Anyone else got wussy birds this morning?! Daft things are refusing to come out of the coop - not even for breakfast Admittedly, their run is actually one large snowdrift, but you'd think they'd come out and investigate, wouldn't you?! Naaah, they'd rather stay in the warm and just look at it. Actually, they're not so daft, are they...

You could make them some snow shoes?

People who had a 'lie in', would have missed it. Back to top Nursie Joined: 29 Jan 2006 Posts: 162 Posted: Sun Mar 12, 2006 2:50 pm    Post subject: We are covered in the stuff!!
