Re: I've let down my 2 little ex batts and feel awful!Hi Andy You haven't let your girls down it was worth a try. Sometime integration can be easy other times it is a nightmare (says she with 10 years experience of rescued hens). Keep them apart when you are not there when you have time to be with them let them all free range together - that way you ca...

Hiya, I'm new and feeling guiltyHi kattcottrell Have you tried petroleum jelly on the young ones combs? They don't usually like the taste of it and stop. It is hard when they are getting their pecking order sorted out. Is it possible to separate during the day with a partition so they can see each other. They can sleep together (d...
Help - worried about hen - is she broody?Al B
How is she presenting? is her tail down (not sticking up), are her feathers ruffled, has she got any lumpy/swollen areas underneath? What colour is her comb - is it pale? Is her crop swollen? Have you checked her vent? I did not know you had a cockerel - the reason for being broody.
Its in the freezerRichard
Do you remember the French onion soup I made last year?.....today 1kg onions in Lidl 20p, I bought 3kgs and have made another 9lts of soup! Spring cabbage (British) was 23p a pack in there - bought 2, one for us and one for the girls.
How is your veg growing?Spring onions, beetroot, spinach beet and swede seeds were planted last Sat - today the swede are up??
I expect the rain that we are now having will wash them away! Carrot and parsnip seeds are in and most of the plants from the greenhouse. Parsley still hasn't germinated.
Help, very odd behaviour - she's herring!Hi denise
I had that with one of my old ones.....it could have been that she did not like the new one and was trying to suffocate her....I kept the 2 pairs separate as I was able to then. If you think it is something else then this happens - crowing hens etc. Anna
Jersey RoyalsHi saint-spoon You should be able to buy seed potatoes via a search engine. Grow them in a bucket or pot somewhere warm - that way you will get an early crop. The taste is from the potato as are all of them - I am not a connoisseur, I do know there are so many different tastes amongst all the variet...
gravyPlain flour into the fat and juices cook it gently then add the vegetable water from the steamer......perfect.
