pleased to hear your doctors visit was useful. Take care and don’t rush back too soon.

Hoping the inhaler helps too. 
I didn't even think about your chickens when I read about the flu. I always just assumed it was connected to the huge chicken farms used for meat.

Forgot to say hope the chickens will be ok. As if this year hasn’t been bad enough 😩

No it applies to anyone keeping poultry because if mine catch it from a wild bird I could accidentally spread it on my shoes elsewhere,so I am supposed to disinfect my shoes now if I go out to the chickens, I don't do this because the shoes I wear don't leave my house or garden. If my hens fall ill with symptoms I have to notify the vet and Defra and they have to be destroyed to stop it spreading into the wild bird population who then could carry it to a poultry farm causing a massive problem 🙁they now have to be kept in and under cover so there is no chance of them mixing with wild birds who spread the disease round the country if they catch it, it's a flaming nightmare and not nice for chickens,last time they were locked in for weeks 😟

Thanks SA, there was a case in Dawlish so a little bit away from me but if it's in the wild bird population it could go anywhere, my two are getting on so I wouldn't like them to catch it,I gave them extra worms and an apple today to make up for being locked in all day,I need to make sure there aren't any gaps for birds to get in their run,I don't think there are but I had better check sometime this week, back in the summer there was a cheeky little robin going in and helping himself to their food but that was because the door was open 😀

It makes sense why now, I just didn't think it through earlier. Hoping they're all ok. X

Lockdown for chickens, poor things.
The GP appointment sounds very helpful.

I know, they will be up there in the coop planning some sort of revolt after a couple of days 😀 GP appointment was really helpful 😊

Just had a big trip down memory lane from when I was a spendthrift. Something plopped through the letter box and it was a catalogue from a company called Balsam Hill, they sell luxury Christmas trees and decorations, a couple of years before I came to my senses I was looking for a new Christmas tree,I was fed up with buying cheap ones that didn't last and kept having to be replaced anyway I googled and up came Balsam Hill, luckily for me they had a sale on so the pre lit 7ft Christmas tree I fell in love with was only a couple of hundred £s instead of £400 odd ,bargain thought my fevered brain as I hurriedly tapped in my credit card numbers 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀 The tree arrived and I was so excited to put it together but when I turned the lights on the ones in the middle section wouldn't work so I had to organise sending a 7 ft Christmas tree back to where it had come from, they offered a replacement but I had come to my senses by then and asked for a refund instead, we used the old tree again that year and it looked good. I've sat here with my coffee and had a look through their brochure and it's mind bogglingly expensive, the tree I would pick now is £599🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀they don't have a bauble pack that I like to go with it but the one on the  back page is £169 reduced from £219 for 35 pieces 
I can't believe my old self even contemplated buying this,I mean I love Christmas and the decorations but that's insane, I did buy a new tree from Wilkos which was reduced from £100 to £50 still a lot of money when you consider I spend less than that on food a week and it's only used once a year for a few weeks......still it's a nice tree and I do love it 😊
