    Foxes have moved in!!!!

    Hi all: Well, we got a huge bag of hair from the local barbers and made bombs out of old stockings. We sprinkled hair along the foxes trails, on their poos and put hair bombs in all entrances of the den. We also hung hair bombs from our fence. Then we sprinkled male urine all over the trails...

    Foxes have moved in!!!!

    I've just had an awful shock. I was walking along the bank that runs between the main road and my garden wall and I found a huge mound of fresh earth with loads of tunnels round it. I went back with my Hubby just in time to see a fox running off. It looks like foxes have set up home six feet...

    "A cockrel? Who me?!?"

    Still chuckling to myself - Our 9 week old Cockerel crowed for the first time this morning. He stood there looking astonished as if to say"what was that noise" and all the hens including the big ones stood about preening themselves and looking around expectently for the "Man" :) edited by staff

    Can I take eggs from incubator and put them under a broody hen?

    I gave my broody ex bat some eggs which she nutured and cared for as her own, until the morning after the first two hatched. As soon as she saw the chicks she started pecking at them really hard. So I took them away and put them under a light in doors. Six weeks on their doing fine. So just be...

    Do older chicks did food in their coop for midnight snacks?

    My six week old chicks are in a rabbit hutch in my covered run. They have a 15wat light in there which I turn off after an hour or so. They have pellets and water in there and seem to enjoy having a nibble when they first go to bed. It also acts an an incentive when they are naughty chicks and...

    Greetings from newby in Portsmouth

    Unfortunately my ex bat broody was a brilliant dedicated mum until the hatching day. Then she pecked the chicks so hard that I had to seperate them. I don't think she understood the link between eggs and chicks. Unless it was because the chicks were a different colour. Still she's back with her...

    Greetings from newby in Portsmouth

    Hi I live near Portsmouth, Hampshire. I have three ex bats happily living in my garden. One of my girlies decided she wanted to be a mum so I got her some fertile eggs. I now have four six week old chicks. :)
