Well i look after 12 chooks for the ex (yes we still are in touch occasionally)

I have them for a while longer

one disaperred- wondered if it had been eaten.


2 weeks later i heard a cheep in the second barn that has a very dogy floor -on level 1

she had been all broody and sat on 6 eggs -

im a dad

the ex bouht 5 day olds down and now shes raering 5 after one was sadly lost

great to see her sitting on them all at niht every night despite the speed there growing


(cats eating the flowers as i speak )

cat is nosey about the babies
german shepherd (yes i have him here still  bless him  again for how long i dont know ) hes very nosey as well -chick went to give him a peck -

he ran across the room

Great to have you back, daddy. It's a big responsibility now - teaching them to peck and stuff  ;D
