    My chicken died and I can’t stop thinking about her

    Sorry for your loss. I must admit, it crushes me each time I lose one and I cry like a baby, and I feel just the same, kind of guilty because I couldn't stop it happening. They hide illness so well that when it manifests its often too late. If only they could tell us what's going on.

    Flubendazole 1% Individual Dosage?

    Two of my hens recently had a heavy, and somewhat late moult. One of them has been unwell for a week now with diareaha, although up until yesterday she was eating enthusiasticaly, more so than normal, which makes me think she has worms.

    Electrified Fence Idea

    Would the gallagher cat kit fence work to keep foxes out if I use a stronger energizer with it. It seems an ideal solution to attach to my fence.

    Electrified Fence Idea

    What I want is to stop them climbing the fence and jumping over as my girls free range. That's that idea out the window then.

    Electrified Fence Idea

    Oh. As my wires will be attached to fence posts 6 feet or so in the air, when a fox touches it won't it have any affect as its feet won't be on the ground? Or am I missing something.

    Electrified Fence Idea

    Please excuse my ignorance on ths topic, I know very little about the subject. My plan is to install wooden fence posts along two sides of my garden and fit angled timber pieces to the top of the posts (like a cat frame bracket) and then run 2 or 3 (whichever you think best) pieces on pollywire...

    Bumblefoot For Almost 8 Months

    Soaked and redressed her foot again this morning, and there's definitely further improvement. It's been surprisingly dry for a good few weeks here in the UK, but as rain is expected I used a hydrocolloid dressing on her foot today to ensure it stays clean. I'll leave the dressing on until...

The image is from this morning after I'd soaked and washed her foot...
