    Is my FiFi a Roo?

    I was wondering if I could ask your views on whether my FiFi is a rooster? She / he is a lavender Pekin bantams and is about 16 weeks old. Her comb seems more pronounced than some of the other chickens. The first photo is FiFi and the second one is Bluey, another chicken from our small flock.

    Pest prevention - baffled!!

    Thank you ever so much for replying to my message. That’s really helpful advice for a newbie like me. I have been reading up on those worming analysis kits and they seem a good investment. As you say it’s good to know what you’re treating and to find the right treatment. So sorry for my late...

Living on a small island i am limited to a small choice of chicken supplies. Thank goodness for good...

    Pest prevention - baffled!!

    Sorry newbie question - Do you clear out your run each time it rains to avoid coccidiosis?

    Thanks a lot for replying. I’ve now swapped to hemp bedding. It seems to be working better thankfully. The straw really impacted when wet and was quick to go a bit wiffy!! I’m slowly learning and we’re going to make some changes to the coop set up before Autumn / winter. Thanks for the tips...

    Sorry newbie question - Do you clear out your run each time it rains to avoid coccidiosis?

    Thank you Mary and my apologies for not replying sooner. I’ve now swapped over to hemp bedding and trying to cover the run when it rains (although it’s on a slope so it will get some run off rain water). It’s quite daunting being a newbie and being responsible for these fluffkins as my...

    Sorry newbie question - Do you clear out your run each time it rains to avoid coccidiosis?

    Hi, i’m completely new to keeping chickens and wanted to ask for some friendly advice and any tips you might have for a newbie! I’ve just received 4 very cute 12 week old lavender Pekin bantams. They have a coop with a run attached. Hopefully when they’re bigger and older they’ll be able to...
