Re: Our Hen AdventureAfter my worry about Peep being poorly the other week she *touch wood* has been completely normal since. Just trying to scare me I think. Since completely covering the floor in wire we put down some soil from the garden centre thinking its be nice and sift on thier feet. I think it is but it's so mu...

Re: Our Hen AdventureThe girls really enjoyed their pumpkin today. I thinks it's still under attack at the moment. Peep loved it the most, she's been pecking at it all day. I felt a bit silly carving a chicken into a pumpkin this morning, but was so worth it watching them have so much fun with it. I also never realised ...
Re: The Henpals Rainbow Bridge LogSounds like you have a really supportive vet Amber, but so sorry to hear of your loss
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.I've been trying to follow your thread for ages Bob but you update so much I can't keep up! Maybe I'll finally catch up when your on your hols
Re: karen's chicken diaryWhat lucky girls Karen, butternut squash and pies! Good thing my girls can't read or they'd be demanding a pie as well.
We have the tapping as well on our door, but I think it's more of a head butt as they as try and look through the glass bless them.
Re: Our Hen AdventureThanks for the reassurance, google was making me go crazy! Limestone flour sounds good and if it's powdery probably to get them to eat. I'm really going to miss them in the dark evenings, I'll have to watch them in my camera when I'm at work instead i think I'll add butternut squash to the treat lis...
Re: Our Hen AdventureI feel like I've not got much to update on lately as I don't see much of the girls in the week now. We used to have some time before work and after work, but now they get up so late and are on the way to bed when I get in. They do get up again when they see me though to check for treats! After loosi...
Re: The Henpals Rainbow Bridge LogThank you all for such kind words
Re: Our Hen AdventureIt still feels very strange only having three girls now, it's far too quiet and manageable! Although saying that they have nearly eaten a whole banana tree now between them over the weekend. I definitely think they've noticed a change. Sweetie seems a lot more grumpy with the other two and Dollys be...
Re: Our Hen AdventureUnfortunately little Mellow had to be put to sleep this morning I found her really floppy and eyes closed as I got them up this morning. The vet said something about an infection and going intoshicj. She was nearly gone by the time we got her in. I can't believe here's only three now and this time l...
Re: Our Hen AdventureThank you all for your kind words I keep thinking I can see her and looking for a fifth when counting them in. She was so happy though which is what we wanted for her
Re: Our Hen AdventureJust a quick update to say that poor Lolly had to be put down tonight I came home and only saw 4 chickens so knew something wasn't quite right. I found her huddled in bed and then could see she'd had a vent prolapse, which looked a lot worse than what Dolly had the other week. The vet thinks she was...
Re: Our Hen AdventureThanks Sandy and thanks Kitla for advice re the fumer. I've saw one in pets at hone yesterday and it looks quite scary, but will give it a go if the mites hang around. I don't know how they're still surviving! Dolly seems so much better in herself already. One day of rest and she couldn't wait to be...
Re: Our Hen AdventureHi Karen, girls are ok thank you. Sorry it took so long for a reply! Update: my husband and I have been on holiday (at home) so the girls have had a lovely couple of weeks being outside all day and digging up our garden! It's lucky they're so cute that they can get away with these things The red mit...
