    Eating their own eggs

    I went to open my coop this morning to let the chickens out - as I do every morning as soon as it gets light, and in the nest box area I noticed some broken egg shell. I reached in to pick it up as the hens were all making their way outside, one of them turned back around and snatched the piece...

    Are cats a threat to chickens?

    I have 4 warrens that sleep in a small secure coop on a night, but I like to let them out every morning to free range in my back garden - their wings are clipped, and my fences are secure - but whilst sat out there watching them the other day, I noticed a neighbouring cat had appeared at one of...

    Why has my Warren stopped laying?

    I'm beginning to think so too - the guy we bought her from assured us she would 'resume' laying, but was 'just going into moult'? - he told us she was a year old, and that he was only getting rid of the bulk of his flock because of local authority regulations - at the time we didn't have any...

    Which food is best?

    The Warren I already have is very erratic with egg production, she went from laying one or two normal eggs here and there, to very small eggs with no yolks, then lastly she laid a very tiny egg (perfectly formed but the size of a thumbnail) about 3 weeks ago, and absolutely nothing since? I was...

    Which food is best?

    Hi, I have recently bought 3 lovely Warrens, they're 20 weeks old and the guy assured me they will be coming into lay pretty soon - my question is what feed to give them? I already have a Warren that (we suspect) is much older than the 1 year we were told when we purchased her, but we were...
