[New shoot]

Lovely footage of you Foghorn, when's the sequel?

Pssssstttttt New shoot here.  Don't tell Foggy, but I have heard on the grapevine that Alphie is madly jealous of Foggy's film debut and has enlisted the help of his dad to shoot his own YouTube vid   

Watch this space 

[nerdle]

Can't wait.  I write origial music if you need some..

[New shoot]

The music his dad has chosen for him is just classic   

How I'll cope with the little show off when he realises he has a fan club I have no idea 

[sunshineband]

I could see the small white Alphie in the background looking wildly jealous, yes 

That was great: I shall be sharing it with the eldest Midget Gem next time I see her 

Pleased Eva is back outside too, and looking healthy again.

Alphie's Video Diary!

Yes, oh yes ............  whatever the pumped up ginger meathead can do, I can do better    Who wants to watch him when you could watch me 

Dad says he was very pleased with my close-up at the end.  He says I am a natural at this filming lark    Even Naomi saya I look handsome in this.  Mind you, she's been glued to it trying to decide which is her best side

I can't really believe that I have spent xx number of minutes here today watching the exploits of two cockrals!  How sad is that really!  Saying that it was lovely though.

I think Alphie showed himself at his best here... quite regal even, in his demeanour

Wonderful!  Keep at it!!!

Foghorn's diary

Wow diary!  What a day 

We were running round the garden and had got really involved in digging a hole under a shrub, when Patsy and Eddie came running up saying the coop was gone    Now those 2 are scatty to say the least, so went to have a look expecting nothing had happened and what do you know  My crib was gone 

Mum saw me and said 'Don't worry Foggy.  Go and have a look at those boxes over there'.  So we did and it was a brand spanking new coop 

Didn't take long for mum and dad to get it assembled in the run and then we could have a proper look.

Its a state of the art plastic coop and we are well impressed.  I think it is a good reflection of the kinda modern gentleman about town that I am    I let the girls read the box, so asked them if it said it was a deluxe model for proper cockerels only, not to be supplied to pipsqueaks. They said they only read a bit that said it housed 5 normal sized chickens or 9 bantams.

Wait a minute ....... me, Big Girl, Beyonce, Patsy, Eddie ............ that's only 5    I need to talk to mum about this!  What's the point of having the poshest coop in town and only half using it   

[joyfull]

oooh perhaps mums going to find you some new girls Foggy, do you like your new posh palace? 

[snowdrops]

Posh pad there Foggy, are you having a moving house party?

Alphie's Diary

Well diary, the pumped up ginger show off has been unbearable recently, since he got his new coop.  And to make matters worse my girls are now seriously miffed that our coop is now getting shabby and according to them, its all my fault 

Mum was out in the garden with her net book, so went over to have a word.  She said she had saved up some money for the new coop, then dad had splashed out on it instead, so maybe.............  Anyway she went to make a coffee and I had a quick look round on the 'putermebob to see what I could see 

I found the eglu site and my girls got very excited about the pink coop    Mum came back and said they were a bit expensive, but maybe if we sold my old run and coop, she could perhaps get one.  She's very keen on plastic coops since the other one arrived.  'But not pink, Alphie' she said. 

That's when the argument started    The girls want pink with a passion, mum wants the green one and I like the purple one    Mum said we had to agree as it was too much money to spend on a coop the girls were going to moan about, so left it to me to talk them round 

I reckon if I can get Naomi on my side, Eva will just fall in line, so I dug a special dust bath for her and got my best sweet talk ready.  It seemed to work and she agreed purple wold look lovely against her beautiful black feathers. I even got a hug 

Now just got to convince mum 

[Springlands]

Better be careful New Shoot - by the looks of things Alphie could start to order lots of stuff of that old 'putermebob without any help from you. 

[snowdrops]

Hmm purple Alphie so last year daaaarling
