today is bitter

What, to you, is "bitter"?

What, to you, is "bitter"?

About 7 degrees Celcius when I got up with a wind chill factor that is making it feel a lot colder than it actually is. We are up to 16C now & I've just turned the heater off but I am still wearing 2 jumpers & the wind is making outside unpleasant. Nothing to those of you who experience snow & ice but that's almost unheard of in my neck of the woods.

Aww, little Enzo. How’s he doing Bob?

 

[LozzyR]

She’s snoring gently on my chest.

Aww, little Enzo. How’s he doing Bob?

Full of life and vigor. He's doing great. Thanks for asking

Everyone wanted in this morning except Sydney.

I was putting my girls up last night [& we all know what a circus that is ] when my neighbour called me over, worried about her Langshan. By the time I got there, there was nothing anyone could do. She was fine just moments before, strutting round their yard as usual with her Cochin buddy, then laid an egg & collapsed. I gave my neighbour some Amprolium, just in case, for her other hen but she promptly offered me the Cochin. I was rather flabbergasted. I know her partner doesn't like the chickens but they actually belong to her daughters & I was too stunned to explain adding a single chicken into an exsisting flock is never a good idea. I feel so sorry for the cochin. She is penned today & looks so sad & loney & my girls are all round the other side of the house sheltering from the wind. Cochins have never been on my want list & my neighbour says her girls haven't laid in 6 months! They are only young hens so should still be laying fairly regularly.

Wow! That's quite full on. I feel like they might've given you time to think about it. On the other hand, she's probably better off with you. Is she a bantam cochin or standard?
