Ribh's D'Coopage

[Aussie-Chookmum]

Ok ~ we have worming tablets to do all the girls.
Then the vet is going to give me something to treat the whole flock for coccidiosis. A very mild infection was present in the feacal sample so it sounds like Gonril was pretty unlucky. And none of the symptoms, like bloody poop, were present so I wasn't particularly thinking that way. I had considered it & checked for symptoms ~ but let's face it, I'm not the best with sickness & disease. I got to show of piccies of all my pretty girls & had the satisfaction of the vet ooohing & aaahing. Yep. She was quite taken with them too.

Lovely pic of all your new jewels in their Jewelry Box.

Having the bantams next to the standard girls really shows how small they are! I hadn't realized the size difference!

CARROT CAKE.

For @BY Bob: 1 carrot cake.

2 cups sugar

4 eggs lightly beaten

2 cups of sifted self rising flour

2 cups coarsely grated carrot

2 teaspoons of cinnamon

1 1/2 cups oil

1 cup chopped walnuts

Add sugar to eggs gradually, stirring well. Combine flour & cinnamon. Reserve small amount of flour. Add flour & oil to egg mixture, beginning & ending with flour. Dredge walnuts with reserved flour. Fold in walnuts & carrots. Pour batter into greased, waxed~paper lined layer cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 ~ 40 minutes. Turn on to racks to cook thoroughly.

Filling:

2 8oz packages cream cheese

2 teaspoons vanilla

1/2 cup butter {I've forgotten this without disaster happening.]

13/4 cups icing sugar [powdered sugar?]

1 cup chopped walnuts.

Mix cheese, vanilla, butter & sugar. Add walnuts. Mix well. Spread between layers & on top of cake. Gives about 20 servings!

The size difference is pretty shocking when you consider they are all roughly the same age. The Japanese & the Belgiums are true bantams ~ no biggies of them ~ so they really are diminutive. Hopefully they are getting used to me. I call when I put out their food so they know it's tucker time. Unfortunately all the big girls were loose when I called the Littlies this afternoon & came running! They were really put out to find I wasn't calling them!

That's so sweet. Perhaps the Littlies will learn from their big "sisters"

She doesn’t look remotely repentant to me. More like ‘Get a move on - what is the use of those weird thumb-things if you don’t put them to good use?’
