Hi, so pleased you rescued those little chicks, good luck with them.

Sorry you having duck problems, I only have chickens, but I wish you well with your little duck. Hope she gets well soon.

I've cleaned out my hen house this morning, I sit and talk to my lovely girls, they come to me to see what treats they're about to get and run off clucking happily when I did worms up for them. They don't come in the house but I go into theirs, they don't mind at all. If that's weird then I'm...

Thanks for sharing pictures of you lovely ducks, the seem very happy with their pond.

So why do you think yourself "weird"? I clean my birds out as soon as necessary, I give them treats most days, they have always got clean water and I say thank you to them when I collect their eggs. If that makes me weird then I guess I am, but its just how I like to treat them.

What a wonderful coop, you did a fantastic job - and you're still married ! Thanks for sharing you coop building journey, I just wish I had more room in my garden for a bigger run. What does you dog think about your birds? One of my dogs think they are there just for her entertainment, she...

Hi, your coop and chickens look great, are they Polish birds? How many birds do you have? There is lots of information on this site if you need it. I've had chickens for several years, but still learning new stuff everyday. My three little ladies are Skyline Heritage and lay pale green eggs. I...

Thanks for this information, I will take it all on board when I get my new girls in a few weeks.

Where are you in UK?

I'm glad you are looking after your disabled chicken, I hope you and she will enjoy lots of time together.

Its nice to know there are a few chicken folk in UK, hope to catch up with some of you in due course. I've had chickens for quite a few years, but these girls are the new ones. Its good to sit and chat with them after a busy day. I just found out that they like yogurt, it fell in by mistake...

I don't know about ducks, but if you can sit with your ducks quietly and let them investigate you so that they know you are no threat to them and gradually offer food they should come to you. That's how I got my hens to eat out of my hand and they recognise me when I go near their run. Good luck...

I am in Derbyshire, only three hens this time, hope to get more when coop and run is made bigger.

I don't know how many eggs my girls will lay each year, but they are doing OK at the moment, three eggs a day from just three hens, I think that's great.

I keep my chickens mainly for the eggs, and I will keep them for the rest of their lives. I sit and talk to my girls, they eat out of my hand and give a shout when there is a new egg to be collected. I love my girls, these new ones are the fourth flock we have had, my children grew up with...

Married, almost 40 years this month !

I am retired now, living in Derbyshire England with my husband, three dogs and my three new chickens. My birds are only 6 months old but laying well, they lay pale green eggs. The breeder told me that my girls would lay about 300 eggs a year each so I am using the eggs for cakes, meringues and...
