    Unknown breed

    I have limited information at the moment, I've just had this lovely girl given to me because she's a serial brooder. Sure enough she immediately set upon getting to her new home. Fab news for me as I love hatching chocks with a broody. But it's really upsetting me I have no idea what breed she...

    2 Chicken Prolapses?

    I have recently aquired a good 404sqm meter piece of land for my chickens as well as a substantial hutch capable of holding 40 chickens to a high standard.

    Drowing in Water - My Solution

    So this winter was our first with our new run. We used to have a small run and hutch but then we bought more birds and built them a larger area to themselves out of most of the garden. To our horror we discovered it was a magnet for water. A broken gutter system above it on the house and...
