Well, the eggs are due on Sunday/Monday but I have a horrible feeling they are not going to hatch. Today I lifted Big Sister off the nest to collect Lucilles eggs from the last few days. There was some brown mess dired on the eggs, at first I thought it was poop, but on closer […]
It lives!!! (part 3)
Well it’s playable and almost finished. Still got to do the marquee and put in a floor, but it’s painted and working. Ashy bought me a bar stool for Chrissy which was great. Gonna get another matching one this week for some gaming comfort.
Peaceful Bay
Got back the day before yesterday from a few days down in Peaceful Bay. We took Midas away with us for the first time and he loved it. We were a bit worried as to how well he was going to travel as it’s 5 hours in the car but he was fine. Three beach […]
Egg Update
Big Sister is still sitting tight on her eggs, hopefully we will be able to re name her “Big Momma” next week. I candled the eggs on the 23rd and again tonight. We’ve lost a few but there are still 8 in the nest that I’m hopeful on. Andilusians – 2 Still in the nest, […]
Clucky Big Sister Gets Her Chance
Today we collected some fertile eggs from lakelands poultry, these join 5 more that we collected from a lady in kalamunda yesterday who was supplied too many in a mail order. Tonight I’ll set them under Big Sister who has been clucky for the last couple of weeks. in total we have 5 Aracunas from […]
It lives!!! (part 2)
Did a bit more on the cabinet last night. We put it together and carried it inside. It’s much bigger than I thought and still needs a few more panels and then to be painted but we actually played a few games on it last night. There’s something about standing up at the cabinet that […]
It lives!!! Almost.
It’s getting there. On sunday, Mike and I cut out the sides for the arcade cabinet and took the tube out of the old telly. I mounted the tube on a frame and extended the switches to a terminal block so I can hook it up to the control panel. Still got a few bits […]
Midas sick
Midas got really sick earlier tonight. He threw up about 6 or 7 times and wanted to hide under the trees in the backyard. Not like him at all. Ash said he’d been into the chicken coop for an hour or so while she sewed up the wire mesh, so he’s probably just gorged himself […]
Chicken run
Chicken run is almost done. After a few months of procrastination, we’ve finally started the chicken run. It took a couple of weekends but it’s almost done. We just have to sew the wire mesh together and staple it on properly and we’ll have a secure pen for our girls. They’re quite happy to free […]
Vegi Patch Replanted
After pretty much lying dormant over winter, the vegi beds got a new lease of life yesterday. After taking Midas for a walk we went to Magic Garden Supplies at the bottom of the hill and bought some dirt. Can’t really say enough about how nice they are there. Free trailer hire, always go out […]
