almost certain it is the tooth next to it that is actually causing the problem. It is too...

@Yorkshire Coop Oh no! Poor puppy! That sounds like it might be hugely expensive but hope they manage to fit you in to get it fixed up soon. Thankfully, after ringing the dentist's all morning from 8am without managing to make contact (in between trying to feed and defrost water animals), I've...

@Yorkshire Coop Blooming Heck Kim!! It's nice to know I'm not the only one who has drama when I hack out, but that sounds a bit much.... especially the horse hitting the deck too! Pleased they were both OK and she had the bottle to get back on.... well done to her for that! I had hoped to get...

@Yorkshire Coop Hi Kim Congrats on your new girls and great that they have put down a deposit on their new home. I hope they settle in quickly. The middle girl looks a bit pale, so I would guess it is the other two who are laying but I'm sure with a bit of TLC she will come good too. Congrats...

@Yorkshire Coop Thanks Kim for the tip off.... will check it out when I get a moment. :thumbsup

@boskelli1571 I've tried brining but it is bulky and I don't have a large fridge and the ones I brined where no more tender than those I have done without, so I'm not converted to the technique as yet.

@Yorkshire Coop Hi Kim Pleased Harry is enjoying his new fodder. Fingers crossed it does him good. You are wise to grade it in rather than a change suddenly. Don't want any upset tummies. My sister has lured me towards natural horsemanship rather than training aids but I can see the benefit...

@chicknovice123 Yes please don't feel like you have to go the whole hog first time. It has been a slow and steady process to get to the stage I am at now. Don't set yourself too daunting a task the first time. Make it as basic and easy as possible. I would recommend just doing one and give...
