Re: Getting rid of dog hairs!!!!!Rubber gloves - the ones your use for washing up. I have Bengal cats with very fine fur and I just put my gloves on and brush in one direction - you end up with a clump and a hair free duvet cover or clothing.
Re homing my boysI posted on the Re homing section a few weeks ago as I wanted to find good homes for Eric and Ernie, my 2 beautiful Buff Orpington cockerels ( my Dad bought them as a surprise for me in August thinking they were hens). Kitla kindly let me know of cockerel Trader on Facebook . I thought I had found a...
Re: Two Beautiful Buff Orpington Boys Needing a New HomeThanks Kitla,
I joined the group you suggested and I think I've found them a good home.
Two Beautiful Buff Orpington Boys Needing a New HomeMy Dad (bless his heart) decided to surprise me with two Buff Orpington hens back in August - I had wanted to get two following the loss of my little Flo and Henrietta last year. He bought them from an auction while I was away visiting my sister leaving him to cat and chicken sit. Unfortunately Elsi...
Re: Can I eat a chicken which died from unknown causes?Whenever I hear that phrase 'at the end of the day' I can't resist adding 'it gets dark!'
Sorry, nothing to do with the thread - I just can't help myself
Re: The Henpals Rainbow Bridge LogOur cheeky, lovable Flo (28.09.14), gone to join our sweet 'blonde' Henrietta (30.07.14). We miss you both so much, Rosie and Eva Diva look lost without you. Never forget you, our first ever chickens you stole our hearts within 30 seconds xxx xxxx
Re: Chickens and Veg Patch just don't mixGarden netting works for us, just with a basic frame of wooden stick or even bamboo poles. We 'fenced' off the fruit bushes last weekend, my OH securing the net while I tried to stop a very determined Flo from diving in behind it (the other three were quite happily dust bathing and enjoying the suns...
Re: How to free range for the first timeI learned the hard way - don't have a cup of tea AND a scone while they're around - you get mugged!
Re: How to free range for the first timeI was the same - I've only had mine since February. They very quickly associate you with nice things to eat and so are very easy to get back in the run. Now if I carry anything down the garden while they're out and about, it takes me twice as long to get there as they're all around my feet trying to...
Re: eccentric hoarder?????They sound a bit jealous to me, and they have a cheek criticising you and then accepting free eggs!! I have a 4 chooks, a cat and a goldfish I rescued from a drain. In my experience, people who love and care for animals like yourself are on the whole much nicer, more caring individuals than those wh...
Re: Poorly bird?? help!!Hello, two and a bit weeks ago I had a terrible fright when of my newly aquired chickens came walking down the ramp minus most of her feathers . I spent that saturday morning panicking until I found this forum and discovered she hadn't been beaten up in the night - but was moulting - spectacularly! ...
Re: NewbeeThanks everyone,
I can't wait to see what the other three have in store for me!
Re: NewbeeThanks - I'm sure I'll have plenty of 'silly' questions.
NewbeeI just wanted to say hello and thank you . We are new to keeping chickens having only collected our 4 girls (2 Bluebells and 2 Isa Browns) 3 weeks ago. They settled in brilliantly, it was a bit disconcerting as they sorted out the pecking order, but by day two it was if they’d always been together –...
