Benny-Bev's chooky adventures!Re: Benny-Bev's chooky adventures!Love love love that chicken run...very pretty.
Re: Benny-Bev's chooky adventures!Also interesting to read about your losses, as I read up on chicken keeping I started to think about the fact that actually they are relatively fragile. One of my son's friends who is 13 had to wring the neck of one of his chickens as he was the only one at home and the bird was in distress. I started to realise that if I loved my birds and am commited to them, part of that means clearing up the mess if a fox comes or perhaps even putting them out of their misery....and remembering that as much as I love them and they bring me so much joy, I have to hold them lightly...thanks for sharing your story and I hope that you have many happy healthy birds in the future..
Re: Benny-Bev's chooky adventures!Bev I use mud with stepping stones for me. The earth used to be dry enough to dustbathe in until the floods!

Re: Benny-Bev's chooky adventures!Whilst it's been so cold, I've been giving the girls a bedtime treat of warm pellets, corn and mealworms.
They do seem to enjoy it, here they are eating, or rather inhaling their supper..... You know that funny little noise they make when they're eating, like as if they've never had food ever before Bev x

I think Hilda's half on the tyre, half trying to reach the ground I'd not put it past her to stand on the others though! Little minx she is! Bev x

Re: Benny-Bev's chooky adventures!They certainly don't hold back Sandy, no, little munchkins aren't they!
We seem to be managing okay in the snow so far, I've been putting lots of extra fresh Aubiose in their eglooop to keep them nice and cosy. Little Betty is such a friendly little hen, she's always by my side or in the egloop 'helping' me poop pick and such Bev x

Re: Benny-Bev's chooky adventures!Despite the very cold temperatures and snow, we seem to be managing okay - or rather the girls are, I still mange to slide my way down the garden!
Our Hilda isn't looking herself today, but I think she's having me on because as soon as I rattled the mealworm tin, she came running and assisted Nita and Betty in gobbling everything up! Nevertheless, will keep very close inspection on her..... Luckily I can see the run from the back of the house - upstairs bathroom, our bedroom, Hubbly's study, kitchen, so I can do lots of observations. Check this out for a nice supply of eggs think I'd better get cracking and do some baking! Thank you Betty and Nita Bev x

Re: Benny-Bev's chooky adventures!Just had a lovely time sorting the girls out and tidying up.
As always, little Betty is right by my side 'helping'...... Naughty girls, pecking away at the bag of corn Hilda's convinced she can get at it Naughty Benny-Bev has now decanted the corn into sealed tubs! Meanwhile, Nita thinks there's a tasty treat on my boots! Bev x
