    FEATHERS EVERYWHERE!

    Hi, I'm looking for advice. I have 4 hens in a massive coup and they get let out every 2 or 3 days to free range in my garden. Yesterday they were out and we noticed about 10 white feathers on a grass, assumed they were from my only Sussex hen . This morning, I went to the coop and the hut is...

    Ex Bat limping

    Hi,I'm a novice hen keeper and am hoping someone can advise me. We got 2 ex bats 5 days ago. After keeping them in their own hutch for 2 days, I let them out in the garden for a few hours every day. Everything was fine, but when I got them out today, 1 is limping a lot, holding her foot up when...

    what breed and gender is this little chicken?

    Found this yesterday evening by the canal, there was no one nearby to ask, so I don't know where it escaped from! I reckon, judging by the size of my other 2 chickens, it's about 10 weeks old.

    boy or girl light Sussex?

    13 weeks old and doesn't cluck, more like a 'honk'! I've had to rehome 3 of my initial 5 chicks, and if this chicken is a boy, I'll be upset, it's very friendly, loves sitting on my knee for a stroke!

    what to do with the cockerels?

    Hi, we are hen-keeping novices and were given 5 chicks to keep from 2 days. The problem we are facing is that we don’t want to keep cockerels, as we don’t want any more chicks and want to eat the eggs. Just wondered if anyone had any ideas of what to do with them. We suspect 2, maybe 3, are...

    Novice: What to use on the floor in the chicken coop

    Hi, we have got some 3 week old chicks and have started to think about putting them outside in the next few weeks. The problem is, I can't find a definitive answer as to what I should be putting on the ground. We will be paving underneath and I was thinking of putting woodchips down over the...
