Keep up the good work & hope Violet feels better soon. My little chickens comb was a worrying bluey colour last week & now she is so much better with a red comb.

I posted last week about a thin chicken I took on not being able to walk without falling over. I have kept her in a big dog crate indoors for a while & she has been eating & drinking really well. She must have been knocking on deaths door I think as she is fine now and no longer falling over...

Thats really sad but you gave your chook a great chance of freedom though.

The chicken is drinking but eating hardly anything. Today she is curled up & sleeping. I have seen her drinking ok.Although she isnt standing at all. I have put down some yoghurt in one bowl & layers mash & some cat food. Mums other 2 chickens are quite big & dominant so I wonder if ...

We lost one of our chickens & My Mum said she had one they were going to cull as not laying eggs so I said I would give it a home. Her OH brought it round last night & when I put into house it was really floppy & just laid on its side. I got her out for Free Range time today & she is...

So Sorry to hear about Boss. You are a brilliant chicken keeper & you mustn't blame yourself.
Take Care

Thanks Willow. Just seems a bit mean to rehome them just because they're Drakes. Although I know my Mum cant wait to have them so at least I will still see them.

Sorry you lost your girl.

Thanks Willow. I thought it was too good to be true them all being girls. There is a farm not far from me that breeds ducks & should have gone there really but he is a bit more expensive but at least he knows how to s.ex them properly. I feel really bad giving them away as it,s not their fault b...

They are so adorable .Will they breed do you think. They look like they are having a party.

Extremely cute little ducks. I am not looking at them and no I don't want any. Gorgeous, cute, adorable.

I dont know what to do at the moment as only wanted ducks for their eggs & dont think I will get many from these guys. The man that delivered them said they were girls. Not sure if I will keep them now. My Mum may give them a home. Over the past month have had 8 ducklings/ducks that have turned ...

Why don't they fence it off so the ducks can't get on there or would that be too sensible an idea.
Poor duckies.
I really like ducks but I know from experience that they make one big swampy mess.

I just felt it misleading as poeple are now thinking the chickens must be kept nicely if JO says so & RSPCA approved.
Shame they dont know the truth about how they are really kept in horrible conditions.

There is an advert on TV at the moment for Chickens RSPCA Freedom foods approved. It is just niggling & annoying me the thought of poeple flocking to buy these chickens thinking they have a great life. Am I right in thinking that these chickens are the ones in a video put recently on the interne...
