Chooka one of our hens has actually come down with some sort of chicken illness, she is weak and not herself :-( Master L and I have just given her a bath and some glucosite powder mix in a syringe to try and perk her back up.

And my husband likes to refer to me as having a hobby of "collecting hobbies" :-) So without further adieu I would like to introduce you to Time to squeeze, I will share with you some of the more exciting things we do around here in the house on the hill.<br />I live with my husband and my 2 young sons Master L (3) and Master E (8mths), our 4 chooks; Ruby, Annie, Bindi &amp; Chooka.<br /><br />Can't wait to get to know you a bit better, please leave comments.<br /><br />x<br />Em<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1191823098922995600-209320683770450804?l=time2squeeze.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Emnoreply@blogger.com1
