Ditto here. Wish I'd done some planting yesterday.

Same here Yorkie.. MrsxR wanted to watch one of the old Catherine Cookson series last night (not usually my cup of tea) but I found myself putting my phone down and thoroughly enjoying it!

You’re doing a great job !

It’s a very tricky job to get enough advertising to keep the forums afloat, while stopping too many that could sink it.

Hello, this has been asked a lot but I wanted to check what your thoughts are on a 25 week old hen (Lena) laying soft eggs overnight. she started laying normal eggs about 4 weeks ago. She then became egg bound and we had to help her by clearing out a broken egg from her oviduct. She seemed to recover well, had a few days off laying and then laid normally for a few days. She's now had a few days of no eggs in the day, looking uncomfortable in the evenings and laying one or 2 soft eggs overnight. She's rushing out in the mornings and seems to be alert, eating and drinking well. We've got 3 other similar aged girls and they are laying perfect eggs with hard shells. I'm adding calcium to their water and they have oyster shell grit available at all times. They free range for a couple of hours a day. I'm worried that Lena has some genetic problem that is going to make her ill eventually.
