In fact I'm going to have to swap him, as he won't let Gwenny go past him. He even tries to attack me occasionally. He certainly thinks he's the boss.weirdbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955841382032017678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17260180.post-76499161553160741352007-05-21T17:35:00.000+00:002007-05-21T17:35:00.000+00:00Congrats on the hatchling, I'm with you when it co...Congrats on the hatchling, I'm with you when it comes to the cockeril situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17260180.post-75944277521537632272007-05-21T14:46:00.000+00:002007-05-21T14:46:00.000+00:00I love the photo Jane.The thought of having fresh ...I love the photo Jane.<BR/>The thought of having fresh eggs laid by my own hens is on my wish list.<BR/>The range cooker sounds great - no wonder you had a great Birthday:)Gigibirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13171021812450232039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17260180.post-76398425845212026482007-05-21T14:37:00.000+00:002007-05-21T14:37:00.000+00:00What a treat to have a new chick!

I went out to attend to a racket five minutes ago and it was caused by Jasmine sunbathing about 4 feet away from the chicken run - the two maran mothers were squawking away with their tales all fluffed up hiding the chick from view. Poor Jasmine couldn't work out what the fuss was.<BR/><BR/>Annie - you should go to Browns if you can - we had a great meal (lemon sole and crab; belly pork; rhubarb and elderflower crumble for me; scallops, steak and chococate fondant for Euan) - the flavours were all very well judged.<BR/>J<BR/>xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14576982065729973318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17260180.post-50774248942324450632007-05-21T10:56:00.000+00:002007-05-21T10:56:00.000+00:00Oh bless!
