RIP Muzz...

Ya gunna eat him Steve??

would love to, reckon he was atleast 2 KGS, but sadly i think he bit the bullet in his PVC log and only surfaced today, judging by the cloudy eyes and the pong.

as a side note i had dukka die a few days ago, found a cool poultry site which i will link here.

apparently pultry deaths from botulism can be quite common and it co-insides exactly with me throwing in some dead trout that charlie had stashed in the garden for a few days.

i have always given freshly dead fish to the chooks, but first time for a few day olds................

apparently 120 seconds of boiling will destroy the Bo.Tox. (not the bacterium though)

Bad luck on the chook Steve... Botulism I must remember... odd.
