I cannot believe it is nearly 2 months since my last blog and here we are in a new decade with Snow everywhere.
December was the usual hectic month which was made worse with the early Snow we had here in South Lincolnshire causing all around us to grind to a halt the first day.The snow and icy conditions held off just long enough on Sunday the 20th for us to meet Louise,Andrew and the girls at McDonalds on the A17 at Sleaford which is roughly half way for us all so we could give Emilia her 11th Birthday present.(Her birthday is actually on the 21st but she was going to the Panto)
Christmas was great.Although it did not snow on the day we had lying snow so we could say we had a White Christmas.Tracy came with her 2 cats(At least this year one of them did not manage to get itself locked in the Fridge) and Louise,Andrew and Girls came Christmas Day.They all stopped till Boxing Day.
As usual we had a quiet New Year.
Some things do not change though and the Chickens still need feeding etc.Water is a problem and for weeks now we have been defrosting and giving them fresh water every morning.
The Gold Laced, Brahmas and Japanese we hatched in October are old enough to go to new homes.They should be off heat but for last few weeks we have put heat on at night because of the extreme weather.
We had 4 Blue Buff Columbian Brahmas born over Christmas and we currently have a couple of Cream/Buff Wyandottes and Some Blue Partridge test eggs "Pipping"
We were looking on Preloved website yesterday with a view to advertising the Gold Laced and came across and advert for Gold Laced Chicks from "Show winning Stock" with a picture of one of OUR GOLD LACED HENS on it.The picture has obviously been taken from our Ebay advert for Hatching Eggs.Anyway if someone wants chicks from the ORIGINALS please contact us although we must point out we DO NOT SHOW OUR CHICKENS.
