gorgeous George

Hello again, i am first going to talk about one of my chickens, Gorgeous George. As you have seen in the picture of him, he's... well to be honest pretty full of himself! He always acts as if he's perfectly in control and he knows what he's doing, even when Mini is having hysterics! He just s..l..o..w..l..y wonders over acting as if nothings going badly when actually Mini's making a racket in the hen house!! I have a funny feeling that he thinks i am a chicken, because when i open the door of there hen house he

thinks i have just come out of the hen house and gets behind me and hurries me along! George also likes a lot of hens and he has been mating with: both jubilee's all of his girls and Henna & Lola! Wow thats a lot of hens, he's one

busy chicken.But hopefully we may get some chicks in the summer so fingers crossed!!

round-up

Hello again, i have sad and happy news to tell you, the bad news is Kensuke's girls have unfortunately died ) : in the process of hatching eggs, they had gone off to lay eggs and hatch them but a fox got them both ) ; but the good news is we have got new chickens!! We have a new

cockerel called George who is a Buff Sussex and his nickname is Gorgeous George! And he came with 3 other hens, Mini the Minx, and the twins. and we also have a adorable Cochin Pebble, she's Kens best friend

fertile egg and other things

GUESS WHAT!! We got an egg to pip! ( crack ) but unfortunately it died ) :

so we cracked it open and it was really cool because you could see its feet and head and wings! We have only had one egg pip but we don't think any others will pip unfortunately. I would of put a picture of it on the post but we forgot and put the egg and embryo in the bin sorry. But since it was our first go at hatching eggs we were pleased we got one to pip. Here is a picture of a box that I made into a chicken town! There is a 5 star chicken hotel a beauty salon for chickens, a chicks box to store them in while you go away and a chicken dance floor! Bye for now

The pigs

Hello, again it's smudge and hodgepodge!! We have been having the best time ever this summer!! We have been doing loads, firstly Mum now gets out the hose and waters are pen and we get to drink out of the hose and play with it and Daddy extended are pig run!! Smudge: I have mostly been escaping this week and last week! Me and hodgepodge escaped on Sunday it was so much 

fun!! We were out for quite a while we ate grass and trotted about, it was hilarious because some people stopped there big mechanical fast pigs! ( Cars )

We had LOADS of fun!! Anyway i have to go because Hodgepodge is saying " ooh it's my go! ) Bye bye Smudge.

Hodgepodge: Hello, when daddy extended the pig run we were put next to the chickens, they don't half make a racket when you shove your nose through the fence when they are standing next to it!! It's quite funny to watch! It's really weird because my Mum goes on this big thing that's black with blue round the edge and when they go on it they are like pogo sticks, and they bounce backwards and forward it's really amazing to watch. Does any of your parents do that?? anway got to go because the humans are saying they can smell something pig like!

RUN smudge RUN!!

Ben

Hello there, Sorry i haven't written in for ages i have been rather busy. 

Firstly i have just been moved into a new hutch were what they move about 

so that i can get more grass, and it's GREAT!! In the morning now i can hop out of my cosy bed and eat some fresh grass, and then my Mum will come out and give me carrot or lettuce and some guinea pig food. The really annoying thing when i am outside is Charlie always lays outside the pen watching me and wagging his tail! He is such a silly creature!! Anyway i feel ssssssoooo important in this 5 star house. And my mother quite often picks me up and sits down and feeds me dandelions! Oh and for all you guinea pigs i would tell your owner that dandelions are REALLY scrumptious, and please do give me some. The best way is to go to a patch and eat them very happily and then when they are finished started weeping for more. Oh and the picture above is me saying hello to Charlie, It was rather annoying because when i said hello he cocked his head and then he Gave me a quick nudge, it was very impolite anyway mother is telling me to come off now, so bye bye 

from The best guinea pig in the world 

Chicks!!

Hello there I have some exiting news for you,

on Saturday me my sister and my mum went to a

 local poultry show and we brought some fertilized eggs! We thought it would be a good idea because we thought that maybe Lola ( the

 broody hen ) would be satisfied if she hatched some eggs. I brought 6 black orpingtons and mum and my sister brought 

6 welsummers and 6 Mar

ans. Here is a

 picture of the types of chickens  The top one is a black orpington and the one on the right is a maran and the one below is a wellsummer. Please comment and say which one is your favourite. Of course it we dont know even if any of them will hatch, I am just hoping it turns out OK Hope you enjoy this post,
