Hello all

Dolly, it's a shame about the hens but I know what you mean. A few years ago we kept four and they supplied us with a constant supply of eggs. As they became older, egg production was reduced and finally a virus took them all off. By that time our children had left home so we didn't bother with any more.

The way food prices are going, however, we may rethink that, particularly as we have dug up the back lawn to grow vegies and the poultry manure would save us heaps on artififcial fertilisers.

As for the Cat laws, it was only a matter of time. We have always preferred cats to dogs but we have always been responsible and had all our cats sterilized.

Allan

Emma so your older than me....I'm 29...in my dreams.

I understand about the hens Dolly. I could never do it though.


Well thats the man been about my blind.should be ready in abt 5 days.

Hello Barbra, Marion, Emma, Joan,Hazel, Allan and anyone else looking in,

Barbra I have at the moment 6 hens, only one is laying eggs about 4 times a week if I am lucky! so tomorrow is cull day, I always hate it when this has to happen, it makes me feel physically sick. Hubby does them and then we dispose of them, we never ever eat the hens, I know when we were on a farm many years ago when i lived with my ex's in-laws, they had hens, and they'd boil them up, I don't think I could do that so I just don't.
I am keeping my very old girl, and possibly the one that lay’s intermittently, the rest have to go. I know it sounds cruel but they were bought for egg production and they are now not producing.

Marion I'm a young ggranmother only 39, well in

Barbara we are all fine thanks. I'm waiting on somebody coming to measure up for a blind..between 9-12/12-30. We are meant to be going out for the day. I hate hanging about waiting on people.

I better go get something to eat so i am ready for off when they come.I will phone at 12-30 if they are not here by then.

Forgot to say,

Barbra, my mum is doing well, she is on an even keel at the moment, fingers crossed she stays that way.

And my youngest lad who had a terrible time having an impacted wisdom tooth removed on tuesday is getting over it well.

Morning Barbra and everyone else looking in.

Congratulations Emma on your expected Great Grandchild/ Great Grandchildren ( it could be twins :) ) and becoming a Great Grandparent.

Allan I think in the long run, the cat microchipping and neutering is a good idea, I do think all cats need neutering, all these kittens that need homes must take over the animal homes, and it isn't just one litter a year for strays either.
I can also see cat dumping being a way of getting out of the new law, but like I said earlier, in the long run it may well work having the new law in place.

Have a great day all of you, and keep dry for us in the UK as we have torrential rain forcast for today,.

I am picking up 4 new pol hens tomorrow.

Dolly X

Good morning Barbra and everyone else

I am back home again. I am waiting for my IBS tablets to work so i can go and get some shopping. It started yesterday when i was at the TNA, not a good place to start i can say :-(

Twins have been poorly with colds, now have cough and being sick with it. As they so young not alot can give them yet.

Wet and dark here today.If i had some food in i wouldnt go out.

So speak later when i get back.

~~~~~~~~~~~to everyone.

Take care

Hazelx

Hello all

Glad to be back. A few problems with the computer and also with the antivirus software. Hopefully all is now back to normal, or at least what passes in our household for normal :-)

Weather at the beginning of the month was really hot. Daytimes over 30c and nights only down to about 24c. A foretaste of things to come.

Fortunately, over the last couple of days it has really cooled down amd we have had heavy rain.

Western Australia has now passed a new Cat Law. Within two years all domestic cats have to be sterilised, microchipped and registered with the local council. No problems for us as our two cats already comply (apart from registration, which has never been required before) but I can see an increase in cat dumpings by those who won't, or can't, comply

Take care all

Allan
