Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

@Former-Member I have a broody chook at the moment!! I chuck her off the nest every day to eat and drink and scratch around. Only problem is that the other chooks don't seem to want to lay -we've gone from about 6 a day to 3 a day egg production, which is really okay as we don't eat them all anyway

@YTT we have a second hen sitting on a clutch of eggs, shouldn't be too long if they are going to hatch. We already have 9 little ones so will see what happens (don't want to count the chickens before they hatch).

Noticed the chook talk had finished and the subject had moved on to academic matters.

A very late happy birthday @Anna88

@Former-Member I once bought fertile eggs for a broody chook. She did amazingly even with the brown snake in the coop and the fire brigade trying to catch it eeekkkk.

My last lot were sexed day olds and they lived in our house until ready to go outside - okay until my husband was ready to let them outside, he is an animal lover. I was well ready for them to poop outside rather than in our house!!!

Hoping we don't see any Joe Blake's around @YTT Mother hen and chicks all sleep out in the run and the broody hen is sitting is in the corner of a large cold compost heap also out in the run with self sown potatoes in it which I am hoping will provide adequate protection for any young ones. Hoping they will venture into the barn before the rains come.

Time for some beauty sleep (need all I can get)

Good morning everyone, with the heat in the East Coast today there will be a lot of cold coffee drunk today. I'm not into coffee and I have my 1L water bottle next to me this morning.

I just need motivation to get up and start house work and get into the spare room and clean it out - currently has my sons school work, his idea of cleaning up doesn't match mine!
