    Not only do they taste awful here they're full of highly processed junk.

    1 pm to 8.30 pm today. Warmish in the sunshine. It got a bit chilly in the evening. I thought Fret was going to get up there with them for a moment.:eek: This is not something one wants. It becomes a habit and they'll try to roost there for the night. I've done my bit of getting chickens out...

    I didn't think the article gave a fair representation of the RSPCA.:confused:

    I got the impression that Mow was looking for something/s in particular when she went into the field. She's quite particular in what she eats. The difference in what and where Mow forages is noticable when compared to the others. I believe that chickens and many other creatures self medicate...

    It's been more disjointed than busy the last few days. The field had an open day that is promoted by something called the Get Growing Trail organized by The Bristol Food Network. https://www.bristolfoodnetwork.org/news/get-growing-garden-trail/ There are a few of these seasonal profile...

    Three hours this morning. The torrential downpours this afternoon were forcasted so morning time out in the mostly dry seemed the best bet. Sure enough it pissed down this afternoon. We had thunder and lightning and some very spectacualr cloud formations. They went out to eat for maybe 15...

    One and a half hours this morning and one and a half this afternoon. It's been raining not hard but on and off most of the day, just enough to turn the day dreary. It's got chilly with it 7C with wind. We all got out both times despite the light drizzle. The chicks have been pairing up, like...

    The probability is they will all have to go within a very narrow time frame. An unfortunate fact about same hatch mulitple cockerels is some, not all, form gangs and terrorise the hens and piss the roosters off. I've had both. It was bad enough with gangs free ranging, at the field there is no...

    An hour this morning and two hours this afternoon. It stayed dry at around 12C. From the morning. Henry has found himself a new nest. This afternoon. That;s full size mix on the right in the small bowl and crushed mix on the right. The wheat is still just a bit to big for them. Mow...

    They all do it given the opportunity in my experience. If the coop is okay the stage doesn't last for long unless mum gets up there with them.:D

    The fourth one isn't in the picture.:lol: I'm going to be having words with Fret about trying to dodge the 50% of each statistical expectation.

    I was feeding them a bird seed mix to which I added spelt wheat and dried split green peas. https://www.reallywildbirdfood.co.uk/seed-mixes/original-farm-gold-/ofgold The bird seed mix is good, but by using spelt for the wheat content, reducing the sunflower seeds and replacing the peanut...
