Thanks, that’s great advice…I am moving to a new house in few weeks and plan to have a new area made for them with more nesting boxes and bars for them, so if they do need to go in during day there’s space for them and play things 🤞

Thanks, the 3 hens have all been laying each day since they were 5 months…the bullying has been going on for a couple months now, I thought it was getting better but seems to be getting worse that’s why I reached out for info here. I have noticed the black hen has started staying close to the...

This is great info thanks…I have been removing the bully but now I will remove the victim (black hen) the way you have and hopefully this gives her confidence to stand her ground. 🤞

Hi Everyone, So I have 3 hens and 1 rooster who are now 6 months old, we had 3 eggs yesterday and 4 this morning. This is the second time to happen! I’m confused as pretty sure they can only lay one egg? We’re all looking at the rooster 🤪 Ideas? Could it be down to one being slightly bullied at...

Thanks 😊

Thanks so much 😊

Damn hormones! Thanks 😊

Meet Nugget, again named by kids 😬 Very quiet and loves being with Goujon. Gets on with all. Makes cute little whistle noises the others don’t. Starting to like the dog and loves sleeping in arms! Is a bit clumsy and daft, doesn’t like loosing the others. Has tuft on head and feathered feet...

Meet Goujon, excuse the name 😬 Think this is a hen? (Always thought male) Very quiet, not mad about being held. Very strong and starting to come out of comfort zone, likes jumping! Has big tuft on head, ideas of breed or helpful hints welcome, learning as go!
