Jemimas 1st egg!!
Jemima laid her 1st egg today! xD
I found her in the garage yesterday, in the old brooder, so knew it wouldn't be long ... then she laid one in the side passage today :)
They were all FRing in the garden today, Gerald was chasing Nugget, so separated them. The ducks are in the Go in the WIR tonight - still need to get the roof sorted. We went to B&Q earlier but got there too late and they were just shutting :P

xD
Lewis is rather happy!
Up early + in Brum for 10ish. Me + friend got stopped by some random woman who did market research about 'mens products' - had to look at a screen and they scanned my eyes to see where I looked first, for how long etc then taken to a fake shop and had to point out what I'd buy. Got £5 for doing it!
Then later on a different woman asked us to do some more in the Odeon about chocolate.
"I like you, what are you doing next Saturday" - she wants me to join one of her focus groups about the Museum + Art gallery and get £20! :P
Got home and mothers BHWT bag is here, and I got a letter from Aberyswyth Uni :/ ...
Its a cheque for £48 in expenses for going to the visiting day and about those 2 entrance exams I did a few weeks ago ...
I have gained a "Merit Award"
They're giving me £1,000 and an unconditional offer :O
Doesn't matter what I get in A-Levels ... I can go to Aber! :)))
Lewis is raaaaaather happy

New chicken is settling in really well!
Have decided on a name - Cilla the Silkie. Mother has a nickname for her - ChipChip (to go with Nugget)
I put an extra feeder in, just in case she didn't know food was in the grub, but they were both eating from it this morning !
They were both sitting together in the nesting box earlier :)
Best of buddies already!
Hope it carries on like this :)

New chicken
Lewis has a new chicken thanks to a chickeny friend, Tasha - a friend for Nugget :)
She's a black silkie bantam.
Her feathers are soooo cool!
To quote Mother, "high pitched voice Oooooh high pitched voice Where are your eyes!?"
Still thinking of a name - have put her in the eglu with Nugget tonight, will see how they are tomorrow :) - can always separate them if there are any problems.
