"Chocolate butties"

My thanks to both Kate and Mo for the offers, (emailed both ladies.)
but when it actually got close to deciding to part company with them, I just could not do it!

Hi, Unfortunately I have to let my two little girls go to a good home, as I am unable to care for them as I would like at the moment. One Black rock and one Warren, both laying daily, and both about 8 months old, free to good home, to include all food and bedding + feeder and water butt. I would be ...

Thanks for the info, was not here last week so missed the original topic, no lights it is then

I was wondering about how much light they need in the winter. I have a small coop in which they just sleep, during the day they are free ranging so I think I may have to provide some artificial daylight in the winter? My question to the more experienced chicken ranchers is: Do I need artificial ligh...

My little black rock Lacy passed away some time during the night, I found her lying on the floor of the coop with a prolapse, quite upsetting to see first thing in the morning, but not entirely unexpected I suppose, considering her history i.e. bleeding rectum, huge eggs (another massive one yesterd...

Egg weighed in at 93g, this came from my smallest Black Rock, saving it for Sunday`s full English,"er indoors" lets me have one occasionally, full English that is!

"Well I`ll go t foot o r stairs", Cor Blimey! would you adam and eve it.
Lacy has just delivered the most enormous egg, think large supermarket size and then double it How she passed that I have no Idea. I have checked to make sure she is ok and she is fine, WOW that must have hurt.

Just an update on lacy. She is back to normal and laid again this morning, no sign of bleeding thank god

Thanks everybody, for your feedback. So far so good, she has not laid yet, her bleeding came from inside as there is no sign of cuts, just hope its not serious damage to her insides, I keep checking on her every half hour or so, I will get some of that gentian spray, thanks for that tip. I wonder if...

Thanks for the quick reply s, I did as you suggested Juicylucy, brought her in and bathed her nether regions, no sign of prolapse, applied flour, seems to have stopped bleeding, but her rectum is still continually contracting as though she is trying to poo. I have reintroduced her back with the othe...

Need help fast. Noticed my other two chasing lacy around garden, my warrens beak was bloody so I checked my bleeding girls bum, sure enough she is quite bloody around that area (sorry about repeating myself) I have separated them, but lacy`s bottom area is continually contracting, she laid OK this m...

New to all this, I have PM`d you!

Hi, I am thinking of taking a weeks break this year (Have not had one for a couple of years :cry: ) in August, recharge the batteries and all that. I was wandering if there is any chicken sitters out there close to me in Stockport, there are only three of them, and I would be willing to bring them t...

Thanks for reply s, When I say I give them yoghurt, I mean they get the whole pot (small) between three of them, they love it. I am keeping a watchful eye on Cagney, twin to lacey, who appears a little better this morning. My other chook, is a Warren named Gertrude, how original is that, and out of ...
