Spring is nearly here

Well, we are nearly at the end of Winter...soon Spring will be here. And we have our first sign of Spring...our first lamb!

 

 

He is such a little cutie...a Suffolk X with black markings.

Hopefully in the next day or so we will have another to add to the flock.

 

 

 

In other 'farmyard' news...we have had a sick bantam! Our little white silkie suddenly developed a droopy neck and was generally very miserable. After consultation with 'Google' (every lifestyler's 'Bible'!)  I decided her diet was lacking some vitamins and minerals. It was either that or she was suffering a head injury and I couldn't treat that so went with the diet option!

 

 

The above is the concoction of vitamins and minerals that I purchased and have been adding to a cooked egg. She has been given this for a few days now and is already showing a remarked improvement. (I hope I haven't just jinxed her!!)

For the record, I crush up a half a Vitamin B tablet, half a Selenium tablet and add the Vitamin E oil to the mix. It is added to the scrambled egg you can see in the background. Apparently we need to keep feeding this to her for a fortnight-even if she improves sooner. Lets hope it is successful.
