    Friends or Foes?

    Glass barrier thank goodness. Chicken Licken on the window sill here keeps trying to get in the back door and today came round the front to get my attention. Smidgen my cat intrigued by her presence at the window. Just realised she must have jumped up onto the sill!

    Does anyone know how to "interpret" different noises your hens make?

She grumps if no treats are forthcoming. If I am out in the garden but not visiting the run she calls and she lets me know if...

    soft shell eggs

    Hi, I am in the same position as you. Just got three rescue hens a month ago. While they are laying 2-3 eggs a day, some are rough shelled, a couple of times I have had a no shell at all, but also some beauties being laid. They are well fed and watered. The one that is having the problem laying...

    Introduction

    Nearly a month in and my chooks are doing grand. In a larger run now with shade and dust bath areas, plus coop. Feels secure and getting two eggs a day. Love their crooning sounds as they settle in and begin to talk to me. So relaxing.

    Introduction

    Managed to get right old, bedding and water and food dispensers tidy and fixed up the door to hold open. It was propped up with wood, but returned to find it had been knocked away and one HNC out and Theo shut in. Luckily only away a couple of hours, as having exceptional hot weather for us...
