| Eirlys with my buff cockerel |
My friend Eirlys did me a lot of good today.
She asked me about Constance , but did so in a matter-of-fact way which didnt upset me
She diverted me from my poor mood
And offered me her concrete mixer to mix my poultry wormer and layers pellets in.(believe it or not she has worked out a formula that coats every pellet with the correct amount of medication!)
As Delia would say....
As Delia would say....
Start One clean concrete mixer
Add 25 kilos of food
Drizzle in 2 litres of oil from the hot fat fryer
add a splash of 20 quids worth of wormer
mix well
laugh a little while you are doing it
and serve...........
enjoy!
enjoy!
That is a wonderful solution for the worming problem. What a sweet person to share it and make your day a little brighter.
ReplyDeleteBeware of splashbacks (she speaks from experience....yummy yummy yummy!)

I can see where that would work! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird!
ReplyDeleteI really like that photo.
ReplyDeleteYuck.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great solution. And we have a cement mixer. I will have to remember that, should the need arrive. (The laughter is the important part, obviously...)

I'm stuck on poultry needing to be wormed. Really??? Who knew! [glad your spirits are lightened somewhat]
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea, but will have to disregard use of our concrete mixer because it is probably never going to be clean enough, said mixer being of ancient age and well used!
ReplyDeleteYou've just prodded me. I'm giving my hens layer pellets; do I have to give them worm treatment as well? I don't remember doing this before!
ReplyDeleteIs that a traffic camera over Eirlys' left shoulder?
ReplyDeleteLove her wormer/pellet solution. Was thinking of getting a couple of Isa Browns, but now looks like we will be babysitting daughters spaniel X and TerrierX so no chickens till they go!
ps - I'll do a post with the photo I tried to send you embedded in it!

ReplyDeleteyou need to worm them twice a year
something like flubevet over 7 days!
Oh for a small concrete mixer!
ReplyDeleteHoward has commandeered a salad bowl and one of my epns mixing spoons from the kitchen.
Could I borrow it to mix some gin and tonics?
ReplyDeleteWould have been a useful kitchen tool when making all those cakes, John.
ReplyDeleteAdd a large workman's mug of tea and you will be complete. lol

I have the builder's bum ass crack too Briony
ReplyDeleteAnother horrific mental picture...
ReplyDeleteThis will amuse the farmer - mixing food in a concrete mixer.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a Buff Orpington she is holding. I have a B O cockerel and he is a darling - so gentle. Yesterday he shed a long, curled tail feather which lies on my desk as I type this. All his progeny are exactly the same colour as him.
We had a pied wagtail who built a nest in our concrete mixer, which put it out of action for some time!
Love
some would find it attractive chris... not many admittedly... but some
ReplyDeleteHmm... mass catering the Civil Defence way. Looking forward to the photos.
ReplyDeleteNot if it's anything like mine, John.

Whatever happened to the boy who used to drink at ABO? No thought of worming in the days when we just used to enjoy the simple pleasures - like howling with laughter as you threw yourself down the stairs and didn't even noticed you'd lost your specs!
ReplyDeleteThe past is a foreign country...they do things differently there.

ReplyDeleteI need to sort out a night out with you...
ALL BAR ONE? in early Sep? am in need of a few chuckles this week...believe me....
And I promise no wormer conversation
thanks for your email ...it came at the right time

What a great original idea. Good thinking friend you have there, John. :)
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a concrete mixer to take your mind of your troubles.
ReplyDeleteWell doesn't that just sound tasty, not LOL... but to a chicken I am sure its great :O).
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea. You know what else might work is one of those composting bins that rotates.
ReplyDeleteSounds like one smart lady. And kind enough to share her idea.
