    Comment by 'Ali T' in article 'How Much Room Do Chickens Need?'

    Good article, I would mention that in my case the two bantams and two hens that I have just love to free range around my garden. They eat the grass, have dust baths under my tree, eat the bugs of the raspberries (and rasps) also get shelter in their covered run and have the option of going into...

    Thank you Perris for the super article on feeding . I feel I can choose so much more variety in giving my poultry healthy meals alongside their free ranging .:)

    Hi that is a good idea . I have 12 Quail and they are super little birds to look after, and lay lots of eggs . They are kept under cover and as draught free as possible. Staying in Ayrshire.

    Yup my hens take a step out see the rain and do a u-turn and quickly come back inside. lol. The Silkies get really wet so I keep them mostly in (the others fair better). Here is hoping for dry weather and lots of dust baths for the chooks,

    Quail keepers UK and EU - treat / food query

    I found the same problem , I give my Quail (and hens) oats and corn as treats. I only have a few so often use the frozen and packets from the stores with my groceries.

    Thank you for this information I only have a few hens which provide me with just enough eggs for my family, so do not need to market my own, however it is good to keep up with current news on these issues.

    Good information. I have trouble keeping the water from freezing in the coop so may try the heating method. Also like the tip on making the perch wide enough for their toes to stay covered by feathers.:)

    Review by 'Ali T' in article 'Wholesome home-made chicken feed, without sweat, tears, a calculator, or deep pockets.'

    Very informative. I feel more confident in feeding my small flock of chickens such a varied diet, along with their free range outings in the garden. I also like the fact I can purchase a lot of ingredients from my store for this, rather than be confined entirely to commercial feed.
