    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Hello Nifty Thank you for your message 😊 We are all well here thanks. I started with adopting 6 ex-batt hens and shortly after Abe nearly 8 years ago, I think, an elderly rooster, although the SSPCA always label them as young?! Have since expanded our flock, and intermittently adopted hens...

    Is it ok to remove just hatched ducklings from broody chicken??

    Hi KikiGirls I put several tbsp of the DE feedgrade in the porridge with the herbs and linseed (includes crushed pumpkin seeds as best natural wormer) and mix it in when the porridge has cooled. The chooks love it. I do also gently rub the stuff in the chooks from time to time. They seem ok...

    Coccidiosis advice

    My apologies. Just to be clear, I was suggesting using the oregano oil and nutridrench instead of the corid. Oregano is a natural antibiotic. I admit the first time around I used amprolium as could not get the corid in the UK. Personally prefer to try natural ingredients nowadays.

    Hi I'm new!

    Hi emkawa Welcome, and hope you enjoy the site ☺ I bet they did! I haven't tried strawberries yet with our lot. They go bonkers for sultanas, possibly even more so than mealworms!
