I have been reading a lot of recent articles on the gut microbiome, and it seems a small revolution is afoot in our understanding of nutrition. Much of it is way beyond me (chemistry and biology have changed beyond recognition since my school days) but some of the takeaways are clear: proper foodstuffs are better than supplements, and the more variety in what we eat, the better.

If you can get it and are interested, yesterday's Food Programme on BBC radio 4 was about it too https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001fvnx

@Shadrach I've also had your family on my mind. How is everyone doing?

Tax for off topic chatter - everyone was out enjoying some misty but slightly warmer weather in between storm systems.

I have wondered what you all sound like! I saw this short clip of an angry Scottish guard and wondered if that’s what Shad would sound like if he saw someone messing with his chickens.
For tax it’s my flock all roosted up!View attachment 3339650

I don't have a Scottish accent.

All are recovering albeit some more slowly than others. Thank you all for asking.

 

[BDutch]

Hope they al recover soon.
Did you have a good weekend yourself even without much chicken time?

 

[Shadrach]

Pictures from the last couple of days in no particular order.
Ive been staying with friends so haven't had my computer. I can't be arsed with trying to do this stuff on a mobile phone.
Waiting for another tarpaulin to go over the black part of the coop. I'm going to create an air gap between the plastic and the new tarpaulin to provide better insulation.
