posts all comments atom all comments followers web site hit counters saturday 25 september 2010 my worst day as a smallholder yet i know i know i promised wonderful things and i haven t delivered i fully intended to blog today to talk about the hens and the new additions baby stuff and pictures of pretty views and beach s and to say thank you for the comments and messages about the baby thank you x butbloodshed put the stoppers on that last night a mink got into my big main hen house my hubby went over to let them out this morning so thankfully i didn t have to deal with the carnage in the house he said it was like something from a tarentino film somehow it had squeezed in through a gap between the door and after its killing spree got it self caught in the rat trap when hubby came and woke me to tell me what had happened he couldn t tell me exactly how many hens had been killed or who they were as there was blood and feathers and bits lying everywhere but he had a rough idea who was missing when he let them all out into the paddock he went back over to clear up the mess and deal with the mink that he described as the most evilest looking creature he d ever seen thrashing about in the cage giving it the full blast of a 12 bore i went over there expecting the worse as hubs bless em can only recognise a few by name but they few he d told me that were missing were the ones i was dreading and sure enough that f ing mink took most of my favourite girls and one of my boys its so quite and empty over there its missing a funny sounding crow a couple of banshee like screech s if you ve read my posts about my hens who ll recognise a few names holly my gorgeous silkie cockerel who i ve nursed through sour crop mycoplasmia injured leg and wings he was a little fighter he always pulled through and came back stronger and he always pulled this funny face when he crowed bending his neck at an almost 90degree angle 2 young sweet bluebell pullets who had just started laying on this week boo my beautiful bossy buff sussex who was always the first to see me when i enter the field and would shout to all the others and run towards me flapping her wings trying to be the first to get at what ever food i was bringing honey an ex batt who would never lay in the nest box in her house but always find a way to get into the other paddock and use the bantams hen house wonky my lovely sweet wonky with her lopsided wing and a lopsided leg who was the most friendly hen i ve ever had she was also the most greedy she would also wobble about chattering to self in her own little strange world and try and jump up on to my knee whenever i sat down but whats feels the hardest is that it took 2 of my original ever girls tallulah who was beautiful and sweet and always looked after any new hens that got put in with them when i put boo in with them all the others really picked on her and wouldn t let her perch but tallulah would snuggle up next to her she loved being picked up and cuddled and margo my squawky glamourous boss hen she has laid an egg everyday except 8 since i got her she was grumpy stroppy and loud but i loved her it really strange atmosphere over there even the other group in the other hen house are acting quietly i ve checked over the remaining girls and they all seem fine not bites and already i can see new groups and friendships forming ben the cockerel is very quiet he has bite marks and bald patches on his legs where i d like to think he gave the mink a good kicking trying to save his girls margo and boo were his main girls everynight he d perch with them too either side of him and holly was his little sparring partner when i moved all the flock about holly and his girl isabel were left without a run and a home so i put my sweet little chap and isabel in with ben knowing i was taking a gamble introducing two dominant cockerels together straightaway holly went for ben even though holly was 3 times smaller than ben ben gave as good as he got and holly ended up on his back and ben just muttered at him and walked away to dust bathe since then they ve got on fine like to old geezers sat in a pub drinking ale together and avoiding the wives i have a lot of hens there and i m lucky it only got 8 but it hurts that it took them there are some new additions there still nameless a few exbatts some young lightsussex hens that i would have been sad to lose but even though i ve had them for a few months i didn t have a bond with them like boo and wonky and tallulah i know if you have animals you shouldn t care more for some than others but its inevitable you ll build a relationship with some i know to some people they are just chickens just livestock things we use to get eggs and chicken nuggets and there are far worse things happening in the world but as sad as it may sound to some people they were like my little friends and i miss them already its so heartbreaking that some evil vermin just broke in there and destroyed them i don t even want to go over there i just feel so sad there is a saucepan full of cooked up veg peelings potatoes and pasta i made up last night for their lunch today i added extra potatoes because wonky being wonky and slower than the others always misses out on potatoes bless her little heart and right now i can face not seeing her face waiting and calling to me if i wasn t preggers right now i think i d get drunk jess x p s i got ill for a few days a couple of weeks ago and didn t get out to feed sidney always missing him and seeing him swimming far down the river so he decided i d stopped loving him and has gone i hope he s found some friends but i did manage to remove the string from his leg p p s on a happy note the baby seems to be doing really well and regularly dances about in my tummy and gives me the odd roundhouse kick i have high hopes of a riverdancing kung fu master p p p s i will return with a new look blog and happier regular posts soon promise posted by jess at saturday september 25 2010 8 comments labels babies bad things chickens friday 27 august 2010 times they are a changing i m still here just about i ve been wanting to blog for the last 2 weeks but haven t found the time and when i have i ve felt bleugh the reason i ve been absent feeling ill feeling uninspired allowed my beautiful well planned well tended garden to turn into a hugely overgrown unkempt jungle waste land forgotten to take photos of my little chicks and a whole heap of other things that have gone to pot is i m having a baby i m almost 16 weeks now and am feeling much much better the sickness has gone the tiredness is getting less and i m generally feeling less yucky me and hubby are so excited i can t describe it as well as a little tiddler on the way i also have a few other things happening the first being the fact that as of the end of september the day after my next scan we shall be taking delivery of a bunch of gloucester old spot pigs which will be a bit tricky if i m still sick at the thought of eating anything pork related so with all the changes going on i want to revamp my blog when i first started this blog i wanted to have 2 my garden smallholding blog and a general blog where i ramble on about randomness music films my art and craftyness clothes thrifting and cooking now i ve had trouble keeping 1 blog consistent let alone starting another i ve wanted to blog about stuff but felt it was out of context with chickens and flowers so i m going to combine this blog with the plans for my original other blog sometimes all i feel i do is although i ve been taking it a bit easily lately major understatement is water plants and feed chickens and as much as i love that there is a lot more to me so i hope my small collection of blogland friends stick with me and follow my exciting journeys ahead sssssh they might be some brand new poultry on the cards as well jess xx p s i ll be changing the name of the blog but keeping the same url p p s i m so sorry if i ve worried you john x posted by jess at friday august 27 2010 3 comments wednesday 28 july 2010 woe is me i m feeling ill again feeling ill is rubbish i hate it i ll post some pictures up before the weekend of some of the adventures i ve had in the last few weeks on the days i haven t felt poorly including the wonderful belstone village fete that john was asking for but i didn t take that many and some photos of the baby chicks who are growing up so fast i m off to retire to the sofa to drink apple juice and wait for midsommer murders to come on tv jess x posted by jess at wednesday july 28 2010 7 comments saturday 10 july 2010 breaking news gwenny fairfaxs 4 eggs have all hatched photos tomorrow as right now i really need to water the garden jess x p s tomorrow is also my favourite summer village fete posted by jess at saturday july 10 2010 2 comments labels babies chickens eggs monday 5 july 2010 little weekend miracle on saturday whilst checking on the gang before going out to a really rubbish village fete isabel came stalking out of her little box shrieking and growling like a mini monster so taking my life in hands i had a peak in the nest and saw one of the eggs had a little crack in it my first thought was that isabel had stood in it and broken it i carefully picked it up and heard it pipping so i popped it back in and left isabel to it this was what i was greeted with yesterday morning when i opened the box up this is the first set of chicks that i ve you know what i mean hatched out and i ve found the whole thing so incredibly amazing sorry to all those that this is old hat to but its mind blowing i put three eggs under her as she s so tiny so 2 out of 3 isn t bad ben s the daddy but i m not sure who s eggs i picked out i can rule out the 2 welsummers and maran tallulah the bluebell and wonky her eggs are of a curious shape i think i tried to avoid picking the 2 light sussex s but can t be 100 so in theory that leaves boo the buff sussex margo and sugar and honey the warrens hmm will have to wait and see gwenny fairfax s the cornish indian game eggs are due this coming weekend i put her and isabel on eggs at the same time but after 6 days gwenny had somehow got out of her little run and in with the chicks she may have been in there all morning for all i know so i ditched the eggs and replaced them with some fresh ones she is being really sweet and docile which is very unlike her usual feral nature i hope it may long continue and that she is as lovely to her babies as isabel is jess x posted by jess at monday july 05 2010 2 comments friday 2 july 2010 roll on november one of my mates emailed this to me last night i ve watched it like a million times since ok so that s an exaggeration but you know what i mean and every time i get goosebumps i m so glad they re doing it in 2 parts and i really hope its as good as the book when i read the book at the end of the first chapter i slammed it shut in shock and cried oh how i d have loved to have been a kid when these books came out jess x p s if you want to see it not sliced in half as my blog seems to have done here you go posted by jess at friday july 02 2010 2 comments thursday 1 july 2010 m i a i am still here just i ve had a few things going on that have made me want to retreat into my own little world for a bit then i ve been ill then the broadband went down for a few days and now hubbys on holiday so we ve been busy fixing fences and henhouses and gading about the countryside yesterday we went to paignton zoo i didn t like the crocodiles and walked round clutching hubbys t shirt with my eyes shut what a baby but feel in love with these little fellas what a fabulous mustache i shall return next week with news of isabel and her trio of eggs due saturday my three new hens i bought over the weekend and the 4 ex exbatts that i m picking up tomorrow evening my garden that i have been neglecting and stories of the village fetes i ll be going to at the weekend right i must go and wake up the mr its our 2nd wedding anniversary today so i plan on taking him out somewhere where he can buy me something pretty jess x posted by jess at thursday july 01 2010 1 comment friday 4 june 2010 catching up so it feels like a while since i ve talked about the chickens and quail and ducks i m planning a few changes and shake ups over in my field so my flock of layers ruled over by gorgeous ben the light sussex are all laying like mad and enjoying dust bathing in the sunshine my star layers are wonky margo and pixie over the weekend i m going to introduce the little quartet of bluebells to their paddock the bluebells are about 16 weeks old now and getting quite big i expect ructions from cloud my delinquent welsummer and general superiority from margo and pixie i haven t given them names yet as i m still unsure if i ll sell a couple of them or not the little one who suffered quite badly from having her tail feathers pecked out and her vent damaged has come on great guns but i m still worried about whether or not she ll be able to get an egg out a few times over the last couple of months when she s look uncomfortable passing droppings i ve thought about dispatching her but we ll see what happens when she comes into lay the bluebells are currently living with the two adorable black silkie boys who are tiny but have suddenly become men crowing which sound so cute and doing the little well hello there ladies dance and trying to mount the blues who are 3 time their size up until yestrerady i ve been umming and ahhing about keeping them to increase the gene pool when i finally get some silkie hens to breed from however yesterday these little balls of fluffy cuteness crossed the line i let them all out in the morning and straight away they started hassling the bells so being as i was standing in their run i intervened and gave them a stern talking to about chivalry and how it was the decent thing to let the girls grab a bite to eat before trying to sexually assault them when the little monsters turned on me which would have been hilarious if i wasn t wearing shorts and very inappaortiate footwear i was lucky to escape with my life i almost fell over the electric fencing fleeing from the li...
