aww they sound like adorable little characters!

Awwwww, look at her. what a mess she is!! She will look stunning when its over

Aww, so sorry the second baby didnt make it either. I have everything crossed for you that the last baby will make it.

I know!! her leg ring in theory says she is 9 years old But in reality she is about 3 :rofl:

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!! They have a baby SOOOOO excited!!

It has been a hectic 24 hours that's for sure :hap: but its all over and done with now and i am on a mission to be a better mum as these things happen to anyone who thinks it wont happen to them!

very cute!!

That's so interesting AV!!! Will have to get boiling :hap:

Abby has had her teeth all fixed. She was a very good girl and the doctors were so impressed at how well behaved she was. Everything went smoothly and she charmed all the doctors. Her teeth were causing her pain before and she is so relieved now!! :hap: note to self and others "DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATER AT NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!"

they both look like hens to me too :hap: Oh well.... look like you will have to go shopping for some nice cocks

Nice Chicks MB. Great work with the eldest one. I really hope you get its toes okay. Good luck

A brilliant article. So interesting and written so well. It is a fascinating read

VINICA is gorgeous, and check out the fluff on her! she looks so cuddly. :laughter: Love the name too Vinnie + Sootica's = VINICA

He! He! He!...smart move Liv...I bet you requested the bird room. You better change the record cards too, as Kaz keeps a pretty tight rein especially on the better birds...a rub here a rub there she will be none the wiser...LOL. get a couple for me too. Am taking my trusty eraser and my torch, Kaz wont suspect a thing :laughter:

We can make some while you are here WOOHOO!! *Packs her stash of pony beads in her bag*

:rofl: I am more than happy to be sleeping in the bird room. All the more time to eye off which babies will be coming home in my bag with meeee

who would have thought that they are so easy! thanks for showing how they are done! will have to give them a go :rofl:

:rofl: what a scream!!!

They are both very nice!!! Pattacake is such a cute name. The green hen is stunning!! she looks huge next to pattacake!!

Thanks so much! it is far better having it all happen at once as i do tend to stress about these things.... i know i am stressing now :party0011: but this time it will all be over :bliss: She went to bed without her bottle again :party0011: I have decided to ditch the bottle all together - cold turkey and seems to be going okay so far

Is she still raising the chicks? How many chicks and clutches did she have? There are a number of things that can cause the weight loss. many are disease related too :party0011: If you feel its from raising chicks then she needs to be kept in a cabinet (without a box) and given lots of good food to get her back into condition. hulled oats, egg powder and sunflower seeds are a great start for weight gain. most hens loose weight and condition when in the cabinet, which is why it is vital to rest all hens (and cocks) after breeding.

AWWWWwwwwwwww :party0011: :party0011: :bliss: brings tears to my eyes

WOOOO HOOOO!!! I am going to Perth :party0011: After having a huge holiday drought, Hubby, Abby and I have been invited to my birth mothers wedding soon where i will be able to meet a whole side of my family that I have never met before. We were not going to be able to make it originally as the budget is so tight right now, but the ever beautiful Kaz has offered her generous hospitality in letting us all stay at her place. :party0011: I am totally and utterly excited about going! I am bursting out of my skin :bliss: PS. watch out BBC - two admin under the one roof - could mean trouble :tut_tut:

What a looooong day :party0011: I rang my dentist at 8:30 this morning and got an appointment for 10am (amazing to get in the same day!!) Abby was really good with the dentist and i tickled her to get her mouth open . the dentist could see the cavity that i could see so he referred her too the pediatric dentist in Adelaide. We got the appointment for 2:30 today!! of all things! So we raced down to Adelaide and visited the sweetest dentist i have ever met - she was brilliant with abby and abby did exactly as she was told and was a very good girl :bliss: The pediatric dentist said she has 2 holes, one tooth may need a crown , and she is going to do some other little things while in there too to stop problems in the future. So Abby is booked in to the hospital to have a general anaesthetic.... TOMORROW morning!! i cant believe how quick this is all happening. it has been a full coincidence of great timing that for each thing there has been an open spot for her The dentist she is seeing tomorrow is apparently so good that patients travel from interstate to have him and he is only working tomorrow and they could fit her in :party0011:

Its on at the moment here.....
