Eliza is laying
Eliza the Barred Wyandotte I hatched earlier in the year, has started laying :D
They were all FRing in the snow yesterday and she toddles off into the WIR early. Went and had a look + I couldn't see her but could hear her *eh*
Looked and she was in an old feed bin which was laying on its side on top of the wendy house! Thought she was stuck so scooped her out and there was a cold egg in there, so it wasn't laid just.
She flew back onto the roof, shuffled backwards and slid into the bin...
Left her to it + went back an hour later and there was a warm egg in there! :)
Well done Eliza :P

Out with the Old, In with the New... Dinner Chickens
So, as we've got the 3 new hybrids, the cockerels have to go :(
I was going to do it yesterday but left it too late so just got the stuff ready; bin for the feathers, small broomstick pole and a chair!
Let the 3 cockerels out for a free range in the snow earlier but restricted their food so that they're easier to gut etc.
Got Little Miss Meaty (the name stuck for him) in the eglu so I could pick him up and took him to the side passage.
I was alright in doing it 'cos have know since they were cute little chicks under Hilary that I'd have to do it:
Was alright doing 'the deed' but you always get paranoid from the nervous responses that you haven't done it properly even though I knew he was dead, and I had to double and triple check :/
Plucking was alright. It took about an hour to do, which is way longer than the huge turkeys at the farm! but tbf I haven't done it for a while, and the turkeys are hung so that makes it a lot easier. Ripped the skin a couple of times by the breast but thats not a problem.
Just got Mr Meaty to do next!
Was going to do him tonight but he's still not very muscly + mature, and it would leave Mr Dinosaur on his own in the eglu. Mr Meaty doesn't really crow, although he probably will now Little Miss has gone, but will see. I can always do it in the next couple of days.

Christmas Chickens...
Had no idea what I wanted for Christmas, so after planting the idea of getting chickens after seeing the Buff Orps at The Fed, I decided to get some hybrids so we'll hopefully get more than 1 egg overy other day, next year! :P
Obviously we went to see Jude at Cotswold Chickens. Spoke to her and they were shut 'cos of the snow, then today was our only chance to get there before Christmas!
Took longer time to get there 'cos of the snow but the roads weren't too bad.
Finally got there and had a look and there was 1 (or 2) Black Rocks, so had to have her! Jude said to just go into the stables and get them so I could choose who I wanted.
We had a look at the horses, all the stables were full - couldn't believe how big the filly has got that was born last year! There was a cute little orphan foal with a sad story attached about his mom :(
Meet...
Fearne, the Bluebelle. Should lay pale brown eggs.
Holly the Speckled Star who should lay speckled brown eggs:
and Edith the Black Rock! Like Matilda + Theodore, she should lay brown eggs :)
Fearne + Edith sitting on top of the Wendy House...

Went and met the Big Sis, got lunch then just went round the shops ... still haven't any of mine!
Got home, went to she shops to get some more food and then people came round at 7ish.
Was fancy dress but Mother only told me on Thurs so I was Rudolph with an afro :P
No idea what time they left. 3ish?
Got like 200 facebook wall posts! lol

Chicken Egg Farm Visit + Midsummer Nights Dream
Went to lectures then to "Free Range Egg Production Unit" this afternoon ... a chicken farm
We had to get our bio-security overalls + boot covers on, had a looks around, went in the sheds, stroked the chickens!
Had a look at the chain feeders, auto drinkers, nest boxes (astroturfed on a convayor belt!).
The eggs are laid in the astro turf nest boxes in the middle of the shed, which rolls along like a conveyor belt + the eggs roll out:
They have the grading, stamping and packaging machines there and distribute themselves all over Wales and around Aber.
Out of the shed and outside to the range:
They have 10 acres for 3000 chickens - are allowed double that but there was a lot of space for them outside..
Gots to ask questions, they use Flubenvet but she couldn't remember what it was called "Yes! thats it!" :P
They have a specialist poultry vet that flies around the UK in a helicopter he's so much in demand!!!
Got off the mini-bus and went straight down the hill to the theatre!
Did a tech run on the lights of Midsummer Nights Dream, then opened to the audience and did a run.
Went quite well, couple of dodgy things 'cos its a manual desk (with 48 sliders) and you can't programme cue's in like you normally would, and then just press Go.

Everything is attached so that they can push a button and all the feeders, drinkers and nest boxes all raise up to the roof, the slatted boxes you can see down the middle are collapsed, and they can drive a mini quad/tractor in to push out all the dirty bedding!

Day after
I had to get up at 11 for my 12 o'clock lecture.
Texted Cody who lives in the flat next-door and is on my course at quarter to, to see if we were going ... "Yes"
Rolled out of bed, got ready and got to the lecture on time.
I kept jumping whenever someone sneezed or did something load!
Think I was still drunk, well, I was - I really had the urge to gambole down the ramp thing, but they wouldn't let me.
Can't really remember the lecture ngl, was the last one for that module though! :))
Got back and went to town with Becky + Ange. Sorted my flat Secret Santa present ... Pound shop FTW.
We were meant to spend a £5er but sure the budget allowed for £7.
Went to Old College at 5 for another Tech Theatre meeting for Midsummer Nights Dream.
Sorted out the Prompt Script ... they were all stressing but its like THE least tecchy show ever. The scenery wasn't finished and we open tomorrow!
Finished the scenery and made props and then left at 9ish.

Why Not's...
Been to town tonight :)
Got in from my tech theatre meeting at like 8, bought a £1.49 bottle of Cassini and we started drinking at about 10 ... I was kinda drunk already.
We left for Re-Load, got in the queue and decided it looked dead so went to town instead.
Ace'd it (taxi) down the hill and went to Why Not's/Yoko's.
Was £ Party until half 12 so we did loads of sambuca shots and bottles .... even more drunk.
No idea what time we left, probably about 3ish?
Went to 24hr Spar with Ruth + Steph ... can't remember if there was someone else with us. We were wetting outselves all the way home with Jeff the taxi man.
I fell out of the taxi when we got to Rosser :/
Sat in the kitchen for another few hours talking, maybe drinking, can't really remember.
I love Wednesdays at Uni ... wish we had a camera though! :P

Had a good day at the first Four Counties Poultry Club show! :)
I spoke to one of the ladies organising it a while back and said I could help out if they needed anyone, but then decided to enter after the National, just for fun if anything.

I got:
First Prize for 3 Bantam Eggs...
... Cilla the Silkie got First Prize and Best Silkie Award ...
... and Alice the Barred Wyandotte got Second Prize (to Tashas girl)!
Tbh I wasn't expecting to get anything so was really happy with that!! :)
I bathed them on Friday and they slept in the bathroom over the weekend to dry off. Grumps wasn't very happy though! :P
Jack - Tasha's National Champion!! First Prize Barred Wyandotte Male
Barnevelder :)

I still want one for the flat next year :P
Tasha bumped her car on the way, on the same road only about half a mile away!
Her car was bad, she tried to drive it up to the hall and realised it wasn't driveable so a tow-truck came and took it away. We dropped her home after + shes got to get a hire car + drive back tomorrow!
