    There is still a long, long way to go but it is steps in the right direction.

    Chicken ate Head Band - the large kind

    For anyone who has read this post and given some very good advice, I thought I would let you all know that my 'little skinny miss' is still perfectly well and thriving. I tell you what I sometimes wish i had a stomach like hers after I have eaten a dodgy curry. Lisa

    EU Ban on Battery Farming

    I wasn't quite sure where to post this so moderators please feel free to move it to it's rightful place if need be. As one person who loves seeing her little ladies flouncing round the garden, standing on my fork when I am trying to dig, and take great pleasure from them, I was very pleased to...

    Thank you for the Newsletter

    I was just wondering today what I was going to do about a cold hen house and a muddy run this winter. Low and behold this evening your newsletter came through by email. Answered all my questions. But I must admit, I do not think I will be having as many wet problems as you Pat! What is your...

    Chicken ate Head Band - the large kind

    Another update. She is still going strong. I have given up looking for the head band. She is still 'little miss skinny' but seems healthy enough, just not as buxom as the rest of my girls. Mind you she uses her slim build to her advantage. She manages to squeeze through the gaps in the...

    Chicken ate Head Band - the large kind

    This afternoon she is running around as normal, just have to wait and see I guess. It was extremely hot and humid this morning and as she has never been as big and buxom as the rest of my girls, maybe she had heat exhaustion (?). I have put a capful of Apple Cider Vinegar into their water...

    Chicken ate Head Band - the large kind

    I just thought I would give everyone an update. I never managed to set up an isolation unit. But kept a close eye on the suspected culprit. It has been a week now and no sign of the head band. All my girls are fine. I will obviously keep my eye on them for any signs of ill health but so...

    Chicken ate Head Band - the large kind

    Thanks for the quick replies. Oil, Bread and isolate then watch (and hope) that she passes it through. I had better put together an isolation unit tomorrow. Somewhere, somehow. Thank you so very much. Any idea how long things take to go through their digestive tract? Lisa

    Chicken ate Head Band - the large kind

    I have only had my girls since February (New Hampshire Reds). We got them as chicks and they have been pampered pets ever since. My 9 year old son was playing in the garden with my daughters head band. Yes it was the elastic type that go over your head and behind your ears. Mrs Skinny, as...
