Ribh's D'Coopage

I let the Vorwerks out this morning after a stern lecture on what would happen to them if they misbehaved! It's been 31C & really muggy for most of the day; no time to be in a cage. They've been really well behaved. Pity the same can't be said for Aoife. Apart from the Campines everybody is panting & holding their wings away from their bodies. The girls do have a breeze so it could be worse but it is definitely stinking hot outside.

Please stay cool yourself. I'm really glad the Vorwerks took to your lecture.

The lad has air con & while I'm not a big fan of it in general I can always go & cool down for a few minutes.

Proper name: Ichthyol. It can be used for all sorts of things. Very useful stuff.

Do chooks ever moult when it’s hot? River is moulting but I can’t work out if it’s because she’s hot or because she’s not well.

Also, have any of the Aussies used Triple C? It’s an in-water antibiotic apparently. I’ll also do a search for it on the site.

Yes, Portia is moulting @ present & Lavender always did a late autumn & then a summer moult. Both frizzles. Never heard of Triple C.
