Quite so deltinglass! I went to see the Head of Science today to tell her the sad news regarding the seeming lack of knowledge of some of our kids - she just hooted with laughter and said that eggs and stuff used to be on the syllabus in the good old days but it isn't anymore. There's progress for you!

Well..looks like I spoke too soon. DEFRA, the Department for the Eradication of Rural Affairs has done it again. A total stop on all poultry movements - except if you are commercial of course. The Poultry section at the show may not take place...but my friend isn't certain yet. We have ordered a tent which costs £600 and all the cages which cost even more. A friend of ours lives near the infected smallholding which is near Corwen. There is a barrier up across the road just past her house which police are patrolling. Now when there was an outbreak of the virulent strain at that well-known turkey farm they put a 10 km exclusion zone round it and the rest of the country carried on as normal. Now we have an outbreak of another, less virulent strain and they shut the whole country down. More from your reporter on the spot, Benjiesmum soon! Apparently when the people rang DEFRA to report one of the chickens they had bought had died and that others were poorly the spokesman said: "It happens sometimes." !!!!!!!!! Watch this space. In the meantime we are continuing to take poultry entries but now expect a lot of people to pull out. We are over 35 miles from the outbreak!

Here is my Wesummer bantam cockerel. He's only small but very noisy! He's quite like my other big Welsummer cockerel but he died.

Very handsome chappie but I don't think you will appreciate his thingy-a-doodle-dooing in the early hours of the morning somehow - or MG won't anyway!

This little fella has a very high pitched squeaky thingy-a-doodle-doo!!!! So he's not quite as loud as a big cockerel!
