    Fox Problem :( - advise

    Well i'm not sure what else it could be :/ I have seen as many as 4 foxes in my garden at one time so have assumed that thats what it is. Only other thing i can think of is maybe it was a Badger but again i've never seen one near the house or on the CCTV, which conveniently didn't catch what...

    Fox Problem :( - advise

    I don't have the problem at night, its during the day when I let them out the run to roam the garden. Its ridiculous. I've not lost a single one in the dark always during the day. :(

    The smell

    I loved brooding my chicks in my dining room, however when they hit 3 weeks old, they smelt SO BAD. I have never gone through bedding and feed like it and although I loved how excited they got when I walked past the door and how theyd follow me round the house if i let them out for a while... i...

    Cockadoodle-do, or don't!

    I love my rooster, I rescued him from a dumping ground, when i eventually caught him I might add! Weve estimated his age to about 5-6 years old as his spurs were that long they were sticking into the back of his leg! Poor boy, he soon had a manicure and has 7 lovely ladies to himself and he's as...

    Pullet or Rooster??

    Cream legbar is an autosexing breed, I had a pure legbar chick that is definitely a female, this one came out with the same markings but much darker, I'm guessing from her mothers side, which is why I concluded female but now not 100% sure. Time will tell I'm sure.
