Morning Stone and Louis and anyone else awake on LIS
Rowan, that movie is something else. Hope you can get it.
lol Lis. I hope Bee has not dunked us either lol.
Louis It is good to see you here this morning. You would probably understand what I spend my morning doing considering you spend time with pheasants. I have guinea hens, and a chicken sat on some eggs and hatched out guinea chicks. They like heat and cannot survive in the cold. The temp have fallen a lot here so I had to make a little house in the shed and put them in there under a heat lamp. So far so good!!

Mornin' kids (and chicks and pheasants and guinea babies...)
Well, fall is in the air...nippy in the a.m. and p.m., but warm in between. In other words, it's "layers" season. I have to say I feel like a wrapped sausage in layers and would much prefer fewer to more clothes. Oh well. Lettin' it go...
I'm thinking about "acceptance" this morning and it is so very, very hard for me.

ooooooh I just noticed I can remove my thanks if I want. Thats new or am I blind?
Just back from a meeting. While I feel okay, I'm not feeling particularly grateful tonight, and this particular meeting can be toxic - so - I had to say the serenity prayer a few times while folks were sharing. Just one of those days. Glad I'm sober, though.
hope your feeling better now

Hi Row,
some chickens are very broody and they will sit on any eggs. This year my hubby got some duck eggs from someone who had a very special breed. I put them under a silky chicken (they are great mothers) and I have 2 lovely pure bred ducks. Very pretty. They still waddle behind that chicken lol.....love her!!
The guinea hens are a bit mad. Always running here and there.The guinea mom started to lay some in the chicken house and just left them to run off with guinea dad!!! lol They are froclicking in the long grass as we speak!! They lay their eggs outside a lot in the long grass and I cannot let them stay there cause...........foxy!!!
If the baby guineas get wet in the first 6 weeks its a bit tragic. They often start getting sick. The chicken is still sitting on more eggs but nothing else hatched out yet.
I will leave the regular chicks with her if she hatches any.
To be honest Rowan the chicken that is sitting on the eggs, is a bit of an eejit!!!! she was only born last year herself, and she thinks this is great..... untill they hatch out, then she seems to be confused as to what she does next!!
she did not keep they chicks under her or feed them and they wandered off for food...I found 2 dead. So she cannot be trusted!!
Ha ha bet your sorry you asked.
I hope the film has a good effect on you, remember "but for the grace of God!!" because soome people may get a little down watching all that hardship in the drinking> I was sooooooo grateful for AA. which it also covers.

Thanks for another episode of 'As the Eejit Turns' lol Nelco boy that made me chuckle when you called that chicken an eejit. It sounds like you have a regular soap opera going on there; ducks with chickens, chickens with guinea hens, frolicking in the grass, evil fox, lol. I am NOT sorry I asked - you painted a brilliant picture.
I had no idea that movie existed. I looked it up and saw the AA reference which has piqued my curiosity even further. Turns out our library carries it so I'll wander over a little later and pick it up. It's a lovely day out but quite warm. I'm like you, Nelcs, I enjoy dressing up a bit in the autumn weather. Big sweaters and scarves, knitted hats and the like. Crisp morning air. Autumn leaves on the ground and on the trees.
Enjoy your time with friends, and the meeting.
Hugs out to everyone else. I'll be around later I'm sure. Just having a cuppa (I'm not Irish but I am an eejit lol).
