jonesy 111 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I managed to get the ferret out and put it in with the nephews,but that will be a temporary measure if anyone wants a sandy hob with black eyes you can have it,ive also managed to get in and give the hens some mash but again because of the state of the place they will have to go aswell they arent no fancy breed but i get an egg each of the two hens everyday and there is a cockerel and a young hen from this years clutch if any one wants them,all free as its going to be quite awhile until i can get it looking normal again.
