I have had my little flock for 6 months now. They are Silver Grey Dorkings, 5 hens and an unrelated cockerel. I hope to hatch a few next spring. We are being hit hard with Abian Influenza and, here in Suffolk, we have to lock down our birds in a secure run 24/7. Looking forward to getting to...

Hello Everyone, I am coming to the realisation that finding Permethrin in the UK is becoming quite difficult. I've read the very helpful thread on percentage dilutions here and as a new chicken keeper was hoping that the transition on this side of the pond, in terms of treatment for mites...

In a couple months I'm gonna hatch some d'uccles. I'm looking for anyone who sells (and ships/delivers) d'uccle hatching eggs in England. I checked ebay but they only sell in groups of 6, I can only hatch 4 eggs. Probably not gonna get any replies. Thanks

My parents have finally said that, when avain flu in the UK dies down, I might be able to incubate my own eggs!:celebrate However, I know that in the UK you are meant to get poultry vaccinated. Does anyone know how much this costs and where (in Devon, UK), you can get them...

My last two hen quail need a new home. They’re both laying daily. Very healthy, kept in a cage in a shed and fed layers pellets. They’re now about 7 months old. I’ve found that they just aren’t the pet for me. Please contact me for me for more information. Cage is available if needed. Situated...

I am pretty sure we have at least one, probably 3 white Sussex boys, (incubated & hatched by our hens but from eggs we brought) in need of a good home. One is 6 weeks old & the others 4 weeks, so no rush yet but we can't keep them all unfortunately. Raised by our hens so not handled very much...

Hi, We have 6 Indian runner ducklings, 5 hatched 1.5 week ago and one 3 weeks ago. As we are keeping 3 adults as pets we are looking to give them away to a someone who can look after them.

Hi all, I’m relatively new to chicken keeping having rescued 4x ex battery hens in December last year. All four are settling well. They’re not bald anymore and follow me around the garden. I’ve attached a photo of the girls. I am a fully vegan mother of two boys. We love having chickens and...

:frow:frowI thought it might be nice to have a European thread to share our experiences and support each other when needed. I also like the idea of somewhere to ask about meds / products that we have access to that are different to the US and UK. I'm guessing even hatching eggs would possibly...

Is there anyone from the U.K. on this forum??? I’m from Staffordshire. James

Hi, I'm James and I'm from Staffordshire in the UK. Who else is from the UK, and which part? Looking forward to reading the responses!

Hello! We are Rochelle and Philip from the Southcoast of England. This is my first time keeping chickens but my husband had chickens as a child. Philip is in computer engineering and i work in a Preschool. Infact that's where our Silkie eggs are currently. In an incubator at PreacPres so the...

Anyone from England, like, at all? I'm down in the south coast! Right on the beach (would be nice if the weather was good - for once). :frow
