Title: freedom, oh no...
Post by: northfifeduckling on March 13, 2012, 03:26:03 pm
my chooks have discovered the rest of the world over the last week after 2 years in a rather large garden. Nothing I can do than hope they'll come back for the night! Even that's been a nightmare when I heard a screach from the hen house, went out at 5 o'clock on crutches, had to catch 2 that were obviously NOT inside the house....I do dispair at the moment with being infirm!!! A limping duck in isolation, 2 useless and randy drakes I can't even think of catching and one casualty so far(my favourite duck)... :'(The family's doing their best but are out most of the day. I just feel like screaming!!!  :&>

If you need a hand with catching the drakes for what ever i'm more that willing to offer a hand!

I was going to come over today with Ellie but had to change my plans with this labyrinthitis, damned thing - not allowed to drive further than 5 miles till the tablets take effect - hopefully by the weekend.
