Time often seems to pass at different speeds. We all know how it slows down when we are clock watching, waiting for a certain time to come round and how it speeds up when we have a limited timescale to get a job completed.<\/p>\n

The years seem to fly by when you look back. A few days ago my husband commented that it didn’t seem like a year ago, already, that David Bowie passed away. I have been waiting to pass the four to six weeks contagion time for mycoplasma. Of all the research that I have done, six weeks is the longest time given before being safe from it, so I am counting on the longest time span to be on the safe side.<\/p>\n

It is five weeks today that Pebbles went so there is just another week to go and this six weeks seems to have taken the longest time to pass. It seems a lot longer than five weeks ago that Pebbles went.<\/p>\n

I think the flock is safe now but I just want to pass the magic six weeks to feel complete peace of mind.<\/p>\n

I would really love to add two more seramas but will not do so until this six week period has passed. I feel that if anything happened to one of the little girls the other would be left on her own and in the same way that chicken keepers like three or more in case of this, I would like more seramas so that one will never be left on her own. I also feel that four little girls and four bigger girls will be a really nice balance for the flock.<\/p>\n

Although the flock mix happily together they are definitely two groups. Although they sometimes all perch up together, the two little girls are always at one end of the group. I have never seen them sitting in a mixed up order. Very often they are perched separately like in these photos taken yesterday.<\/p>\n

I think it would really be good for the flock to have some more of these little girls and I can’t wait to get more, but wait I must, so the next week will probably pass very slowly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
