    Is it because of winter? Rats? Or egg pecking?

    Well the egg quality seems to vary. My very dark coloured eggs have a fairly tough she'll but the White ones are very flimsy. Is there anything I should feed to improve this? Are they some type of products Yorkshire Coop? Yes it is colder this year for sure! I've increased corn and also been...

    Is it because of winter? Rats? Or egg pecking?

    Hi all! I'm a bit puzzled as to what is happening with my flock! Last winter 5 out of 6 hens were laying daily and now 1 maybe two are laying daily! Now here's the thing...

    Mystery illness/problem?

    She passed away at the vets :( post Morton revealed she had peritonitis from an egg that never formed properly -it was like a huge yolk that ruptured and went hard boiled. Rip lilac, enjoy the big hen house in the sky, lay lots of lovely eggs for the angels xxxxx

    Mystery illness/problem?

    Hi! One of my chickens woke up this morning ill. Came straight out the hen house, avoided the food and sat in the garden... At first I thought she was just put off by other chickens. Then later on, she hadn't really moved much so came over and picked her up (she will normally not let me do...
