    Building run, Any suggestions?

    Though this looks good, and as I said before, very similar to my Mums, I would seriously consider a cover over the run. We have had heavy rain today for the first time since ours was installed. I went up to a sea of mud with four hens paddling in it! Poor Martha Cecilia, who is very short...

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    Today they are mainly eating layers pellets and corn with a treat of dried mealworms which they love. If I try to sprinkle 4 or 5 piles of mealworms so all 4 can get them, Bluebelle, the Sunnyside Blue hybrid spins around in the middle pecking as many mealworms as she can from each pile to stop...

    Hi Everyone, I don't have any chickens of my own really.

    Thanks Drumstick Diva, and thanks to everyone else who has also been so welcoming. I am sure I will always get good advice here and I may take you up on the idea of posting regularly on the "stories and Pictures of my Chickens" thread. I think my photo's may need to improve a bit though. I'm...

    Hi Everyone, I don't have any chickens of my own really.

    I wanted my Mum and Dad to have something to look after as they have always had animals but being very elderly I didn't want them to have pets in the house that they would trip over. When I suggested chickens for something to feed and watch, to keep the vegetable plot down and for the bonus of...
