Re: Loving home needed for 2 x Light Sussex Hens

Steve, its the same down here in SW, everything waterlogged. Distance isnt the problem, but will wait a little longer in case someone nearer can assist.

They might like a boy, Lulu been a bit broody lately, lol

Loving home needed for 2 x Light Sussex Hens

I have to move, marriage break up, and my new home has a tiny garden which would be unfair on dear Phoebe and Lulu, they are used to free ranging in a 100ft by 30ft garden, very protected. They only started laying eggs a few weeks ago, and my new garden is only a small fraction of what they have now...

Re: Have home for 2 or 3 chooks...

Thought I would give an update on this one, the 2 amberlinks (Bert and Amber)are fully integrated and they all go round as a flock together, they are really sweet birds, and have calmed down my unruly ex-batts! Sweet eh? They just settled in and a neighbour that was down to just two exbatts asked me...

Re: Dog barking..

Thanks Wendy, will let next door know that tomorrow, it sounds like it could be a smart solution to me, very logical. ( a bit like when dogs pull on the lead just turn around and walk the other way? I did that with Joe, their older dog, he is a terror on the lead with them, but not me! I sought advi...

Re: Dog barking..

Thanks for the replies. The little dog is only outside with the older dog, the neighbours are home alot and spend alot of time with them, they are only out in the garden when the neighbours are home, by choice I hasten to add. My neighbours do try to cajole, get them in etc whenever his barking beco...

Dog barking..

I love animals, so this is a bit difficult for me to post. But, I have to! My next door neighbour has just rescued another dog, they have had their other one years and he barks normally, within normal doggie bounds, and he is great. The new one, small and yappy, barks at everything. It has been goin...

Re: What's this all about ?

I understand what you mean, it felt very strange when I ate my girls first eggs. But like everyone else has said, they laid them for you, we also think of them as prezzies, precious ones at that. Egg and chips is most definitely my favourite meal, yorkshire puddings fluff up great and are so rich in...

Re: Have home for 2 or 3 chooks...

Bless your heart! And thankyou, cos I don't think I could let them leave now! They are so sweet and dignified! Our ex-batts are more like inmates. lol After the BIG SHOUT OUT... at 7.30am we had the Big Stand Off... and this afternoon they mingled, and all went to bed together. They will be fine. Th...

Lovely to meet you and Lew. Thankyou so much! They are beautiful girlies and we will take really good care of them for you. Info for forum readers: Bert and Amber (our new girls) had a couple of spats with our reprobate ex-batts and held their own just fine, a few mealie worms calmed them down and a...

Re: Where would I get a poland hen near bristol

Hi Katt, been busy for a while so only just started living again! We know Annie very well, she is round the corner from us, but we wanted to home more chooks that were needing homes, for whatever reason, rather than just go out and buy some, I know Annie will understand. She has been really helpful ...

Our girls also have auto pop hole so they can come out when light, and shout at me outside my window if I do something terrible like try to have a lie in once a...
