Chicken Update

OMG my chickens are hilarious, a couple of total nutters (well they belong to me so of course they are barmy)

Both are now laying an egg per day, it's a little miracle really. Lily laid her first egg right in front of me on the lawn, she puffed herself up so big I thought she was going to pop! This teeny egg popped out and she strolled casually away!! It was really small, but the day after they were regular size.

I am able to pick them both up and stroke them , Lily is a bit more "up for it" than Clover is - bless 'em!

One thing I should point out is they poo - a lot! Then they poo some more and then......well you get the point. Since I am chief chicken carer I get to shovel chicken poo most days and it's not the sort of thing you want to do first thing in the morning if you are feeling a little bit gippy.

They both LOVE to eat sweetcorn, in fact their love kind of borders on addiction - it's like crack cocaine to them. Last night I opened the back door and they LEGGED it super fast towards me , pushing and shoving each other. They clocked the plastic box with the sweetcorn in and Lily jumped up on the back of the garden chair next to me to get higher !

Anyway I am now off to see if they have laid a chuckie egg for me.

Thanks for all your lovely comments about the end of my treatment. I am feeling very tired at the moment but I am plugging on. We've booked a holiday in Florida in July and I cannot wait!!!
