What's new

What are you guys doing right NOW??? ;)

I'm reading and posting on iPF while riding the bus home from work.

Hell yes! I'm all scrubbed out now. I'm sure I came out muddier than they were? Yugh what a job? I banged about as much as I could in case any winter residents were still there. I'm sure I didn't put all that mud in there. Those pesky rats are the limit. The wood is a bit black in places but I'm sure they will still knock down. You guys should have seen me when I was washing the Isuzu. One of my PE teachers cycled past my house and yelled out "make sure you do a good job". Well! I slipped up and fell on my Jackson onto the wet, slippery, soapy bank next to the truck. Talk about getting a fright. I always end up wetter than the truck. Mind you it is bigger than me and I still cannot reach the top or the middle of the windscreen. Have your laugh you guys!!! It ain't no fun being a short stick. Hee Hee. Giggle. Ha ha ha okay, it was funny.

Here you go.


These are my new babies. And a right state of the chicken run they do make. Also it poured with rain yesterday so it's nice and muddy. The black, white and green one is the drake called Jimmy. The white duck is Penny. The two furthest from me are newly called Caramel and Twiglet! Can't remember our original Khaki Campbell ducks name but it will come to me in a mo.

Oops! Wrong photo. That was Caramel by the way. Bloomin iphone hasn't photo streamed the photo. Get back to you.

I can only see the head of a giant duck?

The Archangel
 
Ha ha. Yes, that's the extremely giant head of my new baby Caramel. I'm having trouble with my iPhone's photo streaming ability. Plus I can't access IPF from the iphone so I'm afraid you will have to wait

My newly cleaned skittles. I had to use my ipad camera. I can't seem to log into the Ipf app on my iphone. Sigh!

Finally. First one is Tommy the silkie cockerel (white fluffy one) and Light Sussex is Speckle.
This is the elusive ducks running from me. The sods.
These are our rescued hens from the chicken pie factory. They have grown feathers. They arrived half naked, poor things.

Sorry about the mud but its difficult to keep the run clean with ducks around, messy things.

Great photos and comments Hayles. :)

Have you clipped the chickens' wings yet? Hopefully you will get good egg production from the chickens. They do look happy.

No, I haven't yet as hubby has put more wire on the fence and it seems (cross fingers) to have stopped them for now. Ginger must be stumped! They are very happy. Bert keeps them in order. We seem to have lost one to a fox. She flew out and wasn't seen again. No sign of feathers. It's called living dangerously. It's raining so now it will be all muddy again. Sigh! The ducks love it however.

The main house is one of hubby's dads' chicken houses. It's got wheels but its ability to run on those wheels is now questionable. It must be 80 years old now. It was built in 1930's. Hubby keeps it well creosoted and its got a metal corrugated roof. We have to dettol the inside to prevent mites etc... We also had to line the inside with metal because the rats gnawed their way up through the bottom and took off with my favourite chicken. A lavender Pekin. Lavender was her name. She was asleep at the time. We found her stuck in the hole in the floor. Poor thing.

We also call Mercedes, a Merc. It's just slang for long named things. It's like the scientists use symbols instead of words when doing element and compound equations. Al - aluminium or K - potassium.

I'm sitting and reading after finding my old skittles in a mud filled box in the field. We forgot it was there under the nettles. I've scrubbed, and bleached them. Not sure whether the wood has suffered unless they are thoroughly dried out. They were an old pub's set we bought from an auction. They were a bit battered when we bought them. They are usually made of a strong wood to sustain all those knocks they receive.

I am trying to get all the sand out of my hair - ugh!

Over here we call a Mercedes a Benz. I've heard them called Mercs, but too many people have Mercurys and big boats with MerCruisers both of which are also called Mercs
 
Coming home from 1,5 hours walking in the rain, trying to warm up. Despite using an umbrella, I got wet. :-(
