Mum & Dad went to Cape Verde from there in Feb She does always try to avoid there but no option that time. Donny is quite close for us & very handy but it’s really expensive compared to other airports.

Hi, nice to catch up on all your news! I've been a bit awol with my new job I started on the 1st, away for a couple of days for training then a chest infection that brewed a couple of weeks. I had sad news last week and lost 2 of my hens (my only Araucana and one of my silkies that I use to hatch eggs and she was the best one - ggrrrrr). The dog owner is going to pay to replace them so I need to get onto that. Bless her she was so upset and lovely I couldn't be cross. I choose to free range and know I need to get better fences in but they are soooo happy and it is our first predator loss in 16 months for them all living such a happy life! A calculated risk that I choose to take. I managed to slip a few of each eggs into a neighbours incubator although they'll be mutts!

sorry for your loss @PouleChick I agree about the risk, and wish you luck with the eggs!

Good news about the job @PouleChick. I'm sorry to hear about your chickens. It makes a pleasant change to hear that the dog owner was actually upset and offered to pay to replace them. A friend of mine lost 27 chickens and 5 ducks to a dog attack and the owner didn't give a damn. I hope your over your chest infection.

Hope you are feeling better soon @PouleChick
Pants that you lost some birds but how refreshing that the dog owner has offered to replace them.

I got given a hen today! My friend who breeds the araucanas had a black one with a crooked beak. She gave her to me because she can't breed from her and doesn't want blacks.

She fitted straight in with her new friend's!

Nice addition @CCUK Does she manage to eat ok with her beak?

Yes she can eat and drink well enough. It looks like the top beak has gone kind of like a parrot and the bottom is straight. I'm going to see if maybe I can trim it a little. I'm going to let her settle in first. She a little flighty!
