Congratulations and thank you! The chicken photo here was taken on Snowdonia a week ago (at the foot of Cadair Idris), when this little hen came up to say hello. I gave her some grape bits, and snagged a photo. Sadly, my daughter no longer keeps chickens (yet we were able to rehome them and...
UPDATE: Neville found a perfect home on a lake in Florida in the country with five hens to love and ducks nearby and will be able to free-range a few times weekly.
Oh, wow. You are waging and winning the predator war over there. Good on you for eating your kills. Did you ever read “Where the Red Fern Grows?” Great little book about a little boy who works hard to save for his first coon hound pup and all about his adventures in life and hunting coons. Great...
Gladys was truly beautiful. That is so sad about the fox. I feel guilty, am forgiving myself for not checking the pen after dark and for sleeping with the noise canceling headphones on. Hopefully our little scissors beak chickens went as fast as possible. Thank you for your sharing about your...
Ps. I forgot to mention that the chooks do not free-range as they live by a prairie full of predators. If the one roo finds a home, maybe the flock will more easily accept Peach Fuzz. Ty again. Will do more predator proofing based on your ideas. ❤️💕💘🐓🐥🐔💗
Ty for your loving remarks, support and excellent input. We have an apron that is about 9-12 inches around the entire Eglu and its 9 foot run for a Peach Fuzz. It was historically moveable, but maybe I can add ground cloth and a plant/grass border to deter predators. The large walk-in run for...
Our chickens got scared out of egg-laying previously. We have had to deal with heat stress, chicken stress, periodic moults (a mini-moult plus the regular annual moult) and even changes in their food amounts can reduce or stop egg-laying. Good luck! #chickenlove 🐔❤️
Oh, we just have the one roo (and are giving him away free to a good home,) but I understand. A gentle, kind rooster is an amazing creature. So sorry it is illegal where you are in NY.
This is an interesting roo dilemma. We had 20 roos, out of 30 unsexed Bantam Easter Egger's, last spring (from Crackle Hatchery). Very slowly we adopted them out.
There were many very pretty roos, all colours, but we ended up keeping only two (one was special needs). The one we kept for the...

It was a wonderful little story, charming and funny. Thank you for the kind condolences. We really can't keep a rooster now (have one normal beak one to re-home), as my dear SIL is very sound sensitive, works at night thru dawn in a home office (and the roos have been making him bonkers). That...
