I have never heard of a don't eat chocolate alarm before. Is there a story there that you are comfortable sharing?One of my daily reminders in my phone is "slow down, it's a marathin not a sprint" 9am that one goes off. 10am is "don't eat chocolate" sometimes it's already too late
I do not remember this story. That is just awesome.I'm sure I posted about discovering they snore.
I had Ruffles sitting on a clutch in the house nest box. The nest box is about five metres from my bed. It's incredibly quiet here at night. I had been timing her turning her eggs and eventually fell asleep, pen in hand.
Something woke me and I could hear a strange sound coming from the living space. I though maybe there was a wild boar outside grunting. Got out of bed and checked outside. Nothing. Went back to bed and as I was about to fall asleep the sound started up again.
Sounds like that, dripping taps are a good example, have to be discovered before further sleep is possible. I lay in bed trying to locate the sound. I didn't turn the light on this time when I got up to follow the sound. I got as far as the computer chair, a metre or so from the nest box and the sound was definitely coming from the nest box. Of course it stopped as I tried to get closer as Ruffles woke up.
Back to bed. I lay there listening and after a while the sound started up again. This time I just called to Ruffles and told her she was snoring. Ruffles did a bit of egg rearranging and I went off to sleep quietly chuckling to myself. I told all the others the next day that Ruffles snores so loudly she woke me up.
Tackle snores as well but she's more of a raspy whistle.
Not really but I'd eat it every day without the reminder not to and it does have rather a lot of sugar in it.
Dark Chocolate. Enough said.

Peggy has been admitted for liquid feeding. I think this is a good option for her. I'm hoping it turns her around.
That's great news! Congratulations!I've got such a lot of chicken news today.
The latest is that I received the quote from Lady Tradie for the covered run and accepted it.
It'll be 36.5m2 in a U shape with a tree in the middle of the U. The bottom of the U will be 1m away from the back fence so that a paved path can be put in all the way around.
After the path is paved, I'll turn my attention to building a new open coop within the covered run.
Very pleased to have received the quote at last
