So happy Carl is recovering well, appps. Must be a relief. Here are some pics of Yahtzee, my new pup. He is 12 weeks old.

Doesn't matter how many times I see pics of yahtzee he is still a whole lot of cuteness.

Such a lot of interesting posts ...

OMGoodness that Sydney weather has been horrid. We're just freezing down here with the odd bit of rain.

That rain brought a little issue for me ... one of the girls had a big ball of mud dried on one of her feet, so I picked her up and slowly cleaned it off ... took about 20 minutes as it had dried like cement!! but get it off I did and she's much happier now (OH saw to them yesterday as I was unwell but apparently he hadn't seen that on her foot/claw/toe ... not sure what to call it ... but it could also have been from today too).

Regularly getting 2 to 3 eggs a day now with occasionally 4. Loving them as they're so tasty and the yokes are a deep orangey/yellow colour such a deep and rich colour it's hard to explain. Even the home grown eggs we were given by friends before didn't have such a lovely colour.

We give our girls greens and kitchen scraps nearly every day .. tomorrow they'll have off-cuts from the rump I cut up tonight for beef stroganoff for dinner (the dogs also had lots of offcuts from that too as I'm very particular to get as much fat off as I can). The dogs got the large pieces and the chooks the smaller pieces but there's some for everyone (not a full meal of course but at least everyone can have some). The chooks will also have the mushroom stalks

with their usual grains.

I avoid giving my chickens, our edible mushroom peelings and stalks. they in fact never get them.. .... We have toadstools growing in our back garden, which I watch out for every day over autumn / winter and spring !!!

.... it's a pain in the butt to do so. Dig them out and chuck them over into the front garden. Some munching on those, made my Golden Retriever, Miss Ruby very sick, she survived, but I have been paranoid about them ever since. And of course toadstools SMELL like mushrooms.

So, if in doubt - don't. .... Mushrooms ( even the edibles for us ) can cause digestive upsets in dogs - and I have read elsewhere, also in chickens. .... Just a thought ....

*Sigh* A picture paints a thousand words ....



Some of those words would be:
Seriously?
Are You Kidding Me?
Again?

There are lots more words but I love BYC and do not want to have a time-out

We have only had light rain here today so far.

Gorgeous spotty. This is my favourite Dalmatian ad.

Too many dogs and rabbits. Had some sunshine today so i manged to get some individuals of my flock. Also some of cluck cluck having a spar to ease her pain just as she had her asprin
tablet


I aslso read through everything i could find on wing clipping - nothing looked suitable as reds feathers are all still growing. I though about how a feather is meant to work, and my choice on what to do is show in a pic here - it is on every second primary of both sides - and works beautifully - he is now flying no higher than 2 feet instead of about 8.

Red, CK and cluck cluck settling in for the night -
I hope CK is a girl - and I'm of two minds about red. Red keeps pecking at cluck cluck, and occasionally tries Sebastian.
If its a girl that will be areal nuisance - cause i really want RiR eggs - but if a boy i can send out to the farm.
If CK is a girl i can hope for a mating with Dorian to see if we can get some really colorful chicks with the nice purple head that cluck cluck has.
