Alphie's diaryWell it feels like summer is on the way diary. Lovely and sunny here yesterday. Perfect for dustbathing under the shrubs and sunbathing on the lawn.
My Eva was off colour on Friday. Mum let us out and she stayed in the house. Her comb was pale and she wasn't hungry
Mum took her inside and said she would try and get her eating again. I really missed her Friday night. Usually I make sure I get between my 2 girls and mum only knows I am there 'cos she sees my tail feathers sticking out
Eva was feeling a bit more like herself yesterday, so mum moved her out onto the lawn next to us to have a chat and get some sun. She said 'Over to you Captain Fabulous - do your stuff'. Who's he
Anyway, I forgot all about that and made sure I made a big fuss of Eva and stood on my piece of log so she could see me better.
We shared a strawberry through the wire and I told her how much I had missed her and she needed to get better. Eva said mum was just worried she wasn't eating enough so I asked for special seeds and we got them as well
Eva soon copied me and Naomi and pecked them up.
She was so much better that mum put her back in with us and I got my proper nightime cuddle last night
Mum was pleased Eva came straight out this morning and started eating, so fingers crossed we are all OK now.
Sad news from the big gang
Foggy lost the last 2 partidge wyandottes - they all went within a couple of months of each other. They were sisters and pretty much joined at the wingtip, but they were nice old girls and I used to enjoy a quick flirt with them. Foggy reckons he's getting more now as he only has the old silver laced wyandotte who is nearly 9, then the younger models - Beyonce, Patsy and Edina. Mum says we have enough eggs, so maybe he can wait a while. He's not happy about that at all
