I just put my plastic wheelbarrow into the chicken run.  It's always full of clean rain water and newly drownded beasties and the mud sinks to the bottom

I also meant germs, Paul. Had I put it up yesterday it would be full now...

same here. if we had ducks they would love it. sounds bad but we need it its been very dry this summer.

[northfifeduckling]

not here! do you live in Spain, Paul? The ducks have turned every sighting of a worm into a major mud puddle! I thought last year was wet but this beats it - ENOUGH!

My chickens have learnt to swim

Shetland the land of the horizontal rain. but for the last two years we have been very dry and sunny. can't say hot it rarely get above 70 but the long days make up for it 20+ in summer. but winter its dark most of the time.

  your name might have been a clever disguise, like mine (I really live in New Zealand, lol)
you've had it better than us then, we had a few nice days in June and July I can only just so remember. Skye had 44 days non stop rain I heard, I so feel for them...

What I want to know is who killed all those spiders?

how would you keep the water fresh. are the hens miles away from the tap.

well, it rains lots here, so no problem topping the thing up with fresh water

make sure it has a lid on though so nothing falls in

a water butt??? :-[someone p-l-e-e-z-e tell this American what that is!

How many other 'amusing' words can we think of, here are a few for starters:
Butt - a container for water
fag - a cigarette
fanny - an old fashioned ladies name as in 'Fanny Cradock' - the no nonsense cookery expert.

Come on everyone there must be loads more.

My husband (when he worked for a famous American firm) once said, (when presenting in America, to an American audiance)
 "We (the English that is) give you a perfectly good language and all you can do is mess it up!"

OMG - My all time favourite. ALUMINIUM Look how it's spelt IT IS NOT A L U M I N U M - it's AlumINIUM
No offence intended, just having a joke - honestly!!!



























































































































































Oh my all time
favourite has to be
Aluminum.
