Hello, Okay, so it's a bit late because I have already done it, but wanted to check on here whether I have made a mistake. Basically, I had heard about decorating eggs for Easter, so I set a small project for the children to each paint an egg for their Nanny who hasn't had one of our eggs yet...

Hello everyone, This isn't anything important but just wanted to share. We have 4 chickens (2 a few months older than the others) and just recently they have all become so much more tame and loving. We had a few problems with how timid the new two were for a few weeks but they are really...

Hello, Hope you are all well. So none of our chickens have lay yet. We have four in total and one of our girls, an Amber Star named Amber is usually the first one out of the coop without fail every morning. She normally stays out too and just has a constant ponder about. However, today is very...

This is the new coop for our chickens. At the moment they are still in a two tier rabbit hutch and run. My husband built it and decided as it was bigger we could get some more chooks, so we now have four. He is treating the wood today and once that is all dry they can move...
