Morning Scrambles83 how's your day so far?

Not bad, still off work sick, hoping I’ll be back at it tomorrow
And you?

So sorry you are sick, but happy your feeling better .

I'm dong pretty good, the snow is melting and I got out today . We took the Gator down to check the mail and fed the birds.

Hmm perhaps I'll need to be at home longer than a few months, maybe six months.

I myself would not want that responsibility. I know many have successfully done so but I don't have enough faith in myself and/or the dog(s).

I think the key is to have dogs in the yard when chooks are safely in the run and dogs in the house when chooks are roaming the yard.

I'm glad to hear you are feeling better.

That would surely help.

For those who have ever wondered what a chicken on a hammock giving the thumbs up looks like, wonder no more

Violet asked that I share it on ‘chicken chat’ as we call it

Hope it works for you!

I'm about to kill transplant my daphne using this method.

I’m trying to grow some more Frangipanis. The one I was trying to save last year didn’t make it ($100 for two trees and they both died!) I forgot to dry it out first, maybe that’s why it didn’t make it. I bought two tri-colour ones locally; one’s going nuts and the other has barely grown. It also appeared to have some rotting issues so it pulled it out, cut the rotten bit off and left it to dry. The one that’s gone nuts needed a trim, so I cut two branches off and let them dry. One branch I’ve planted where the other failed to thrive (it’s bigger so should get more sun sooner) the sick one has ended up in a pot and the other branch has been planted near where the Liquid Amber was. Let’s see how that works!

I remember those frangis giving you trouble. I've been lucky with mine, except the pink one doesn't flower
