[Suechooks]

Thats sad Flummery. Not very old either if I remember correctly?

OK - well i havent updated this in a while, got rid of a load of birds when we moved to wale, so i shall deduct my original 145 birds i had at the time of moving completly, then add in the ones i have now - so 2335 - 145 = 2190.

to this add:

Marsh Daisy (4)
LS bantams (3)
Black Orpington Bantams (5)
Chocolate Orpingtons (3)
Dorking (3)
Indian Game (2)
Millefleur Barbu D'Uccle (12)
Quail Barbu D'Anvers (3)
Porcelain Sablepoots (2)
Black Pekin (6)
Partridge Pekin (3)
Silver Partridge Pekin (3)
LS Large Fowl (2)
Red Pekin (2)
Jelly Bean (1)
Dorking X (3)
Cream Legbar (4)
Olives (2)
Black Silkie (2)
Black Cochin (3)
Partridge Cochin (3)
Buff Cochin (2)
Ex-Batts (45)

Total Number of "chickens" = 120 so the runnig total is now 2190 + 120 = 2310

if only i could add non chickens such as turkeys, ducks, peacocks, quail and guinea fowl we woudl be able to add in another 63 birds!

I lost 2 this winter, so 2311, but hadn't added our new 3 from earlier in the year to the total so that takes us back up to 2314

2314 minus pekinx2, silkiex4, light sussex x2, buff orpington x 2 , 4 silkie chicks all sold today = 2300

[petal]

2300 plus 12 exbatts (was going to be 10 but I just had to rehome beaky and baldy too)2312

RIP freddie

2311, I lost my little ex batt freddie today, she had battled with a prolasped egg, which before christmas we thought we had conquered and she had started to pick up again.

However over the last week she became very frail and the antibiotics didnt seem to do any good, she was drinking but seemed to dribble it back out again, eating rice so I thought it must be a good sign

But alas it wasnt to be and she went quietly (I hope) in our garage last night - tucked up in a bed of hay and a small heater giving her a little warmth.

She was free of her cage for 12 months and a wonderful layer.

nite nite

Sorry to hear that Tick. I always get a lump in my throat when it's ex-batts who go as they have such sh...y lives before release I feel they deserve so much more once out. At least your girl had as much time free as she did in the cages and a lovely life as well.
RIP little one x

sorry to hear that too tick and well done for giving her a wonderful life and a dignified end.
