In my experience hens just need a little bit of time and space and they should be fine in a week. If you have a chance you can put them in the same space and separate them with a wire mesh so they can get to know each other. Leave them like this for two days and put them all together...

Hi, I started to give them some salmon but when I was observing how they eat it I found out that some of the chicken get big chunks and run away and some don't get any. After that I just started to cook fish with potatoes (ratio fish 1:2 potatoes) and I mashed the mixture and added alittle bit...

Hello everybody! I work as a chef in a small restaurant in which we are also serving some salmon dishes. We cut our own fish that comes fresh from Norway and we don't use some pieces (tail, head, fins, bones and meat arond them etc.). The fish is very fresh and high quality becouse it is also...

Hello everybody! This is my first post on the site and also my first question: I am planning to buy a mother hen with already hatched chicks, the problem is that I don't know how they will react to their transport. I am not so concerned about keeping the chicks warm - they should stay warm with...
