    Oh Nooooooo

    One of my Rhodie growers (Rosie) is singing the 'Strangulated Goose' song . He/she doesn't look any different to the other two though, except he/she is very slightly larger. Dotsie and Sadie are looking on stunned, I just hope they don't decide to join in!

        I'm not sending him back! It just means organising yet another house and run. I'd sort of resigned myself to that anyway. And we're getting another plot later in the year so space won't be an issue. On the plus side, I've just got back from the plot (OH is still there, but our daughter and her husband are coming for a meal later so I've to get that started) and Elvis has turned into a real mother hen. He sidled up to the babies, looked on for a while, so I thought I'd lift one out for him to see better. Well he didn't like that at all and squawked at me until I put it down. Then he tried feeding them through the wire, pulling up bits of grass for them. It was really sweet. Anyway we popped him in the enclosure we'd made for them and all were getting along like a house on fire when I left. He's making clucking, hen type noises though. If he didn't occasionally crow and have all the cockerel furniture I'd have my doubts about him still. So, fingers crossed it looks as if he has some laydees of his own.

                I think this is OH's secret fear too, . But the big house and run can stay on one plot and the two smaller ones can move to the second plot when we get it in the autumn. Simples! Elvis is very protective of the youngsters still and (probably fortunately) is treating them as a foster father would rather than as a potential suitor and all three seem very happy together. The little uns are following him everywhere, definitely a bit of hero worship developing there.
