    I’ll ring my vet in the morning. See if that’s something they can do.

    Gapeworm??

    Noticed our 4 1/2 year old RSL seemed to be ‘barking’ occasionally this morning. She was lively and eating and looking well. I have heard of Gapeworm, so mixed Flubenvet with the pellets, just in case. When I’ve gone to put them to bed, she is gasping and wheezing and extending her neck. Is this...

    Whennto let new chicks free range in the garden?

    Thankyou. I let them out for a while yesterday evening. They were quite nervy and didn’t wander far. We herded them back in rather than leave them to do it. I will leave them longer this evening. Thanks for your help. We put all 3 together last night, Winnie is backing them into a corner and...

    How to tell if one particular hen isn't laying?

    Our 4 RSLs have been laying an egg each everyday without fail since September. For the last 2 weeks we have been only getting 3 eggs. I can't tell who isn't laying. They all seem well. Is there a "magic" way of finding out? Thanks. Emma.

    Newbie who is fretting!

    Only 1 of our flock of four is laying at the moment - 17/18 week old RSLs. She lauded yesterday for the first time and again today. Perfect little eggs. She needs to go on to layer food, I know but it is ok for the others to eat that too? Also, will the others lay when the time comes, if there...
