struggling to get boys.. Linny George and Stinky. Lol. To sit /stand still long enough for me to take a photo..
Mason is coming to visit on Saturday so I will try again then .

I'v just got myself some very handsom guinea pigs. 3 boys. 1 each for my youngest grand children. [ but they will be staying at nannas house.] I know they won't replace fatty [ one of my hens who passed over rainbow bridge last week] but they have helped put a smile back on my face. I will of cause ...

Just a bit of advise please.. I'v been googling about my hen Dora and I think I'v found out what might be bothering her. Only problem is the cure involves bathing her in flowers of solphure which I can only get in powder form. So do I add to warm water like salts ???? Any advise please Thank you in ...

Due to illness and some personal issues I'v only just started to sort out the garden.
For my safety I am growing everything in pots this year. But am I to late starting. I have tomatoes to start.

After 2 years of the dreaded red mite i managed to get a plastic dog kennel to convert for my girls.
I thought it would be perfect but my girls still perch outside. WHY?
They will use it to lay.

2 or 3 weeks at least. Not sure how long she will be broody though. I have waited til noon to collect eggs then I shut up the coop so she cant get back in till bed time. But she is huddled up underneath the ramp still insisting on nesting. lol Must be cold though as its slabs. Im going to keep and e...

Im ok having a broody hen as I know she will come out of it soon. But my only concern is she is looking pale and very thin compared to the layers. Can I give her any extra treats to perk her up. She does eat and drink but I think she is needing a bit extra So meal worms or protein stuff or something...

Iv used this sight for lots of help with my chickens but now I need different help. I am trying my hand at decorating cakes but I.m having a nightmear with the food colouring. Am I doing something wrong. Red needed but I can only get pink using the whole bottle of food dye Also same with Black can't...

mmm its a bit hard to explain. It sounds like a squeak.
I picked her up and I did notice a bit of a swelling on her neck.

I have a hen who is making a funny noise. she is eating and drinking ok but her comb is a bit pink so something is not right..
Any advice please

I have my 4 new ex battery hens but an odd question strung to mind the other day. On closer inspection, 2 hens have large combs and 2 have very small combs. I thought they are all the same age? So I've no idea who is laying ??? Also, my very large hen [ no name as yet ] is very much a recluse. She i...

I am going to sell mine for 10p an egg

I loved your video Richard.
Made me smile

My new hens are settling in now and later they will all get to mix in the garden. Although they might need willies bless umm.

I'v been out looking for pallets again to use to reinforce my back garden as my dog keeps finding his way out.. naughty toby

I think because I distracted them the pecking order has not been set yet. Even now I just popped out and there is one from either side trying to out do each other.. puffing up trying to peck so I think it may take a day or so. Also the new girls are not good on a perch at the moment, very wobbly. I ...

I let the new hens into the garden yesterday for the first time and they were loving hopping about stretching their wings etc.. So I thought this morning I would let everybody meet in the garden. WOW It was manic for about 5 mins But things soon settled down when the meal worms came out ( my older g...
