Hi Mo, I don't really know but would it not start to smell when it's turning???

Maybe that's the solution if there are so many. I must admit it did take us a while until we started to catch them. My OH borrowed an air rifle and spent many a night stood in the dark 'half cocked'!! Think we had the wrong sort of pellets though (not pointy enough) as he did hit them a few times bu...

Well they loved the butternut squash Lots of chatter when I brought it out and the seeds were gone in a flash, didn't take them long to demolish the whole thing

Just been reading that pumpkins are a good treat for my girls (especially as it looks like one of them has signs of worms) but I think I've missed the Halloween boat Would butternut squash be just as good?? They're on Flub but I thought a bit of extra help can't do any harm and I'm sure they'd love ...

You do have a twinge of sadness because they are quite cute close up but like you say they just breed to quickly and if you don't get on top of it you'll never get rid of them. We kept finding little piles of layer pallets around too where they'd been storing them to eat later so also costing us a f...

Good Luck Perseverance is they key I think!

The only thing we caught with the snap traps was mice Yes, unfortunately you do have to persevere, I read somewhere that the traps needs to be down a couple of weeks before they'll go anywhere near. As for disposal, that was left to my OH but he just put the whole trap in a trug of water. I know it'...

Hi Kitla, we had quite a big rat problem last winter and they were getting into the chicken shed so we had to get rid of them. We used an humane cage, actually we had 3 of them dotted about in the end and then you can either remove them far from the garden or dispose of them but they had to go!! If ...

Thankfully she seems to have come out of it now. Saturday morning I went to lift her out of the nest box and she ran out herself and hasn't appeared inclined to go back in since. Just hoping she's still pottering about when I get in tonight, that's if I make it home before it goes dark Thanks for al...

We've got a little separate area outside, we're thinking of putting her in there when we get home later today as we've noticed that when she's clucking all the time the other's are picking on her a bit and she's a bit skitty. She'll have her own food and water in there and she can just chill

She's a Russett Green, not a pure breed and she's very young. We only got her two months ago at Point-of-Lay. You have to feel sorry for her clucking all the time

We've been keeping hens for 7 years now and we've got our first broody hen We noticed at the weekend that she was spending a lot of time in the next box so we kept taking her out and she seems right as rain pottering about and doing normal chicken things but you could guarantee we'd go back a bit la...

I certainly get a good feeling when I know I've done my little bit I work for a luxury car manufacturer who are really taking this seriously. We've been certified as carbon neutral and the car park has been fitted out with the largest number of solar panels in the country. Lots of trees have been pl...

I, like a lot of people try 'to do my bit'. But then you look at countries like the US and China and think 'really? what's the point' I think a lot of people are now more aware and do what they can but only so it doesn't impact on their lives too much! I can't see it being resolved in my lifetime un...

The suspense is killing us
