    Review by '' on item 'Aylesbury'

    I actually posted in a comment by mistake but I love my Aylesbury drake. Absolutely adore him. He has so much personality. I had two brothers but lost one to a fox attack. They are not aggressive, they love to wander around the garden, they shout a lot and dont like being on their own. My...

    I love my Aylesbury drake. He had a brother but lost him to a fox but we are going to get a companion for him in Spring when its breeding season in the UK. He's sooo handsome and funny and has such a wonderful personality. He shouts a lot. He's very big and to be honest I didnt realise how...

    Fermented Feed & Sprouting Questions (NEWBIE)

    Thank you :-) I live in the UK so our weather is never very extreme. Do you cover the pellets with water? Do you put your sprouts into those trays with holes in it? I'm wary of doing the wild bird seed now due to the warning about sorghum but I might give it a go with scratch grain. Thank...

    Show off your bantams, pet or show quality!

    Really? Oh my!! That would actually explain his/her magnificent tail its all feathery and waves in the wind. She doesnt crow though is this normal? And it would also explain why i've had no eggs from her. But she is dominated by Stella the head chicken (a standard size) is this normal as...

    Fermented Feed & Sprouting Questions (NEWBIE)

    I've never tried sprouting. For some reason I am a bit daunted by the prospect although i have a bag of wild bird seed that is just sitting there. I've read countless threads about it. Do they really like the sprouted greens then? I do like the idea of growing a little patch of seedlings for...

    Pale comb no eggs

    Hi all I had a fox attack 3 weeks ago and understandably my layer has stopped laying but I noticed her comb is not as red and looks a bit dry. She is going to the nest every day and singing the egg song but nothing is coming out. In every other way she seems ok though. Ie eating, dust bathing...

    How can I help my lonely duck?

    I'm so sorry to hear that it's awful when a pet dies. I have had exactly the same thing happen to me - had two brothers from ducklings 5 months ago who were inseparable and one of them got injured by a fox and died and I am also trying to think of ways to help him. He has two chickens for...

Please let me know what vet says. We are going to get Ronnie a male companion. I was gonna get him a lady...
