Monday 21.11.11

Monday morning and we have the rain which was needed to put out the bonfire yesterday. Well better late than not at all. At least the neighbour cannot complain now.  Work which should have got done yesterday is now done, so the Turkeys have a nice clean bed to look at, they actually perch at night, but they smell a lot nicer now.  I am going to bed with my favourite poultry book, I read a very interesting chapter last night part of which was about windfall apples, apparently the acid in the apples which all hens love to eat will keep them thin so not recommended to build the hens up for a hard winter.
