    Anybody used the Flubenvet layers feed?

    Hi I've used this twice on my flock with good results. The first time it was a preventative dose; the second time after I spotted worms in one of my hen's poo. Just give as normal feed for seven days. You can buy small 5kg bags in Amazon UK which makes it easier and cheaper as the shelf life is...

    Double yolk eggs?

    Hi my chickens have also been laying for only around 3 months and we get a double yolk egg around once every two weeks. It always comes from my biggest chicken who tends to eat more than the rest so I'm sure that has something to do with her laying bigger eggs. I have heard this is also not...

    Out of six nesting boxes girls only use three of them, why?

I found an egg in the run because one of our chickens couldn't get into the preferred nesting box. The solution: I bought rubber eggs and put...
