Ribh's D'Coopage

@Marie2020 : this is where the discussion on black ointment begins

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

Had problems finding this in Spain. Good reminder. I'll see how easy it is to get here.

I've missed something or become confused or forgetful.

Who is that chocolate coloured darling behind Aoife?

It's the light MJ. That's Wrold.

The tribes were generally okay at up to 35C. Above that and I saw them holding their wings away from their bodies to increase the airflow. I'm a bit surprised your lot find 31C so hot.

Luna doesn't do well in any sort of heat. She is always the first to start panting ~ usually once it goes over 25C. The Campines were still out foraging & most of the bantams are in a hot tin shed brooding.

This country is difficult and that's putting it mildly I scoured the internet but can't find it here at all.

The that has the same name is yellow and contains paraffin. I'll try again tomorrow I'm exhausted tonight

I do hope I'm not being a problem but if you could possibly give me some the ingredients used I could maybe try making my own.

Thanks so much for your help

I think this is the stuff Marie.

Only it's unavailable @ present... I saw similar things on Amazon so there might be other products.

No surprise there.

Sif has decided she likes being a house chicken. Any time the door opens, she scoots in.
You can see her toes are starting to straighten out again. Not all the time but enough she can hobble round.

Wow. I can’t believe she is improving. Good job, Ribh

Good morning/evening everyone

Sif is looking really good

I do too but I'm not sure you would have loved what was emanating from her this morning. I've never heard man or beast make a sound like it. It started as a sort of crow ~ like cockerels make when they first start, only higher, & then it sort of began to trill only the trill sounded like she was choking. And gosh! She was loud!!! It was such a terrifying sound I looked for a predator in the yard.

You have to try and catch that for us. I know it's hard but that would be so worth it

In certain light Maleficent would look brown too. Something with her lacing I always thought.
