    LIR - thanks. Feels slightly callous but I don't get emotional about the hens even though I've had her for years. She has had a good un & raised broods too - suchan excellent Mother. He orinal keeper couldn't believe that she'd laid an egg never mind raised her own chicks.
    Sun's out but it's midgey & I have to wash holiday let sheets & duvet covers in the bleeding burn as no water, I feel as if I've receeded centuaries back & womne's lib never happened.

    Be interestd to hear how you both fare with the scaly leg over time.

    We don't have scaly leg, but our hen looks kinda yellow and has no energy, which hints at liver/kidney problem, maybe?

    Sound like it but honestly, I have no idea. TBH.....if she's sickly I think I'd probably do the deed. :(

    Given how much rain you have had, still no water?

    Have you checked it is not blocked somewhere further up the hill?

    Yes, we've a regular routine for that. Only used Vermex until the last one, mind.

    Kaz, that's great! :beer: Are you hoping to have part of the place habitable by Christmas or is it a choille style endurance job?
